Honestly, people went nuts over Sunreaver Spy and Mysterious Blade, but other than that... Idk, I played the deck and found it really underwhelming. A lot of times you just open nothing but secrets and you set and wait for them to proc and get cleared. Honestly, I think the secrets are too easy to play around to be good in Standard, at least not as an aggro deck. I think people will shift to a more Midrange build, maybe with Kangor's Endless Army.
Go face with your weakest minion. This will proc Eye for an Eye and Noble Sacrifice. If the it procs Noble Sacrifice, it will also proc Autodefense Matrix. So your opponent blew through two resources for a 2/1. If it's Redemption, they will only get a 2/1 back. Both scenarios are lackluster and don't generate a ton of value.
Honestly, Masked Contender will likely get cut. It was lackluster in Hunter, which had a better curve (turn 2 secret, turn 3 contender).
I also think that because playing your secrets in a particular order/combination will be important for this deck to make the most of it's secrets, random secret placement isn't ideal. That being said, I think Bellringer Sentry is still fine in the deck.
I tried both version. Aggro can't deal games longer than turn 6. You don't have anything to play after. Midrange is better but still weaker than the other decks. I'm a bit sad, as a paladin main, i was super happy to try this deck but it's not that great. Divine favor hofed hit hard. It was the card carrying all aggro paladin decks.

I can relate to everything you said.
Maybe later down the line once the meta is settled things change
Countess ashmore and subject 9 are great for the draw. Sound the bells is as good as in arena. Masked contender doesn't always cast a secret and his body is average. I don't think he's that good.
I put 2 consecration + MCT vs the aggro decks since we don't have a lot of board. It works pretty well.
The deck doesn't feel that strong, i'm struggling everygame during 10 to 20 turns to win any game. It's like playing in arena. There is no highroll effect except when i managed to play rhyssa when there are some secrets, so very rarely.

Midrange for sure. Aggro has no gas

I can't get a version of this deck to work well either.
It's inconsistent and seems to really lack steam.
I am using Blessing of Wisdom now just to try and get card draw going. But in turn I had to cut two secrets.
Is anyone doing well with a version of this deck?
I've just reached rank 5 with a midrange secret paladin.
This is my deck :
It looks like an arena deck.
Countess ashmore and subject 9 are great for the draw.
