Really great hunter deck - I knew it was destined for 12-wins at about 3-0. A lethal combination of mechs and buffing minions, getting early board dominance and snowballing from there. Very aggressive, with taunts keeping me safe in the late game as I went face.
Even if you just consider the Classic set, Lorewalker Cho has the same crappy statline, has a double-edged effect and is almost impossible to utilize strategically.
Cho is super-strong in Zoolock when played with only 2 spells in the deck.
I lose to the worst drafts which somehow got an answer of some kind to mine.
What is good and bad in arena has been evolving over the past few months. Blizzard wanted to get away from the "vanilla bodies" approach, and more towards class identity, synergies and thoughtful drafts.
Perhaps your idea of "worst drafts" needs to evolve as well? Personally, I've been averaging 5-6 wins in arena this expansion (best was only 11 so far), and am looking for synergies. I'm loving the new arena, because it's not the vanilla-body slugfest of old, or the stupid OP Silver Sword + aggro + Spikeridged Steed of 6 months ago.
First game was a loss... I knew it was an "OK" deck, and didn't expect to win the next 12 games at all! Interesting to note: was drafted post-nerf (yesterday), the high ranks were mostly paladin/priest and one druid (my experience this past week generally from 7-12), was offered a LOT more Silver Hand synergy at the beginning of the game, but didn't take them (was kicking myself).
Having played a LOT of arena so far in this expansion, I can say that I fear this sword. It just snowballs the board. I'm now trying to hold an ooze for this when I can. It looks pretty awful on paper - 8 mana for a so-so weapon. But on a full board, it's insane.
OK, I've added N'Zoth, Shadow Madness and Mass Dispel, and removed Zola, 1xPsychic Scream and 1x Shadow Visions (because I didn't have them). This seems to work pretty well for me, and my winrate is currently about 65%. I have amazing success against Dude Paladin, Warlocks and others - I manage to flip decks about 35% of the time (never against aggro).

Made legend for the first time this month. Spectacular win rate with Deathrattle Hunter. Over 80% from 5-Legend.

Something that can be hilarious when dropped from Piloted Shredder.

This deck is the most fun I've played in ages.
OK, I've added N'Zoth, Shadow Madness and Mass Dispel, and removed Zola, 1xPsychic Scream and 1x Shadow Visions (because I didn't have them).

Thanks a lot for an amazing deck.
