freeze mage has always been a thing and tempo has been a thing for a long while, they are kinda similar but not really mage is very stable. but freeze mage itself when you play it does not exactly get stale fast, lots of decisions. Generally I prefer facing it than playing it but still is very exciting. the problem is that it is very specific what meta it works in and so tempo mage is what people play generally, and it is more boring, mage had a few cool options that almost worked in gvg but the standard cycle limited that, but shaman is more boring generally, usually hving one viable deck at a time, warlock has always had 2 viable deck similar to mage though they are crazy different, warrior until recently was a control class, priest only recently got multiple archetypes but they all suck, hearthstone is not diverse, historically, this is changing but calling a class the least diverse, is a hard claim to defend, since they are all so one sided until recently.

Just fill your deck with one drops, that is creative deck design, right?
This next expansion is going to be critical for Hearthstone to avoid a pretty significant drop off in player base, I think .
Took the words from my mouth. If the expansion turns out crap, brings no new mechanics and just powercreep rubbish, i think i will cut my HS experience to "grind a daily quest, quit". I'm sure a lot of players feel the same way. Just the thought of playing the next season with no new cards makes me bored.
I'm sad people are not getting more creative with Mage, there's lot of experimentation space in Wild.

And not to even mention Shaman looks set up for the long haul as a tier 1 class after already having a year of it. Solid classic cards combined with inarguably the best cards so far WotOG on, cards that won't drop out for over a year, leave me wondering how Blizzard could possibly rein them in. The only hope is if they get exactly zero relevant cards in the next expansion combined with a significant power creep to other classes. . which will just be a horrible solution.
Similar situation for Druid. The Druid classic set is bonkers even after the nerf and they have received really solid cards to supplement it.
The game is stale because we're stuck with 2 Godtier classes and one more not far behind (Warrior) and it's really tough to see a resolution other than power creeping the other classes really hard or creating another monster class to counter them.
The meta is so fast right now because your best hope of beating the God classes is to punish a slow start.
