If the Goal is to top3, then you want a safe hero.
Al'Akir or Elise are the obvious options for me. Without more information, i would have to go with Al'Akir to both avoid early game damage and stay strong in the mid-to-late game.
Galakrond. Despite of reputation of "highroll" hero he is very good at getting to top 3 too, it's the only hero in the game who have 50% top 3 finishes. Too bad that an iconic top 3 hero, Deryl, isn't good enough anymore.

English is not my native language, so, with a high probability, mistakes were made.
Yeah, Galakarond but take the 2 drop on turn one - nothing is a safer 4th minimum, rather than go for the high-roll. Elise and Al'akir are obviously solid as said already, personally I find Ysera really reliable too.
I think I'd pick Ragnaros. Even though he's a slow starter, there's almost always a good target for him on 3, and the hero power helps so much with bad rolls in the midgame. I hate taking early damage, but I'd rather lose 15 HP in the first 6 rounds and stabilize, than botch all my rolls on Tavern 4 with heroes that get me there safely.
I never really had a bad run with Kael'thas either, but he wouldn't be my first pick.
Patches. Pirates are amazing midgame, and free pirates help a lot. if I ever really lose with a good pirate deck it's to a mega-elemental or Dragon build, or Poisonous Murlocs, both of which are going to be top 2 builds anyways
Galakrond for sure. If you play him the safe way, youre going to dominate the early game. Don't go for the highroll builds, instead take a tier 2 minion on turn one, and go from there. You're going to have decent health going into those critical rounds
I still think George is a very safe bet - whatever build you go for, having divine shields on tap is never a bad thing, and i rarely seem to have a bad run with him - but respect other opinions for sure.
for sure - but (for me anyway) its usually only when its Heads Up that an opponent will play a ghoul specifically to counter me - but maybe thats because im only a 7k ranked player playing in that standard of lobby lol. But yes, take your point. I still think hes a safe top 3 hero though.
Galakrond would be my choice as well. I think he has been giving me the most consistent too 4 and most consistent 1st place finishes, though I usually high roll. I should try the turn 1 T2.

Bit of fun...if of no interest simply ignore please!
You have ONE game of Battlegrounds where you HAVE to get a Top 3 - you can choose any Hero.
Who do you select?
For me, i would go for George the Fallen.
My magic will tear you......oh.

Maiev. Even after the nerf, she's just too good. She's almost a guaranteed first for me.
One Game? Elise EZ

Seems ok.
great answers guys....love the insight.

Only problem with George is Ghoul just wrecks you hardcore.

Wait, does nobody play Lich King anymore?
I always thought he was really solid no matter what tribes are offered.
