Most of the top meta decks now require little to no skill. Watching some of the high rank games (rank 5-legend), I can't even distinguish most of the players from bots. Mistakes are almost never punished (#NeverPunished), which means your decisions almost don't matter anymore.
If I had to pick, I'd say MalyYoggGiant/Token/Patron Druid needs the most skill out of the list, since you need to choose between using your spells as removal, or saving them for Malygos.
I would put Tempo Mage 2nd, although far behind Druid. At least you still need to save some minions/spells for more optimal combinations, then pray to Yogg-Saron, Hope's End when losing (so much skill!)
Even Control Warrior, once regarded as one of the more skillful decks to play, is now almost braindead with C'Thun Warrior (you have so many removals that there is almost never need to decide whether to hold back any of them), except in a few matchups where you can't just play C'Thun to win.
All the other decks on the list just need to play on curve or dump their hand to win.

There is a revival of the more standard control warrior shell now with ironforge portals and either a Yogg or N'Zoth package picking up in popularity, which I would say is more difficult to play than the C'thun warrior, albeit I wouldn't consider C'Thun warrior particularly easy, nor would I consider it much different than standard control warrior to play at a top level.

Of the currently accepted "Top Tier" decks in the post Karazhan meta, which one(s) do you think is the most difficult overall to play and why?
Malygos Druid is pretty difficult but extremely powerful.
MalyRogue
