Hi Hearthpwn,
So i did work on this secret paladin deck for a while, even we all know they all are almost the same, but i managed to get from rank 5 to legend with a 83 % Winrate and was legend after 5 hours. So i wanted to share it with you. And if you got any questions and can't wait for the guide, you are welcome to add me: swaglius#2168
Update: So i see many of you guys want the prove for my winrate. But problem is that i didn't have decktracker on this computer while i did get to legend. But i have just downloaded it and will go ranked on legend to show you how far i go with it. Gameplay will also be included, so hang on.

Guide
Basic Mulligan Guide
Look for a minibot, creeper, avenge, muster, juggler and for aggro decks keep alder peacekeeper.
Avenge: Always keep
Competitive spirit: Dont keep unless something crazy. like turn 1 comp spirit then turn 2 muster. Actually dont even recommend to keep it unless many secrets + secret keeper in starting hand.
Noble Sacrifice: Keep only if face hunter or mech mage. Basically keep if aggro deck otherwise no.
Knife Juggler: Keep
Shielded MiniBot: ALWAYS KEEP
Muster for battle: keep with coin or a good two drop
Aldor PeaceKeeper: Keep if you face against hunters + face shamans
True Silver: Keep with coin and a good curve like 1, 2 and 3 drop
Shredder: Keep depending on curve and coin
Sludge Belcher: NEVER KEEP unless hunter, then sometimes it is a good idea.
Mysterious Challenger: NEVER KEEP it is for lategame
Tirion: NEVER KEEP it is for lategame
Blessing of Kings: keep depending on curve
Haunted Creeper: Keep
Cog Hammer: Keep depending on curve
Match Ups
Generally anything that is aggro/tempo/midrange you should have the upper hand on with a decent mulligan.
Match ups in your favour are: Face Hunter, MidRanged Hunter, TempoMage, Aggro shamans.
Worst match ups: Grim Patron, other palladins and priests
Replacements
Tirion = Ragnaros
Aldor peacekeeper = keeper of uldaman
Why aldor peacekeeper instead of keeper of uldaman?
Personally i like alder peacekeeper more then alderman, because if you are behind or want to keep the pressure it is better to give opponent's minion 1 attack instead of giving it a 3/3. Yes i do indeed that the keeper of uldaman is better for removing the large minions or even using it on your own minions for pressure and that is why you can choose what you want, but personally for me peacekeeper is better.
Replacement for TIrion I don't have Rag
Wisp
Wow thank you so much I have golden priest and was struggling. So far I have gone from Rank 16 to 11 without a single loss yet!!!!! THANKS
you welcome my friend. Cheers
update I had to quit playing because the wife was coming home, I finally lost to murloc paladin
I like the deck but what sucks is that sometimes i loose my win streak.
Replacement for Mysterious Challenger? Kappa.
Illuminator Keepo
Deathlord would be a good substitute
I was curious what people think about Redemption. I know, it could have nice value, but in most cases it finishes with resurected Defender. Do you have any tips for newbie cancer player? :P
Would you be willing to coach a guy aiming to hit legend for the first time? I never passed rank 11, at least not since the naxx days. I completed the collection, i have all the cards, i been playing for so long but could never been assed to grind the ranks and the game is so different and new decks keep popping up, I want to aim for it this season and if you're willing, a bit of help would be appreciated.
I used this kind of deck since november to grind legend (altough I dont like that much pal, you have to admit that it's maybe the most efficient deck to climb)
Just a few things to add:
Sir Finley is imo a better choice thant repentance, it's more versatile and im not a fan of defensive cards wich his against the spirit of the deck
Same things for aldor, keeper of uldaman are much more versatile, can be used as a defensive option (if u really dont have the choice), but also in offense and to make efficient trade.
Also on the mulligan guide, I dont agree with the fact that you dont have to keep MC in your starting hand. I mean many many many times the fact that u have MC (or not) on turn6 is what define if u win or loose the game. Also this deck has so many good 1,2,3,4 drops that you can afford to take the risk to keep it in hand (except maybe agaisnt face hunter and face shaman and im not even sure)
I made Legend back in the beta (when they actually bothered to introduce ranks...before that it was something like Diamond) but sadly there was no card back then. So I thought, 'meh, I did it once...I'll get round to it.'
I had some near misses. I punted some 8 months ago on a win and in to legend, hit a loss streak and never recovered. Had plenty of months where I just didn't have the time to play much etc.
This month I started Jan 1st and got down to rank 5 by the 15th. Honestly, the desire to play wasn't there...I played when I could be bothered. I floated around for an entire week, pretty much going win, loss, win, loss, win win, loss loss etc. I kept switching decks, made some progress then fell back. Got to the 29th and had ran up to Rank 1 with Dragon Priest, only to fall all the way back to the bottom of rank 4. I thought screw this.
I got a decent night's sleep and decided to start practicing for February season. Found this deck and thought, yeah, why not. Probably the best deck to play. I'll just get some practice in, see how it feels. I won 10 games in a row. Then another 3 after a break for food. I still didn't want to get carried away, I kept joking that I'd get a corrective downswing. I even had a lie in on the 31st and played other games rather than taking it seriously.
The downswing never came. I hit legend 45 minutes before the end of the season. I probably won 80% of my games with the deck (Sample size of 30ish games I guess? I didn't track).
This deck is that good. I tried other secret pally decks and I thought some of the choices were odd i.e. no Consecration, only 1 5 drop (which isn't Loatheb) no Ulda...but truthfully, they're cards that lose you tempo a lot of the time, or are just too low impact. This list felt perfect for this season. Well built.
"well said"
WELL MET* ftfy
After 10 winstreak 1 loose.
WTF I thought whis deck is unbeatable!
Gone 17-6 since 2 hours. This deck is terrible...
Hey man! Its very good deck. But i loose to hunters, aggroShams or mirrors, sometimes. Rank 9 to 5 in 1,5-2 hours. Like! :))
I am happy you like my deck. Add me and i will coach you how to win against them
