I know who you are.
Started playing this in control mage. Is good against sceret hunter,pally, freeze mage(never beaten one without this guy) and is good as secrets contantly pop out of spellsinger for my oponent. Thank you eater of secrets for eating those iceblocks.
Not really. Wild still exists...
sleek art
With yogg-saron being around, classes that normally do not have secrets could have secrets.
Making this card more useful.
Nom Nom Nom!! Secret Yum!
Dust off your copies of this card. If Secret decks become popular after ONiK, he may see constructed play!
secret hunter become popular just days after you said this
Funny, only now it hit me, that his play sound "I know who you are" is a response to MCs "Who am I? None of your business"
My dream is to play is this card right after a Paladin summons Mysterious Challenger. The amount they would probably rage makes me laugh, and want to use this card.
Just did this on a 4 secret MC. Try it in wild. It gave me a 6-8 and was just beyond satisfying.
"Who am I? None of your business!" "I know who you are."
Let's say this card will be more popular if it's gain 1/2 or 2/1 for each(secret), without making it OP
It actually has its best value in Wild, against Secret Paladin. In standard it's only a tech card against Freeze mage
I teched it as a 1-off in my Wild Control Priest. In the last hour it was responsible for three wins in Ranked. Two against Secret Pala and one against the before nearly unwinnable Freeze Mage. I'm sad this card doesn't see more play.
I'm seeing this everywhere in Arena. Had about 2-3 of my secrets eaten as a Mage in about 5 matches. Feels quite bad.
I just realized why he says "I know who you are." Mysterious Challenger says "Who am I? None of your business."
That doesn't make it meta defining to ruin secret pala and Freeze mage. That makes it a tech card. Like BGH, or Mind Control Tech, or even Cyclopian Horror. You include this just to mess with one specific type of deck that gives you trouble. That doesn't make it meta defining.
And what's so wrong with Standard?
This card isn't meta-defining at all. The shift to Standard is 110% what "killed" Secret Pallies and Freeze Mage (only in Standard; guess what, on the Wild ladder you still see A METRIC SHIT TON of them at high ranks). Losing access to their best secret in Revenge and a whole crap ton of board controlling cards kicked Secret Paladin so far down the ladder, it might never recover (never say never, Patron sure recovered from the Warsong nerf). Freeze Mage lost a guaranteed 100% access to its' first Ice Block that could be played on the first 2-3 turns (IE dead turns where they have next to nothing to do if you don't play a minion or need board control yourself), and Ice Block is absolutely the most important card in Freeze Mage (you could/can still kill people without Alex by having a good turn with Antonidas or running Malygos). Eater is a niche tech card that nobody is running because they don't need to. Lo and behold, if you play Wild, Eater isn't a bad tech choice, but it still isn't enough to stop both of those decks from being played a lot (may change in the future, new decks could also drive them out).
I so agree. I tired standard for 10 days- got to rank 8 with my priest and was so bored of having no good board clears and being outskilled (lol) by aggro shaman after shaman etc that I went wild. WAY better. If I draw my lightbomb in wild I can win vs secret pali and shaman and the game feels fairer than standard.
