Probably priest. Theft cards gave me the variety I needed to stay interested. Otherwise I would’ve quit a long time ago. I played priest A LOT in normal HS, though less so now (you know, beyond the rng nature of getting a class).
having a lot of fun with mage right now
Paladin. I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed facing paladins in HS’ history.
The SMOrc nature of hunters has always made me dread them
Priest. Largely because mirrors are boring. The rez meta in particular was a giant snooze fest even though my deck gobbled up rez priests for breakfast.
Priests also keep you on your toes with theft cards, which can get a bit annoying.
This list hold true for standard as well as duels, but the latter only exacerbates my problem with these classes. It is very unfun facing a paladin that can continuously rez their divine shield minions with their hero power. More so when they have relevant treasures.
Or imagine facing a hunter that pushes out 4/4 minions on turn 3 and SMOrcs your 20 health hero.
I homebrew so my experience comes from playing against the meta instead of playing it
Favorite 1: Priest
Most Currently Played 2: Priest and Rogue
Most Boring To Play Against 3: 1 Hunter 2 Druid 3 Mage
Most Fun To Play Against 4: 1 Demon Hunter 2 Warlock 3 Warrior
DH and Warlock are pretty much tied for that last one and Pirate Warrior is an exception. I don’t think I have ever enjoyed playing against the pirate quest.
Playing for more than 8 years now, have no idea what I would answer on 1 (hardly play ranked so don‘t have any numbers in game either).
2. Demonhunter, but a weird wild deck.
3. Any meta deck.
4. Midrange decks that actually play minions.
…I know that was not execatly your question. However, I play daily for over 8 years and have no idea what else to say here. Seems I have a different focus when playing, compared to most other players.
1: Paladin
2:Hunter and Paladin
3:1) Warlock
2) Druid
3) Mage
I just find every warlock deck rn in standard frustrating to play against, druid is druid and freeze mage is annoying.
4: 1) Hunter
2) Shaman
3) Paladin
i feel like whenever i play against these 3, i get the most heated and intense games.
