I play control and since Blizzard is against Control as a playstyle, I thought I would do the old "If you cant beat em, join em" mentality.
So I copy pasta'd a Secret Paladin from HS Replay today.
Holy smoly! Almost every game so far is over on turn 5!! Ive had 1 game go to turn 7! LOL This is so broken and just disgusting.
No wonder everybody plays these types of decks. You get free wins.
However, after 6 games, IM bored of it already. LOL Im gonna use it to get a quick Legend rank today.
Perfect 6-0 over on turn 5!! Ive beat 2 Warlocks, A quest warrior, a Druid, Shadow Priest and a HUnter so far..........just wow.
It really feels like cheating to be honest.

He is running 8 secrets, two of each copy and sword of the fallen. It’s different enough from hand buff, it abandons the cheap divine shields and prismatic jewel kit for secrets. The end result is the same though, get any two minions to stick on the board, conviction battleground battlemaster. This is really what any pally deck is trying to do, but also rogue decks with stealth and now even warlock decks with flesh giants. We are going to see shadow priests and quest druids running battlegrounds battlemaster soon. It’s the highest power level neutral in the set and they usually get adjusted. Remember corridor creeper?
Playing with Secret Paladin in top 500 legend, and yes the deck feel very unfair. Kinda a checkmate most of time when you have the 2 secrets and minions on board.
Also there is an other list that might be even more powerfull with stealth 2 drops and Blessing of Authority that can otk you as soon as they draw Battlemaster.
I'm playing First Blade of Wrynn over Murgugle and Varian and it proves to be a great addition on the deck, 4 mana 3/5 divine shield is kind of great and it become even more absurd with Bannerman
Fortunately Battlemaster is getting nerfed soon, it is so broken on many decks.
I find first blade to be hit or miss. In hand buff he is great, but too often he doesn’t have rush and isn’t really worth playing without it.
Even without the buff I'm pleased with the card, specially because it is a sticky minion just before Battlemaster / Conviction turn. Murgugle and Varian feel weaker, the Prime doesn't matter and at 8 mana you are already closing most games.

Agreed, varian is too expensive and mugurgle isn’t sticky enough. In a secrets package, I’d prefer something more impactful. Not sure what the optimum choice is, but it might a stealth neutral.

thx for the response, good to know I wasnt off the mark with this. cheers.
He has only 4 Secrets in his deck... Oh my Yogg! and that Horse thing 2x. No more secrets.
And the sword doesnt give you new secrets.
See? Its Tier 1, second best deck in the game right now. To me, who never plays these decks, it seems broken to me, because of the ease with which I won games and climbed! I wasnt wrong then was I , even though the deck only runs 4 secrets and 2 secret wpns that dont give new secrets. It turns out, that the meta has a sweet spot right now for this deck. Those 4 secrets are so good right now. Gaining an early game board dev lead is all Pally needs to win right now. That 5 drop that gives windfury along with the 1 mana, sometime 0 mana Bloodlust, is insane!! Shaman had to pay 5 mana for that kinda burst, and Pally has it for 1 or 0 mana.

rank>?
You should tell us your rank when saying that this deck os broken.
Yes its powerfull, but not more powerfull then warlocks and OTK DH in top300 legend meta. Ill say its same level and the most problem is 5-5 windfury.
Hope they will nerf 5-5 windfury and 2-6 warlock demon
Secret Paladin with only 4 Secrets...
Dude, that's not a "Secret" Paladin.

currently at Diamond 3, started at D whatever? 13-1 so far

And the sword doesnt give you new secrets.
brutal eh? lol and to think I only lost 3 games on my run to Legend with that list!! Just shows how broken it is at the moment.
See? Its Tier 1, second best deck in the game right now.

Out of curiosity, what star bonus did you start the month with? And congrats on your success with the deck!
I started with 9 bonus stars, but didnt start playing this Secret Paladin deck until I was in Diamond level.
