I wish Kripp would quit. He's such a whiner.
That said, I actually agree with him. Jade is a bad mechanic.

Some people already stated all the good reasons. I can say I enjoy playing aggro sometimes and playing against aggro even more often.
For me personally the reasons are simple - it's fast, it's funny in a way with it being proactive instead of reactive, it's cheap. Sometimes there's a goal I need to accomplish like right now with golden Hunter being 50 wins away - and believe me, even with fast decks it's a grind with Hunter nowadays. That being said, it seems like I always played less popular aggro. When Hunter was in its heyday I played Shaman, for example, but when playing Hunter I played a more control midrange variant of it. Right now when Shaman and Warrior are running rampant I'm trying with Hunter...
Another thing before I finish. It is surreal how many of you always talk about skill and brains and stuff. There is an element of skill involved, no question, but some of you act like aggro is an elementary school math whereas control and/or combo is a Ph.D in nuclear physics. My most played decks, on EU server at least, right now are Aggro Hunter and Freeze Mage (both in both Wild and in Standard). Frankly, it involves the same amount of decision making for me, and Freeze Mage actually gives me better results. If I talk about mindless I would rather talk about midrange where you simply play on curve, but it also has its nuances. When playing aggro you have to consider board clears, taunts, the amount of damage you can generate in a turn or few turns, you have to understand when to push face and when to trade etc. It's rather basic thinking, but so is a vast number of decks. Miracle Rogue, Freeze Mage and similar often mentioned high-skill decks are still a child's play when talking about the mental resources spent to play them. So, yes, I'm not saying Aggro Shaman is hard to play, but even hard-to-play isn't hard to play at all if you have at least an average IQ so stop with the bullsh#t.

Aggro is a lot of fun to play. It's fast, it frustrates people, and it wins. Headed for a loss? No problem, concede and on to the next mark. Don't hate the player (killer), hate the play.

"Why do people play that deck?"
Because they find control decks too slow and boring and can't effort to play 3-4 hours a day, 30 days a mounth to get legend, because they are no pro with a 60-70% winrate on rank 5 to legend?
Yes, I know a lot of people say "Control decks are boring? Are you nuts?! Aggro decks are boring, you always go face! I never played one of this aggro decks I hate on Rank 5 or higher, but I still know, they are brainless, because I loose against them with my geedy Timmy-deck!" - but which decks are interesting or boring is in my opinion a matter of taste. For some players aggro decks are boring - for some players control decks. None of them are objectively right or wrong. It's a matter of taste like some people like vanilla ice cream more and some people like chocolate ice cream more. But what is objectively wrong is that aggro decks needs no thinking on a higher rank. This missunderstanding comes only from people who never played these decks on this ranks.

I want MORE keywords! Something like "Lifelink" for example, which Burnbristle have.

How fix Pirat Warrior? Change Fiery Win Axe so it can't attack face - like Fool's Bane. Or let the Axe break, when you hit face with it, so you can't buff the the Axe 1-3 times for smorcing.

You can build your deck a bit slower and use Curator instead of Finja for more card draw. I am not sure, if you should play a really aggro murloc Pala without Finja.

You don't play HS for a long time, do yo? It seems you didn't play the game when the old Vanilla Miracle Rogue or pre-nerfed Undertaker-Hunter was around... THIS was cancer. Pirat Warrior is fine - the people are just to dumb to tech against it.

Then play 2 Crawler! Where is your problem?
If you facing a lot of deck X and you don't play cards against this deck, it's your own fault. o_O
