Is Lord Barov one of the best heroes -- no. But I might seriously pick him over the likes of Nozdormu, Daryl and Kaelthas Sunstrider.
Reason? Those heroes don't have much snowball potential, and Lord Barov has snowball potential, which is something I want in a hero.
Two of the times I have played him, I won several bets in a row having "coin issues" where I was fighting the turn timer. Most recent was a blowout #1 win getting to Tier 5 very early.
The other time, I don't think I was able to use his hero power much due to lack of token units and/or Deck Swabbies, so perhaps he is better if Pirates are in the mix and also Beasts/Murlocs.
Lord Barov is not that bad.

With Lord Barov, why not aggressively level up and bet on your opponent each round helping accumulate gold for the next tier?
