I think he's talking more about the rock-paper-scissors aspect of it, which does seem to suck some fun out of it.

Do you have holy fires? Its not ideal but you could try to run a lightbomb style deck with HF to replace them. Maybe a HF and another five or six drop minion.

Yeah, MoP heals can be big in the hunter matchup. You also have to be careful about tapping in this matchup, you almost never want to, unless you absolutely have no other play. I won a game against face hunter where I ran my void caller into his leper gnome turn 7 and siphon souled my own 1/1 demon(in case he only played a 2 power minion the following turn), his following turn he brought me to 3 w/ eaglehorn, arcane golem, hero power, then turn 8 I ran my void caller into his arcane golem bringing out mal'ganis, I wonder how salty that hunter was.
This deck wrecks zoo however, this isn't one of those demon/zoo decks which you may be referring to. This deck is probably overall less consistent than zoo because of the number of spells it has compared to zoo, but its better in certain matchups, like against zoo. I honestly don't think I've lost to zoo once and I've run into a lot on the ladder.

Well it's never not been a good deck, and I've seen a couple streamers playing it recently, including Kolento this morning.

Druid is so fucking dirty. I just played against a Handlock. Turn 3 coin innervate Emperor who got his ability off twice. Turn 4 double Druid of the Flame (one 2/5 and one 5/2) follow by turn 5 combo. That's just obscenely wrong. He was able to kill Thaurissan on his turn 5 (he went first, killed it with Twilight Drake + Mortal Coil), but that still left me with 25 points of damage on 5 mana on my turn 5. He had even only tapped once that game.
Anyways, my only Golden is Hunter. I feel like I should do Paladin or Shaman because tokens. Everything other than Hunter is somewhere between like 1-300 wins even though I have 3k ranked wins. Any input on what would not suck to golden right now, and looks good Golden? I'll probably Druid to legend first though

Shaman/Paladin are obviously best due to tokens. I like the Druid animation of the rest. They are all a bit off-meta. I grinded Golden Paladin a few months ago and am 25 wins from Golden Warlock now. Warlock is probably easiest in current meta becuase there are 3 legit builds: Zoo/Demons/Handlock, so you can easily mix it up. I'm thinking of spamming Warrior after that. Been craving me some control warrior recently.

Warlock was the worst arena class in vanilla and none of the cards that have come out since have really changed that any.
Just went 12 wins yesterday with warlock you really have to try to draft tempo anymore which is completely opposite of how I am used to doing arena.
Warlock still has very strong class cards and doesn't have a draw problem like many others do, which is what makes them so great for a tempo deck.

I'm extremely surprised you made it to 12 with no Healbots or AoE. Well done. Definitely a good draft tho, but you had to have had some lucky draws to pull that off.Just went 12 wins yesterday with warlock you really have to try to draft tempo anymore which is completely opposite of how I am used to doing arena.

Re: Gilgamel and Gavin saying Warlock is the worst Arena class. Sorry, wrong. And saying no cards have come out to change that is hilariously laughable. We've been through this before, but seriously? No cards have come out to change that? Warlock is around 5-6th. Get a Warlock with 2 Healbots and some non bottom tier creatures and your card advantage will beat far superior decks and players. Let's not even go into all the new removal and tempo options as well, and that was before Imp Gang Boss! You guys just don't play enough arena. I go 8-10 wins with random piecemeal Warlock arena decks all day long. Just because they aren't a popular choice, doesn't mean they aren't decent, and even really good with the right cards. You just have to understand how to play Warlock in arena, because it is indeed quite different from other classes.

Agreed. Rogue is in my top 3 or 4. Warrior and Hunter are dead last, no contest.
Mage
Druid
Rogue
Paladin
Warlock
Shaman
Priest
Hunter
Warrior
Rogue being ahead of Paladin is merely playstyle and the fact I can't seem to go below 8 wins on even the shittiest of Rogue drafts in the past couple months so I have a huge inflated sense of how good they are and somehow that confidence has affected my play and just made them objectively next to godlike for me personally.
I really have severely underestimated aggro/temp in arena, Just had another 12 win deck with mage this time with 0 removal besides one poly. Unless the trade is in your favor you just go face and put as much pressure on the opponent as possible and most people will draft slow decks that just can't keep up. My winrate has skyrocketed just drafting more towards tempo/aggro and just racing all of these slow decks while only trading when it's completely in my favor.
Here's the deck

Missing spec knight, 2 tigers, 2 sunwalkers, stormwind champ, nefarian.
