Whether or not we have an aggro meta, or a control meta, I can't feel confident in saying that the feeling of a stale meta never takes into account individual player experience with the game as well, and not just the decks that are being played. If you've been playing for awhile you are going to be familiar with all, or most of the possible deck archtypes that will come out. This makes it so that even decks that 'play themselves' less so than others are going to feel stale when you play them simply because the best plays to win are generally straightforward a good portion of the time. I don't think individual decks are the only things that make up that stale feeling.
