Arena brings variety that ladder decks sorely lacks. Each and every arena opponents you face brings a different deck, meanwhile in the ladder, it's always the same 4-5 decks, Odd Pala/Shudder Shaman/Spell Hunter.

After seeing and playing those 4-5 types of decks for oh-so-fking-long, arena is a breath of fresh air.

 That's true, but it's the overall repeated way arena games are played that makes it boring. It constructed almost every deck has its original way of being played due to your knowledge of every card in a deck. You know what your deck is capable of, which plays you are allowed to do and still win for instance when you know what opponent you're facing. Arena, on the other hand, is all about tempo unless you manage to get some powerful control tools. But even then it's mostly about curving and having a better deck. There are some key cards you're playing around but in the end, this is all just gambling and using your mana efficiently. 

For me the best arena part is drafting. Other than that It's too easy and losing, if You're a very good player, means having a worse deck, giving you frustration when turn after turn you're being countered and have no idea what to face next.

If for some, constructed game mode is boring, then he prolly didn't get himself into deckbuilding thus have no idea about the best part of every TCG.

I don't play constructed unless an interesting deck-building idea occurs to me and I want to try it out. Otherwise the game feels so repetitive. Arena is much more fun 'cause every run is different and I like the drafting process.

 How can it be more repetitive when you have access to build decks with all of the cards you own, and two different play modes?  

In Arena, you choose a class, and then you're provided with basically the same cards over and over again, because you pick the best ones and after a few games you know which ones they are.  Then you pick a different class, and the same thing happens.  You play opponents, who play the exact same cards you would've picked if you were that class.  And occasionally someone gets a Legendary or 2, which is so exciting to lose to.  

And then you win a few games, and get stomped by the same decks over and over again because the experienced arena players (yep, you guessed it!) play the same tired worn out decks over and over again.  Because they Net deck even their Arena decks.  

So no, you don't fool me.  Arena is worse.
