New Secret Synergy
With cards like Desperate Measures, Sunreaver Spy, Mysterious Blade and our main girl Commander Rhyssa the archetype got revamped and will most likely be able to dominate as a great aggro deck in the new meta!
The Idea is to be as aggressive as possible and utilize secrets to their advantage and keep your minions alive. Having some of the best 1 and 2 drop minions in the game definitely doesn't hurt. Secretkeeper as well as Sunreaver Spy make this deck.
Mulligans
As secret paladin, you will need to mulligan specifically for Secretkeeper, Sunreaver Spy as well as a secret or Desperate Measures Commander Rhyssa is also a keeper if you happen to have her.
Edit: Added Leeroy since the deck needs to be aggressive
Edit 2: Removed Liam and added Call to adventure as well as a blessing of wisdom for consistency's sake. Card draw is really important
EDIT 3: Added Azalina Soulthief for some extra hand refuel
I will update the guide when changes come, In the meantime feel free to hit that +1 button if you enjoyed :D thank you for helping out!

Blizzard is trying. At least it sure seems that way.
Looks good! Without the use of Divine Favor or Call to Arms I agree with the route that you took in a more aggressive approach. This expansion looks to have a lot of mid-end game value so aggro decks can really punish them. Because of this, I would add Leeroy Jenkins instead of Subject 9. Hunter can usually get away with playing Subject 9 because their secrets are still good on an empty board whereas Paladin secrets are better on a full board. You would just lose too much tempo playing Subject 9 that your board can be wiped before you get a chance to play your secrets next turn. I would also suggest cutting Desperate Measures for a couple of minions such as Dread Corsair (he will cost 0 or 1 most times). Desperate Measures is a bit inconsistent because in the early turns of the game you want to lay specific secrets that directly impact the board state and not waste a valuable turn getting Eye for an Eye.
Overall, solid deck and can't wait to see it in action! :)
subject 9 also works against liam, turning either legendary into a dead card.
Yep, exactly! I think Liam is fine, but definitely shouldn't have both since they work against each other.
Aight I do agree. Imma switch that over :D
Not entirely, Subject 9 only takes one copy of each secret. In any case they both serve the same purpose, which is to give the deck a second breath if you don't manage to kill your opponent by turn 5. If Prince Liam already transformed your secrets in legendary minions and you draw Subject 9, it is still a 4/4 minion.
On paper, the deck's main issue is its lack of draw / late game, IMO you need both. We'll know for sure in a few hours...
I'm so excited to run Flare in Zul'jin Hunter now
deck runs out of gas way too early, no divine favor is the biggest loss
That is true! I don't know how to fix that issue tho ..
Maybe Subject 9 is an option. It's tough to say. Aggro Paladin w/o Divine Favor is a tough hurdle to overcome.
you know what? Subject 9 Does sound pretty tasty
I Think Cult Master could be good to get some draws.
to fix the issue is to get a acolyte of pain with never surrender in play.
All the secret decks I've seen so far, this one included, seem too spell heavy. Too great a chance of hands with no minions.
many minions and secrets, you welcome
I actually made my own Secrets & Dragons deck.

I like the list but I would cut both Desperate measures, as they can't be pulled by Bellringer or Masked Contender and replace them with 1x Noble Sacrifice and 1x Argent Squire.
