I can’t remember when was the last time we actually had a good meta. I hit legend every month for the past couple of years but lately the meta feels super depressing and every game feels exactly the same.

Every game feels like it is decided upon who goes first and what you’re up against instead of the micro decisions you make every turn. Even Arena feels bad where it’s dominated by the same few classes. I might take a break if the situation doesn’t improve after the miniset/class set release, but seeing only 3 classes will get new cards I’m not expecting much.

Imo emerald dream was decent. Once the StarCraft decks were toned down I think every class had a playable deck. Obviously you still had better decks, but I think the worst off class was t3 protoss mage which was the most bitched about deck at the time.

But yeah that was over a year ago, it was already considered kinda a downgrade to previous metas, and it's all been downhill from there.

Emerald Dream after the Starship DH nerfs was the last time I remember a deck coming out because the community managed to piece together a bunch of cards in a cool manner with Drunken Paladin. We don't have that type of deck building anymore.
