Dear Sir,
You are a troll! EoM
It definetly is the healthiest, but not the funniest.
And the netdeckshit is worse than ever before. But as long as they are crap 90% of the time and may only with with insane luck
At ranks 5-1 i was usually facing most interactive mages and rogues decks - so it definately doesnt apply for those ranks atleast in my opinion because fuck all random bullshit mage and rogue provide. On the other hand below those ranks and on casual
On the other hand below those ranks and on casual playgame there is a large diveristy of decks and people are trying a lot of fun stuff which is not frustrating to play against. Good for them. Fuck all the trihards with their broken decks.
Healthiest expansion? Goblins vs Gnomes !
Healthy my ass, it's either play aggro or die. I managed to bring control pally to rank 5 and then i stopped, couldnt be bother to keep facing rogue quest, pirate warrior,hunters and murloc paladin all the time (and aggro druid and the fun and interactive exodia mage). I'm playing quest priest in casual an the only fun i get is when i face taunt warrior or another priest that isn't silence OTK.
It could be fun to rate the metas.
#1 is Vanilla. Vanilla is obviously VERY good that is why people liked the game in the first place. You can even play fairly mediocre Tempo decks like: Rogue, Warrior, Mage tempo (at the time) if you played well you would have a good win rate. Lot of experimentation the net decking hadn't really taken off. Most feelsbadman deck was prolly Freeze Mage or Miracle Rogue and those were at least a difficult deck to play. Face Hunter was a bit obnoxious at times but it rarely closed out a game before turn 8-ten, post Buzzard nerf forget about it.
#2 is Old Gods-Karazhan. First rotation is going to be interesting of course. There we 4 types of Warrior. lol. 3 types of Shaman. Aggro Shaman was obviously obvious, Midrange was the Totem version which wasn't that obnoxious (compared to the top cancer decks ever) especially after Tuskarr nerf. Paladin had 2. Druid had a couple. It got a worse after people realized Yogg was OP, but that didn't really happen until after Karazhan. The Karazhan portion of the Old Gods meta was a lot worse than the Old Gods meta but still pretty alright. Almost no feelsbadman decks Aggro Shaman could win a little too fast, Freeze Mage still exists, worst offender was prolly Yogg.
#3 is Un' Goro. Hopefully this means all rotation periods are going to be fun. The Hall of Fame being added definitely helped spice things up (I think the whole classic set should rotate out personally). Most the decks require some interesting piloting and there is a ton of variety on Ladder (usually). Control options are maybe a bit lacking but Unicorn Purifier Priest is a top tier deck so how can you complain right? lol. Quest Rogue obviously can feel pretty bad, Face Warrior still exists but it is countered a lot easier now, and Mage can feel a bit oppressive when they get that 3rd or 4th Ice Block. lol Those aren't too bad as far as feels bad decks go.
#4 is Legue of Explorers. League is the only adventure that I would consider it's on meta. Elise, and Reno really had a huge influence on how decks were built. They both made for really cool new control archetypes. Discover was introduced. A lot of good stuff in this expansion to try out and do cool things with. This was during the reign of Secret Paladin and introduced Aggro Shaman. Aggro Shaman actually felt pretty mediocre until the rotation. I don't think Secret Paladin is that bad. It was mostly just EVERYWHERE. Solving the Mystery Challenger turn was at least an interesting puzzle and doing it correctly could lead to wins (if they didn't then drop Dr. 7 into Dr. 8)
#5 is Naxx - GvG - Blackrock. I would lump these three together. They mostly just added new cards to existing archetypes. This is counting post Deathrattle Hunter which, of course, was one of the worst metas but got nerfed relatively quickly from what I remember. These expansions started to really narrow what you could in HS instead of expanding it. There was Mech Mage...but not much else that got added. Midrange Druid really started to reign. Face Hunter was getting obnoxiously strong again. I actually think, what was considered one of the most cancer decks, Patron Warrior, was a healthy deck because of the VERY high skill cap. I think the difference in win rate was 40% to 70+% which is nuts, I really like the idea of having a deck that rewards skill that hard.
#6 is The Grand Tournament. This was just a super non impactful full expansion. It added Oil Rogue which I thought was a very fun deck and Secret Pally which is pretty much universally hated. Not great.
#7 is Gadgetzan. Pretty easy to place dead last. Even a decent amount of the streamers started to turn to other games or arena more often. Lifecoach straight quit Pro Hearthstone. The concept of turning the 9 classes into 3 archetypes was flawed from the start. Adding to that how oppressive and universal the Pirate Package become and you have a recipe for absolute disaster. Aggro became a turn 4-5 killer. Often. Forcing Control into running Reno or bust, unless your warrior. Warrior control of course was killed of by another deck Jade Druid which lost to the turn 4-5 killing aggro decks. Any attempt to make a deck outside cycle tended to fail. This is also why people worry about Aggro being too powerful. When an aggro deck is at the top of the meta it really limits what other decks can be played. If you have a control deck at the top, there are a lot of ways to beat a control deck, so it opens up what is possible.

@Gucciboy23: If combo is your favorite style of play, then Hearthstone is not the best game for you. Whenever an uninteractive deck starts to dominate and the player base can't find a consistent way to counter it (as they have with Exodia), Blizzard will actively nerf it.
If you want a meta dominated by flashy combos and uninteractive play, Shadowverse is your best bet. It's a very solid, robust game, but I don't enjoy it at all because of it's combo-oriented meta. Sounds like you might.

Exodia Mage seems to fit what your talking about, have you tried that deck?
Zalae had mentioned this on stream and I agree: The three day meta was the best. It was the three days before Standard and Wild went live but after Combo Druid, BGH and Aggro got herfed. For those three days you could not have to worry about getting stomped by Force of Nature + Savage Roar, and you could still use Naxx, GvG, BRM & TGT all in the same meta.
