If I could get more than 1 like, I will seriously make a guide for this :P
Edit: Thank you for the like random strangers, I guess I will start.
Edit 2: Oh wow, thanks for 15 likes guys! I appreciate it!
Edit 3: Thanks again for 30 likes guys!
Mulligan:
Always keeps any of these cards: Secretkeeper Autodefense Matrix Lesser Pearl Spellstone Crystology Benevolent Djinn or Bellringer Sentry.
Edit: Subject 9 is also good if you got it, great for card draws (Obviously)
Strategy:
This deck is quite good against some of the aggro or control decks. But this deck heavily relies on minions, the secrets is your only way to save them. Since this deck didn't have any removal spells, always make sure to trade wisely with your weapon or minions. If you have Secretkeeper on your early turn, you should go a little bit aggressive. If you got Crystology just play it on turn 2, and then play both Secretkeeper. It's doesn't really matter what deck you're against with, as long you focus on your minions and secret, you're fine. (I think) There also some weird interactions between Autodefense Matrix and Noble Sacrifice, sometimes one of them trigger first. I usually playRepentance on late game for any big minions play. Always buff your minion with Sound the Bells! and Spikeridged Steed for defenses. The healing synergy with Lesser Pearl Spellstone is quite good to be honest.
Update1: After crafting Lynessa Sunsorrow, this deck become quite good for now. It's still doesn't make my winrate better but it's still a slight improvement!
Upgrade:
So far, I didn't think there any suitable card to change, if you guys had any suggestion please tell me :P
Edit 1: Someone suggested me to change Eye for an Eye with Hidden Wisdom. So yeah I definitely recommend that. And also Lynessa Sunsorrow is a great addition for this deck. If you also have Zola the Gorgon, you can combo it with her too!
Edit 2: Tommy Wave decided to make a video for this deck, so check it guys!
Edit 3: Ok, there some changes I made which is: Azalina Soulthief Abomination Blessing of Wisdom and 2Cobalt Scalebane with Lesser Pearl Spellstone 2Truesilver Champion and 2Benevolent Djinn. I believe with these cards, this deck could counter some of the decks out there.
This is the first guide that I make (if you see any grammar mistake here and there so sorry about that), it's not really that informative but I hope you guys have fun playing this deck. But just don't expect it to be a good deck though. Have a nice day!
Well I have a 34% WR with this deck... could be me but we all know thats not the point ;)
But srsly, way too much aggro decks in ranked games. This one looks nice, but doesn´t work too good unfortunately.
What's the win condition. Stall aggro? Prevent combo?
I mean, how can you do 30 damage.
So far I got around 43% winrate after 15 matches or so.... this deck mostly counter Zoolock, Odd Paladin, Odd Rogue and some of the hunter deck. I'm still trying to improve this deck with a bunch of other possible synergies.
Welp, the straight answer is: Using your minions, believe it or not. All you need to do is buff it up and eventually, you will manage to deal 30 damages.
I can't really explain it well but here some of my replays:

Yeah, like that. Looks much better with those changes.
Prince Liam for the memes,
Hello! NajmiNabil
Looks like a solid Deck.
Question: If I put Lynessa Sunsorrow and Zola the Gorgon , what would you recommend to replace them with?
I recommend replacing it with Eye for an Eye, Lesser Pearl Spellstone, or Rebuke.
Really fine idea for a deck that definitely has some strong lines. Played a few games with the list, check them out;
(Games start at 5:31)
The main thing I found from these games is that the deck can really struggle to close things out. Would be great to find room for cards like Vinecleaver, Tirion, Lich King, etc. The Spellstone package also felt a little anemic, if our hand is going to be filled with low-impact secrets then it may be easier to have individually higher-impact cards instead (Tar Creeper, Amani Berzerker).
Cheers and thank you so much for trying something different! Always appreciate these kinds of decks <3
Thanks for reminding me that this archetype existed!
However, I've got some criticism regarding your list, hopefully constructive. Warning: long comment ahead:
The main problem I see is the aim of the deck. Secret paladin is meant to be an aggro deck (because of the nature of paladin secrets), but you are taking it in a control direction (spikeridged steed, aldor peacekeeper, djinn, spellstone). The problem with that is that it will not be able to perform optimally in any of those circumstances (aggro or control). Against aggro you might be able to perform well, but against control you wont be able to outvalue them, and you wont be able to kill them fast enough either.
Apart from that, there are some other questionable choices in my opinion:
Subject 9: it messes up your bellringer sentry, which is the card the deck revolves around. I might be wrong on this one though
Sound the Bells!: it's just a bad card, you don't get enough stats for the price
Rebuke: too situational
Eye for an Eye: the worst paladin secret by a long shot.
This is what secret paladin looked like during Witchwood, just so you have a reference. Although it was a tier 3 deck it still was a polished list:

With Boomsday there seems to be no consensus yet, but I found some different versions (normal, murloc and mech) that I think are in the right track:

In the writeup I wrote the stuff that should be tested
I think you can get to legend with this deck if you make the right changes (and your skill is on par ;) )
Thank you for your advice and taking your time to try deck this out mate, I'll try to keep that in mind. Cheers!
A lot of fun. I made my own version of this because I feel like even more card draw is needed.
Here's what I changed:
-1 Rebuke and -1 Sound the Bells! FOR +2 Loot Hoarder
-2 Repentance FOR +2 Hidden Wisdom
My reasoning for this is that more card draw is needed and I never get too much value out of Repentance. More often than not, it will target a 1-2 health minion.
You get a +1 from me! Very creative and I've been having a blast playing it. I guarantee with newer cards and secrets from future expansions, you could have your self a pretty competitive deck. Keep it up! This is one of my favorite custom decks I've played in a while.
Thank you mate! I think I'll also try that out and see how does it perform!
