After Defender of Argus' nerf, which do you guys prefer (assuming you only run one of them)?
I personally go with the sunfury protector. I think if you give +1/1 to two minions with Argus, it's value is better than sun fury protector. However, often times I only have one minion to taunt/buff. Also, sometimes I have more than one minion, but I only want to buff/taunt one minion. In this case, defender of argus only gives +1/1 to one minion, and I don't really think that's worth the two extra mana.
Most of the time in a deck where I would use either of them I use both. The advantage of 2 of each in a deck is a possible 8 taunts out and that is the main reason for them and why you will see certain control decks running 2 each.
Depends, Defender of Argus is better in an aggro deck than Sunfury Protector is because it buffs the minions, in aggro vs aggro match ups the player with Defender of Argus usually wins because he pulls ahead in the damage race by forcing unfavorable trades with Taunt. Also depends on the general survivability of your minions, stuff like Harvest Golem and Imp Master are likely to be around to buff or the ability to make Totems useful by turning them into unexpected attackers.
Sunfury Protector is more of a combo card, turns like Ragnaros, The Firelord and Sunfury Protector are just fucking unfair to your opponent and why I think Ragnaros is the best Legendary end game drop in Hearthstone period.
