Edit 4 (April 30/16): This deck is no longer viable even in wild I don't think. You can check out this Hybrid Shaman deck I reached legend this season here: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/519760-hybrid-shaman-legend-70-winrate-from-rank-6-to
Edit 3 (Dec 27/15): I hit Legend pretty late this season, I was trying to reach legend with some weird decks that included Reno Jackson and Bronzebeard but I could only get to rank 3 with Dragon Paladin deck. I knew I could get Legend pretty easy with secret paladin since it's by far the best deck right now so that's why I challenge myself with fun decks. I lost 3 games in a row with my Dragon Paladin deck at rank 3 to 2 secret paladins and a control priest. It felt bad losing to those decks and I decided just to play secret paladin. I tried out Ostkaka's Secret Paladin with Ragnaros but I lost 2 games with it to aggro decks, there seemed to be no answers in the deck with no consecrate, no aldor, no BGH. I updated this deck and I went on a 14-0 win streak, lost 2 and then won 4 to legend. So I'm 18-2 with the updated deck.
I made a few changes to the deck, harrison jones, there's so many weapon classes, paladin, shaman, oil rogue, control/patron warrior and even Warlock with Lord Jaraxxus.
I cut Knife Juggler and added 2nd secret keeper, having the extra 1 drop against aggro decks helps a lot and secret keeper can get out of control quickly and forces opponent to waste removal on it.
Keeper of Uldaman, I think 1 is good enough. I had 2 in my Dragon Paladin deck but the problem was against aggro, you can't even play keeper of uldaman sometimes because you don't have a minion on the field and all opponent's minions are weaker than 3/3.
I put competitive spirit in instead of repentance, it can get good value and helps secret keeper grow too.
Everything else is the same in the deck, I will probably post a new video of how to play it. Here's deck tractor stats:
Edit 2: Check out my new Reno Secret Paladin deck I had 11 game win streak to top 100 Legend: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/376339-reno-secret-paladin-legend-top-100-11-game-win
Edit: I made a couple changes to the deck, -kezan, -juggler, +haunted creeper, +BGH. I think that would be better against popular aggro druid right now. I reached legend this season with a different version of secret paladin I made, check it out here: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/366288-deathrattle-redemption-secret-paladin-legend-66-7
Hey guys, here is my version of Secret paladin I reached Legend this season. From Rank 4 I went 25-9 in 5 hour session (73.5% win rate). This list has a few different cards, one is kezan. Kezan is a tech card, so only play it if you are playing against a lot of hunters and mages. I just put it in because i was facing a lot of hunters and stealing their secret is usually an autowin. I've been seeing a lot of freeze mage too, stealing their ice block right before you finish them makes an easy win, also really good against tempo mage and okay against secret Paladin. I added Sludge Belcher to help protect hero and other minions, maybe even 2nd belcher is good, I like the card. Just 1 true silver since we already have lots of weapons.
Edit: From the session I played today, I got 10 game win streak from 1000+ legend down to 116 Legend (I lost some ranks experimenting with a midrange paladin that didn't work out). I managed to hit Legend 50 with -repentance +murloc knight.
Just 1 juggler, he is pretty weak on it's own, pretty weak against warrior and tempo mage. Knife Juggler is a lot better than I thought so I put 2nd on in instead of competitive spirit, probably the weakest secret behind eye for eye. Repentance is actually good sometimes if you use it at the right time or if you get it from mysterious challenger. 1 secret keeper, 2 is probably too much and 1 is good, plus a lot of time just play avenge on turn 1, noble sac or redemption in some cases. 2 aldor in this deck, they are really good and not as situational as BGH, some lists run 0 of them but I think they are a must with a lot of big minions opponents play and often opponents make greedy plays so aldor and board control=gg. Aldor just wrecks Fel reaver too.
If I get 20 thumbs up I will write a more detailed guide and what to mulligan for. (Ok, reached 20 upvotes, thanks for everyone voting on it!)
Here is a pretty long video I made that I talk about the deck and I go over some of the games I played. Sorry the video lagged a bit in parts when I was recording:
Here are the final 3 games I hit Legend:
Hearthpwn user Khristophesaurus did a spotlight video of my deck, check it out:
Mulligen:
- Only keep 1 weapon, most likely muster because it is very good
- Only keep a secret if you suspect you are facing an aggro matchup and only keep maximum 1 secret and usually only keep noble sacrifice and never keep a secret if you have secret keeper
- It's questionable to keep Mysterious Challenger or not. I would keep it if I'm facing warrior or priest, any slow class or if I have the coin and already have turn 1/2 plays.
Always Keep:
- 1x Muster, haunted creeper, secret keeper, x2 shielded minibot, almost always knife juggler
Maybe keep:
- Consecration if suspect you are facing aggro and only keep it if you already have turn 1 and turn 2 play.
- coghammer only if you have 1 or 2 drop minion already and no muster for battle
- Aldor peace keeper if you already have turn 1/2 plays and if you don't have muster for battle
Druid - Aldor peacekeeper incase opponent innovates something big out,
Hunter - Kezan, noble sacrifice if no other turn 1 play, owl to silence mad scientist
Mage - Kezan, 1x noble sacrifice if no other turn 1 play, owl to silence mad scientist
Paladin - Kezan,
Rogue - I like keeping Loatheb even without coin,
Warrior - owl to silence acolyte of pain,
Warlock - Aldor for giants, owl for twilight drake or void caller,
Shaman - Probably good to keep consecration
Priest - Owl to silence minion with velen's chosen or power word shield, knife juggler is good against cleric
Just for reference, I used the kezan version which was an mvp for me even against mirror matches.
@Bno04 Ok cool
May I ask why you like keep Aldor Peacekeeper against Druid, and Ironbeak Owl against Warrior?
Ysera and Sylvanas are a bit too late-game to take an owl from mulligan, don't you agree? Plus, I think silencing a fel reaver is the last thing you want to do..EDIT : Woops! Never mind, misread what you said. Sorry!
Well no one talked about silencing Fel Reaver but keeping Aldor Peacekeeper for him
I misread his comment, lol. Woopsies
For Druid, they can innovate something out like druid of the claw or sometimes even dr.boom on turn 2 so that's why I keep aldor vs druid. I keep the owl vs. warrior to silence acolyte of pain, I don't want them to draw but since patron has been nerfed, keeping the owl is less good.
@pfffffftboring You're welcome! If you're facing a lot of hunters and mages, I'd definitely play Kezan. I still see patron sometimes, I guess it's not as strong now.

Hate playing decks with zero card draw, but I guess all the cards can hold on their own?
I never really ran out of cards and if I did then I usually won by then. You can try replacing sludge or 1x aldor peace keeper with divine favor. I played another version of secret paladin with lay on hands but I'm not sure if it's good enough yet.
Is Tirion Fordring replaceble?
Not really, you can try Sludge belcher as a replacement or you can try a more aggressive secret pala with divine favor
Tirion is a staple card in all paladin decks and one of the best class legendary.
@akasumi Yep, I think Tirion might be the best legendary card in the game, it's hard to deal with, can't be BGH'd and really strong deathrattle.
First time legend after multiple rank 2 seasons. Thanks to your deck and guide I went 20-7(74% winrate) from rank 2 and can finally relax this season! Thanks again DavidBergeron!!!
@Bno04 You're welcome! Congrats on Legend! The first season I tried to reach legend I only made it to rank 2, it's pretty tough to get to Legend.
