It's really hard to tell, depends on how gaming shifts in the upcoming years- 30 years ago the popular gametypes were RealTimeStrat, 2day's is MOBA & Cardgames. Now that HS is VERY stable, constantly growing in numbers and keeping fresh the only scenarios I can see where it dies is if a way better card game gets released/ a new genre of games becomes popular like the MOBAs did- predicting these kind of stuff is somewhere between insanely hard to impossible, so my answer is- IDK, no one knows for sure, and no one can even estimate the result without assuming and missing completely.
seeing as how hearthstone is to card games what WoW is to MMORPGs it will NEVER truly die. the MMO genre is a destitute barren land at the moment but WoW still holds strong. and the card game genre has been booming for the past 4 years or so
but with the new pay model i think blizzard needs to make some changes to ladder or its going to scare away all of their F2p playing base. like if youre legend you start off the next season at rank 5. the biggest grind is 5 to legend and actually being legend anyways. (and of course this should scale with all other ranks as well) this would keep the new player experience fresh, as well as a nice quality of life boost to high legend pushers
I thought it's dead already.

It'll go on as long as people re playing it and paying money towards it. It stops making money it stopped development.
I was wondering about that too!
So, do we know how long this can go on?
Long live the empire!

Yeah it all depends on the money the game can make. I think it will keep it's pace for at least a year, then there might will be a drop in players
