Kazu's on the money -
1) pirate warrior at the moment. For one my average game lasts 3.8 minutes and 6.6 turns and climbing the ladder requires lots of games played.
2) Because murloc midrange paladin is THE deck to beat, aggro druid and even some control decks have switched to teching in hungry crab instead of crawler
3) Deck does well against hunters which at crappier ranks helps since many F2P players are running toasts list.
4) New form of slower quest rogues are on the rise due to a few rank 1 legend quest rogues, I only lost to one rogue and that was because he completed the quest with glacial shard and naturally drew the second one by turn 4.
Worth mentioning I get absolutely decimated by mage and silence priest. Some shaman decks and some paladin decks are also my worst match ups.
Not sure how many games it takes in total to hit legend. I'm guessing ~300. While I'm a control player who misses justicar a ton, that's just not what I feel like climbing with. Current winrate is 58%, so pretty solid.
*Edit*
After 4 hours of grinding I'm rank 4. Pirate Warrior isn't possible to climb, almost everything I face is Mage. Switched to Aggro Shaman
