Did anyone else expect a Secret Keeper to get buffed by a Masked Contender when played?
Both use the keywords played, Secret Keeper does not specify that it is only buffed by secrets played from the hand, and Masked contender plays a secret from your deck.
Same, looks like Blizzard completely threw card text consistency out of the window with this one. By all accounts, it SHOULD buff Secretkeeper based on it's text. I can understand that it doesn't activate spellstone since it's technically the minion which "plays" the spell and not the player. Secretkeeper however should always be buffed regardless of who plays the spell, so it's BS that it doesn't
Just that blizzard again is simply crappy with their card texts. Simple rule in hearthstone: PLAY = Play a card from your hand on the field, everything else is SUMMON, play when drawn OR put on the field.
From the card text you are right, but play and summon always worked this way; until blizzard in the last expansion totally THROWN AWAY ALL SENSE IN CARD TEXT. Look at the rogue-legendary: it says put on the field from your deck; the same text as Y'sharrj. While it nowadays is simply called RECRUIT!
Still blizzard doesn't seem to use their own keywords anymore for whatever reason.

Not possible, there has never been any text consistency in the game to being with so there was nothing to really throw away. They are as likely to spin it as fix it.

Working as intended?

Masked Contender = Mad Scientist.

Masked Contender should have same wording than Mad Scientist
Greetings, traveler.
Let's make Hunter great.
So I thought Masked Contender would be a great combo with Secretkeeper...
Turns out they don't buff each other like they should...
That being said, do they still work well enough in a Secret Hunter deck to still run both?
I'm testing the waters now!
Let's see how long it will take before they fix it.
Just had this happen today. So annoying.

Right now it's a staple card, but I'm still not sold. Worse Mad Scientist.
