Eater of Secrets is Kezan Mystic replacement, and it's better. Good tech card for Paladin, Mage and Hunter punishment.
Better against Secret Paladin, but definitely worse against Mage and Hunter.
No, it's still good. It's 3/5 even when played against 1 secret. So it gives you a good tempo swing anyway. Only bad against not-secret classes, but it's how tech cards work.
This card is very, very bad. With Avenge leaving along with many paladin cards, secret paladin will not be very good. Hunters are not very good as of now, and you can't play this one card for freeze mage
Secret Pally was already dead in Standard even before this card and not many people rank up with Freeze Mage so at this point the card is meh. It would have been great 5 months ago.
Shocked by all the negativity around this card. In Wild, this will see play, most likely as one-off tech card.
In Standard, this opens up space for fun new secrets and the means to cheat them into play without breaking the game.
Sure, we won't be building decks around this, but it's a really, really good piece of tech.
IMO, currently the only healthy way to cheat secrets into play is with Kirin Tor Mage. The free draw(s) from mad scientist and Mysterious Challenger is what makes them OP. Adding anything along the lines of the of MS or MC would make me pretty mad.
Rip Big Game Hunter tech (due to the inevitable nerf with it being high on the list of cards for nerfing according to Blizzard), welcome Eater of Secrets tech! I don't think we'll see someone play double of this card. More than 1 and you would be teching too hard against secret decks.

Kezan is better against Freeze Mage / Hunter in wild IMO. Even against paladin it doesn't deal with why secret paladin is a good deck. Its not that great of a card you guys are getting way too over hyped and not understanding the environment of the game once Standard hits.
You can't run 2 tech cards with same purpose. So it's Eater because Kezan is weak against paladin.
Kinda sad that this will make Freeze Mage (one of the best / thoughtfull decks in my opinion) disappear as well, just because they needed to make a card to compensate for Mysterious Challenger being op as fuck...
As much as I hate secret eboladin and would like to see it gone, this card will be just a vanilla 2/4 in standard mode, unless the remaining unreleased cards help the rise of another secret-based deck. Paladin's early game is already heavily damaged (plus the loss of avenge), and both Hunter and Mage suffer the loss of Mad Scientist, and will probably see less play.
Also, still no sign of any defensive cards to replace GvG/Naxx.

Anyone would have already quit this game with my unluck.
actually this card is pretty useless,coz the thing is no one is gonna play secret paladin in standard mode anyway,no avenge no secret pali you catch my drift
In all seriousness though, this card hurts the Secrets meta quite badly imo. Even a 3/5 to gobble up a 1/2/3-mana secret is pretty good for a 4-mana minion.
Taking into account that Mad Scientist's effect is gone (without any other news), it's going to be much harder to summon these secrets out from your deck. This card will either make the meta more volatile or just disrupt the secrets meta completely. :<

Mysterious Challenger : "Who am I? None of your business!"
Eater of Secrets: "Oh, I believe it is. You see, you are now my bitch!"
Nice card.
Ouch, this card is BRUTAL.

Freeze mage was expected to be strong in the new standard, glad Eater of Secrets is a card.
