RIP Freeze Mage, Secret Hunter (if this ever became a thing) and Secret pally.
This card is actually worse against Freeze Mage than Kezan Mystic is. So Kezan leaving the meta and this entering is actually a buff for Freeze Mage.
I have seen some secret heavy mages run Kezan just so they can snatch stolen secrets back, I like this better because it removes them from play entirely. meaning secret mages probably won't be including this card.
kind of want secret counters to be part of the basic set like weapon removal is
I've seen a Mage run Kezan Mystic maybe twice in over 3000 games played. I'm not especially concerned about that situation. I agree that this is unlikely to see play by Mage decks.
Of course the game needs counters to Secrets as well as other forms of specific tech, I just don't think this one will see much play in Standard.
DESTROYER OF SECRETS
Dammit this is the only counter to my secret mage deck :(.
PS: I am totally gonna play 2x of this and 2x kezan mystic in wild.
PPS: I am considering a hunter deck with 2x flares also.
"NO MORE X-MAS!!!"
People are shouting this is the end of freeze mage, and I simply do not buy it. Kezan Mystic was far more deadly to freeze mage and it never stopped her. That said, I am really glad this card exists because it pretty much puts the kabosh on secret paladins, which is fantastic because that was the main thing holding me back from wild mode.
I am also just a fan of this card because it discourages playing multiple secrets, dealing with more than one secret at a time was always an unfun thing to face and now people have to be careful and not get greedy.
THANK YOU BLIZZARD!!!!!!
This is simply AWESOME! It destroys not one, not two, but ALL SECRETS!
RIP Secret Pally
Couldn't be any happier with this card.
Thank you, Blizzard.
And FUCK YOU secret pally.
i know its funny for rank 25s to make the "trimming to xmas tree" jokes but in reality this is far more effective teching against freeze mage, secret paladins worst matchup, in fact this card will make freeze mage cry more than any other deck in the game, its just a better kezan mystic more or less, and destroying a ice block is MUCH more useful than destroying a noble sac
Secret paladin players :
- Who am I?
- Chomp!
Guys, remember Lil' Exorcist? No? I didn't think so. Tech cards require near ubiquitous presence before they see use (see: BGH). Card might see some play in Wild in Reno decks, but yeah this is gonna kill Secret Pallies like Lil' Exorcist killed Undertaker Hunter.
Exorcist is a bad example because you don't gain any other value beyond the 1/1. Kezan steals a secret and this destroys all secrets while buffing itself.
With Lil' Exorcist, regardless of however many Deathrattle minions the enemy had and how big Exorcist becomes, they're still alive.
Eater of Secrets destroys the Secrets in addition to gaining lots of stats.
Can someone please make a Cookie Monster gif with his face on it?
