My all-time favorite deck was definitely Demon Warlock pre-standard, super fun to play and the only deck that I was motivated to hit legend with (65% WR from rank 5 on)
So many memories with Mal' "I am a turtle" Ganis :D
So, in the several mentioned, past or present. A few notable stats:
Total Decks Listed: 93
Total Posts Made: 66
Favored Archetype: Reno (11)
Highest Single Deck+Class: Freeze Mage (7), followed by Control Warrior (6)
Most Listed Classes: Warlock (19), and Mage (22). Priest and Rogue were lower, with a respectable 12 and 11 respectively.
Also Fun: Midrange would altogether have just as many picks as Freeze mage (7), depending on whether you assume that the 4 people who listed Midrange Shaman were serious, or joking.

Note: Some decks listed may have been the same archetype by a different name. (I.E. Maybe some tribe decks were tempo-based, or something similar.)

So, when a warrior uses Dead Man's Hand, what does that actually mean in terms of flavor? Is he the dead man? Does he cut off his own hand? Is that why he has Tentacles for Arms? Does he think that tentacles are actually as good as arms?
These reasons and more are why I think warriors are more mysterious than people give them credit for.
Classic control priest will always be the top star, but there are other decks I like playing.
Mill Rogue: horrible to play against awesome to play with. I love the decision making of the deck. Very hard to play and dependent of drawing coldlight oracles. It sukcs when you dont thats why it is inconsistent.
Reno demon lock, featuring malganis and jaraxxxus: renolock is wonderful, but i dont like leeroy as win con.
miracle and oil rogue: rogue decks are overrall hard to play, thats make the challenge enjoyable.
Control paladin featuring nzoth: playing my golden tirion gives me joy.
ramp druid: love to play it with non competitve versions with naga.
Renolock - just so many cards I enjoy playing and just a deck requires some skill unlike midrange shaman
I would say burgle rogue and miracle rogue but I can't simply enjoy them becuase every time I play this deck I'm matched up against a dumb shaman/hunter that kills on turn 7
Handlock was my all time favorite deck. Nothing was more gratifying than getting to 5 hp against a face hunter and dropping 2 8/8 Molten giants, taunting them up. and proceeding to heal while they wallowed in their own self pity.
1. Evolve shaman. Easily the most fun deck I've ever played in standard. I feel Iike not enough people have tried it. Needs lots of luck but lots of skill too.
2. AncestralSpirit/Windfury Shaman. Play large minions like Flamewreathed Faceless and Earth Elemental. Put AncestralSpirit and windfury on them. Then Faceless manipulate them to overwhelm your opponent. Not competitive but very fun.
Wild:
1. Resurrect/AncestralSpirit/Deathrattle Shaman. This deck abuses many overpowered cards with the crazy value of Resurrect/AncestralSpirit to quickly out value your opponent. This deck is so fun and has many extremely powerful combos. It is good on ladder.
2. Control warrior with a Mill finish. Control the board until your opponent runs out of cards. No need to attack face, just slowly accumulate insane amounts of armor. Then mill them at the end with coldlight. Destroys freeze mage everytime.
3. Reno warlock. 4. Anyfin can happen Paladin.
Most of my favorite decks are no longer good to play or are unplayable now in standard so I didn't list them. Shaman is such a fun Character with so many different decks and awesome cards if you don't limit yourself to boring Midrange...

Weapon Based Priest is all you need in life
Stops your challenges with a knife
It's a deck that everyone should play
You should make it, try it today.

Battlecry: Give the OP two Bananas
Deathrattle: Replace the OP with Ragnaros the Firelord
Any reno deck, I feel every match is diferent and unpredictable.

spell control warrior featuring yogg and prince malchezzar.

"I wield the power of Blackwing."
Aggro Paladin. Fun to have the opponent mulligan for the long game, and bashing his face by turn 5.
Ramp Durid, I've been playing it since beta and still love it.
Probably a tie between Renolock, Reno Druid, and Anyfin Paladin.
all mage decks (Reno last favourite) all shaman decks
my fac deck to play against is always secret hunter
All time: Oil Rogue
Current: Renolock or anything that beats Shaman
