I've never played casual, so I'm only guessing. I assume it's for people who are trying to climb with just one deck and want to complete quests while not jeopardizing their ranking.
You are literally arguing against yourself here. You are arbitrarily choosing to make Jaraxxus better and Sacrificial Pact worse for no reason other than that you like one more than the other.
Oh please, of course Jaraxxus is better than Sacrificial Pact. He's a classic class legendary who has been a staple in many decks, he's the eredar lord of the burning legion, and he gave us one of the most viewed meme videos on HS history.
Go ahead and argue that sac pact should kill Jaraxxus, but don't argue that there isn't a clear, wide gulf between the two cards in terms of quality, flavor, and history. If we have to choose between these two cards, the decision is beyond clear.
Lots of people hating on Jaraxxus. I've got him in a Glinda/lackey deck, and he's great against control Warrior. Since CW is almost entirely about removal, the infinite parade of 6/6 infernos eventually exhausts the CW's options. And CW has no burst, so the 15 health is okay.
Anyway, yes, this sacrificial pact interaction should go.
It's a fun deck. I pull the sprayers with Juicy Psychmelon though, so the "buff" to the sprayers is actually a big nerf to me. I will have to replace the melon with some other kind of card draw, since there are no good 8 cost beasts for me to run.
That said, it's crazy to want dust for this. We've waited years for Blizzard to buff cards. We've all had legendaries that were a small buff away from being awesome. I always assumed that those buffs didn't happen for economic reasons. That these buffs are finally happening far outweighs the cost to my ramp beast Druid deck.
Instead of whining, we should rejoice and hope this is a new trend.
I have him in mine, but it's mostly for fun. If you get him in the beastmaster combo, he's a board full of 3/3's for 8 mana. Pretty good, but not spectacular. If you don't get him in the combo, he's a bunch of 1/1's.
If you want the board full of 8/8's you have to commit all the way to a hand buff deck.

Arena for strategy. Standard for quests and for fun. I don't ever play wild, but I don't have a good reason.

Seems very strong to me. You can buff it before you play it, so it's hard to remove. There's a lot of strong support for taunt Warrior.

Well, yeah. I don't think I'd drop that combo onto an empty board!

Count my vote towards this being far better than Spectral Cutlass.

I haven't seen anyone mention the Convincing Infiltrator synergy yet. Double removal for 8 mana with a 2/6 taunt and a 3/3.

My Big Warrior deck needs early game minion generators; this might fit there.

I like stealth and sticky for my windfury shaman.

I'm getting full dust refund for this Velen nerf, right?

Might as well add Shirvallah, since you have so many big spells.

I run Gloop Sprayer in this beast deck

I've been playing a version of this for a few weeks. It's fun. Since you have the Elekks, I recommend Portal Keeper.
