Rexxar has the strongest hero power, infinite value!
He maybe the strongest in Standard but in Wild infinite value have much less impact because aggro is insanely fast and have tons and tons of combos, infinite value is a control killer.
Easily Rexxar. This is in relation to how he compliments the class. He fits in almost any kind of deck. Played as 6 mana 2 to enemy minions gain 5 armor is decent especially on curve then the ability to 2: craft a card is priceless for Hunter. He also wins out by being easily the most fun out of any, and has a replay value that increases every expansion since 5 mana or less beasts will always be released.
Rexxar definitely wins for just fitting into any deck (except odd hunter I guess). Guldan is pretty good but Zoolock wouldn't run him. I really enjoy Uther even if he's one of the weaker DKs, an instant 10 heal and 5 damage removal x3, and potential win condition! His only drawback is the win condition is pretty tough to pull off, and once his weapon breaks he's really just "spend 2 mana for a 2/2" while other DK's have longer lasting value.
There was a day when Razakus Priest was unstoppable... just machine gun everything down. Not anymore so much but at the time... it was (note was) the strongest death knight.
Jaina is likely the best standalone death knight, but admittedly anyone using a death knight to begin with will usually build their deck with it in mind.
If properly built around, Gul'dan gets my vote for number 1. The hero power is underwhelming for the 10 mana it takes to obtain it, but a full board of voidlords is too powerful to overlook. Additionally, people are using expired merchant to get more copies per game.
The other particularly strong one that comes to mind is Malfurion. He's not the most flashy, but he's efficient at everything he does, and his skillset goes well with what most druids want to do. 7 mana for 2/10 taunt stats isn't great, but it's usually enough to stall aggro for another turn, and the 3 armor per turn afterwards more than makes up for it. Control druids would probably still function without him, but he just pushes them over the edge vs aggro, functioning almost like a third copy of spreading plague.
Rexxar looks powerful on the surface, but his main problem is that he's a hunter card. Highlander hunter isn't in a great spot in wild right now, and there aren't really any other hunter decks that would want the attrition he offers over another aggro piece. In a more control-oriented class he would've been amazing, but his design goes directly against what most hunter decks want to do these days.
In wild, who are your top 3 deathknights that are strongest??
Guldan. The card is in every Control Warrior Deck ever and single handedly makes the archetype viable.
Guldan is Warlock and yes it is the strongest because it cost the most and have an OP Hero Power
Vote for my Card Design Submission! I love this one!
Gul'dan by far.

In response to hillandder, there are plenty of control decks in wild too for Rexxar to pray on. I would know, I'm high legend with a hunter deck :)
And responding to PsychicSpade, I have to disagree that highlander hunter isn't in a great spot, check out my deck for reference.
