Who Am I? I'm Spider-Man
It's so funny that secret Paladin will be dead in standard. This card may still be around, but no Minibot, Muster, Shredder, Belcher, Loatheb, Coghammer, Avenge, Haunted Creeper, Dr. Boom, etc. Man if there was a date for standard announced would it be on my calendar. I'm smiling just thinking about it, wouldn't be the slightest bit upset to never see Uther's face again.
I Kind of want to see a Ben Brode Video on the thoughts behind the design of this Card. Maybe we would get somethink like the "New Players just don't know how good that is" Statement again. The best Thing about the new playmodes might very well be that a lot of BS Paladin Cards will be gone and maybe the whole Deck won't work as good without avenge in it.
It all makes sense
For 6 mana this card:
Summons a 6/6
Summons a 2/1 with taunt and effectively spell immune
Summons another 2/1
Give a minion +3/2
Give all minion +1/1 next turn
Reduce opponent next minion health to 1
Seems really balanced to me.
Even more perfectly balanced than Dr. Boom
Also makes your deck 4 cards smaller so you can topdeck Dr 7, Dr 8 and other Dr 6 easier. I think its most balanced card in the game. EleGiggle
i battled my friend on a online game once he was undefeated before and would brag about how skillful he was. even i couldnt beat him at his own little game until a mysterious challenger appeared. he said ohhh you gonna get it now and so he battled the challenger and lost the match. i thought wow grandma these are some of the best cookies you ever baked. she smiled and said that the secret was in the beans
PLZ! Nerf this card!!
Avenge? I dont know why they put Avenge even. It allows him to get BGHed. Avenge is probably the most unnoticable loss.
You have 2 Challenger's and most decks are only running one BGH, which then won't be able to take out your Boom
Who is he?
Nerf plz!
Blizzard, get your head out of your ass and change this. First off I've said it before but this guys should be legendary, why he can be a "guaranteed draw" as a two-of i don't know what they were thinking. Another horrible thing about this guy is now you cant design any halfway decent secrets for paladin on future expansions without blowing this guys power level through the roof. There are currently 2 ways to directly deal with secrets (help me out guys if there's more) and only one of those options is neutral and still may not be enough. Im not one to bitch about op cards but when there is a meta changing secret archetype but no new interesting ways to handle secrets its annoying. Why should they get to mindlessly drop a 6/6 for 6 and filter 5 cards out of their deck, and im spending my whole next turn working out the math and the sequence of events. Ive never complained about a deck because ive never felt cheated before, Secret Paladin just feels dirty im sorry.
They really need to make a counter for this card!
Just another reason why people shouldn't call out cards before they are released. Compare the comments on the first page to now and you realise how we can't predict things. Every single streamer said this card straight up sucked and will never see play, but turns out they were wrong. Lesson: Never review cards pre-emptively and trust streamers thinking they know hearthstone. Most of them (with the exception of few such as reynad) can't think outside the box and just play net decks, while everyone else thinks they're gods of the game.
