Token Druid wasn't really that viable an option in early Hearthstone. It was around, sure, but nowhere near the oppressiveness of its current version.
In any case, the point is not whether there was a good deck available for a class or not, it was the state of the class overall when looking at all viable deck options and formats compared to the others. Face Hunter might have been an A-Tier deck, but it was pretty much the only option for Hunter. So the lack of deck diversity meant the class overall was pretty bad in terms of choice, with a single viable option that was good.
Druid was garbage tier for most of the first couple of expansions of HS. Hunter wasn't that high up either tbh.
This guy clearly knows his sh*t.
Thank you. I do, yes. Not sure why you cherry-picked a couple of one-off exceptions to the rule as if they were some sort of "gotcha", but you do you. :-)

In fact, until the origin Spell Hunter and Odd Hunter decks came along, Hunter was mostly a one-trick pony of a class that was extremely easy to play around.
Putting aside whatever you think they are like now (personally, I believe there are much worse decks to play against right now: Implock, Miracle Pally, pretty much any Mage deck - secrets or frost, etc), they aren't dominant by any means and have definitely seen metas where they were left on the heap.
