The beautiful thing about imbalance is that it creates a meta game:
An evolving state of play that keep anyone play style from being definitively correct, and allow the players to experiment with different approaches to the game.
Tips for creating this sort of cyclical imbalance:
1. Create a game where no matter how skilled the player is, their character or deck or avatar can't be great at everything.
2. Have a firm knowledge of how your pieces interact and what beats what, on an intuitive and mathematical level.
3. Give your players a wide enough pool of options that they can find an answer to whatever your're gonna throw at them.
