only thing im getting right now is hunter cancer :(
Well, here's my impression, i've been laddering roughly just before LoE.
Before standard/wog i remember the meta was crowded with cancerous stuff, against which i felt i had little to no choice but play myself face hunter. It has to be said i was not very experienced tho.
Now i am no top player, but i think i know what i'm doing (except trying to foresee opponent's cards, that is something i DON'T WANT to do). And i think meta is still quite cancerous, but at least i feel i have some chances. I am rarely brutally overpowered, which is something that used to happen quite early before wog.
To some up, you can see how my summary is biased by the difference of my skill and collection in time, but i quite agree this is a better meta than in the past.
Yet, i wouldnt call it 'healthy' at all, because we have variety of decks, but not of players (too many play the same things on and on). It's just healthier than something which was badly ill.
Shouldn't this be in Standard section instead of General Discussion?
Legendaries crafted so far: Dr. Boom, Kazakus, Lord Jaraxxus, Sylvanas Windrunner, Fire Plume's Heart, Mal'Ganis, Bloodreaver Gul'dan, Baku the Mooneater, Genn Greymane, Aya Blackpaw, Patches the Pirate, Leeroy Jenkins, Zilliax, Raid the Docks and ancharr
The game has the lowest skill-success correlation it's ever had. Making true "face" decks fairly obsolete and nerfing Yogg hasn't changed that.
CCGing since '98.
I like the state of a meta very much. Even tho there are a lot of shamans its not like you dont know what to expect of them like when facing mages or druids. Whats more is that even if they are top tier 1 class ATM their playstyle isnt aggresive and doesnt focus on brainless SMOrcing like in case of past AGGRO shaman or new burst mage which is the worst shit ive seen in last year in hearthstone. Seriously ive just played burst mage and he literally threw every single spell at my face not even worrying about any top priority minion (flametongue, thunder bluff, mana tide).
All pure face aggro players should really visit a good expensive psychologist.
Meta is healthy enough, shamans just a little bit to much on power level.
I'm fine with midrange chaman being the dominant deck:
-there is actually interaction ! No 15 dmg from hand bullshit.
-the deck is actually more interesting to play than other past dominant decks. Playing a lot of games with it is not a chore.
-Deck has an actual nemesis in the form of freeze mage.
-I hadn't played chaman for a long time (I usually dislike playing aggro or face deck, they're nto good for my sanity)
you play warrior or shaman or perish
Most enjoyable meta so far was the undertaker meta. Kill the 1 drop before it kills you on turn 4.
Who can take your trash out?
Stomp it down for you?
Shake the plastic bag
and do the twisty thingy, too?
Until Hearthstone becomes Control > Aggro > Combo > Control and Skill > RNG we will never see an enjoyable meta.
Shouldn't it be Control < Aggro < Midrange < Control?

PremiumI do have the feeling that I can make decks which feature less than your obvious cards and win consistently (relatively) without being torn to shreds by a Shaman.
I would contend there will always be a deck which stands above the rest in this game, which will generally lead people to condemning the meta and the very fabric of the game itself.
To me, if the best deck is just some midrange-aggro deck where they play the game honestly, just with better cards, that doesn't bother me as much.
What killed me is when Grim Patron Warrior can kill me from an empty board without any input or say from me.Howdy! [cardimg=gold ]Card Name[ /cardimg] (no space)
Hey, how's it going?
What's poppin,' player?
Also Combo is kinda wierd, as it doesn't really fit the scheme - most combo decks are designed to beat a certain other archetype...
Meta is fine but not the best control>aggro and in no country does < mean greater than. ALSO combo is not just different control. Unless you think that anyfin is the only combo deck. Freeze mage is a variant in super old aggro mage and since then many hybridizations and slower versions have been released but it usually wins by turn 11 or else it has lost. No other viable combo decks atm but generally combo wants to win turns 7-12 and if that is not more midrang or aggro than control in your mind then I can't help you. Combo is varied but in general not control at all. Often they just ignore the board or freeze it because they are going to win regardless of the board they don't control the game they hang on to it by a thread and then suddenly win.
Just fill your deck with one drops, that is creative deck design, right?
Those are my stats since beginning of season. I wouldn't call that healthy, but it could obviously be worse.
