I have played close to 200 games solo and roughly 100 with one to three other players and find there are nearly too many options to explore.
There are plenty of options to run thematic decks (e.g. dwarves, Rohan, elves and - soon to be further enhanced - Gondor), specialised decks to conquer specific scenarios, all purpose decks to succeed in a large variety of scenarios and so on.
With this many expansions, I find myself looking forward to the scenarios of expansions more than to the player cards.
So I guess it's shaping up very well.
If you are interested in particular expansions and their player cards, just have a look at the reviews of expansion packs. I started reviewing some of the packs in the second cycle (Dwarrowdelf), the saga expansion and the last Mirkwood expansion. Here are the links in case you are interested:
