I'm sure the majority of people who complain about netdecks that they feel aren't fun to play against and/or are overpowered. I wanted to ask your opinion on the opposite(for decks that aren't fun to play against), what decks do you find the most fun to play against?
I'll always enjoy a good game against Paladin, regardless of the deck. I also enjoy playing Mage, any Warlock deck minus Zoo, and probably Hunters prior to the new Naxx decks. Rogue of any kind is fun (yes, even miracle). Druids that don't rely on the Tree-Ants/Savage Roar OTK are fun to play as well.
Hate playing Priests and control Warrior. Especially hate playing Shaman (worst matchup for Paladin IMO).
Zoo decks are my least favourite to play against. I win about 75%, but even winning against them is stressful because I'm always down to 10-15 health when I do. I like playing against decks with creative strategies and combos. even if I lose I always respect good card comboing

zoo decks have combos. Step 1. look at cards. Step 2. look at mana. Step 3. YOLO empty hand. Thats a combo right

Or by people making a pretty obvious joke but whatever. carry on
I enjoy playing Mage, Paladin and Rogue because I rarely see them on ladder. Most players Mage/Pally/Rogue I met often play interesting decks.
I hate playing Priest the most. Whenever I'm up against Priest, I know it's gonna be a long tiring game no mater who wins.
I used to hate playing against priest until I watched Zetalot streaming and gave it a try myself. Even though I don't play priest too much I still enjoy the games now as I feel I understand it more.
Handlock is always fun. I've had fun games where I've healed the lock to keep his life from dipping enough for the double molten giant + defender combo. It's a pretty good game of cat and mouse, waiting for a large lethal swing to take them down from 15 or so.
In general, I respect original decks more than any others. If they play a surprising card like Cult Master, I suddenly have gotten much more enjoyment out of the match. But for the archetypical decks, these are my favorite to play against:
Freeze Mage - I have played this deck a LOT, so I enjoy playing against it more than I imagine most do. For me the game is not solitaire because I know how to interact with my opponent in meaningful ways.
Control Warrior - I find all of the answers that this deck has very interesting to play against. Does my opponent have Execute? Or maybe Shield Slam? Should I kill their Unstable Ghoul to prevent card draw off Acolyte of Pain? In general I find this match very fun.
Secrets Hunter - When the opponent has secrets, I am having more fun. I have to put more thought into my actions. Also, I liked having the massive risk/reward of committing to board when they might have the unleash combo. Do I want to proc a secret now, or risk giving a bow charge? When this deck was popular, I ran a druid mill deck that consistently won in this matchup, which was new and interesting, although a bit annoying since the games took so long. All around pretty fun deck to play against, and I will miss it's presence.
Honorable mention - Handlock - Handlock is cool. I like how many choices it has every turn. And I like that there are so many slight variations of it. The thing that I don't like is how easily it can go off. If they land a giant early and I don't have answers, I just lose. If they have Leeroy Jenkins combo, I (pretty much) just lose. The resource management involved in these games is very fun though, since they spend their health like a resource, it makes things more interesting.
The decks that I don't like playing against are ones like Murloc or Shockadin, that win by coin tosses instead of many well thought out plays. On their end I respect that each decision takes lots of thought, because it must be played perfectly, but on my end it's pretty boring. I try to kill Murloc as fast as possible, and if I don't have answers, I lose. Not fun.

I like to play against "Control Players" even if they Netdeck.
...Too young to die, too drunk to live...
I enjoy playing against Shaman, Zoolock, Hunter, Priest.
I hate fighting against Control Warrior the most, by a lot.

If you aren't playing Paladin, you're doing it wrong.

My absolute favorite match up is Handlock mirror. The way the board can swing so dramatically just catches my interest like no other match can.
In just general play, I seem to prefer playing more control oriented matches. Except against Priest. I hate Priests :)
