Like seriously why do no one play it? I haven’t seen a single person play it and I can’t find any popular streamers playing it either… Have any of you people seen someone play it, or played it yourself?
I’ve been playing a bit around with it and tried different versions of it, and my newest version have a winrate at 84% winrate. (went from rank 8 to 3) I’ve currently won 32 games and lost 6 with it, 2 of the 6 loses was because I got no minions in the first few turns of the game and a single one I lost to a druid that went Innervate, Innervate, Teacher, Living Root’s into topdeck Power of the Wild next turn. It got a lot stronger with the introduction of Arcane Anomaly and Avian Watcher. The deck simply seems to have openers so strong that the opponent opener can’t compete with it at all and after that it’s just to put down a Mysterious Challenger or an Avian Watcher and beat your opponent’s face in. :D - Please don’t call me dumb/braindead for playing this deck I play a lot of other decks and archtypes too -
Screenshots without the decklists? Unless you want to convince us with your win% in which case you have to provide ss for each of your games.
...and yes I tried playing secret pally again in standard after Avian Watcher was released. Not only me but the deck was played pre-ONiK using Eggs with also a respectable win% especially against Warrior as reported by VS. The deck can also be found played in the top 100 last two seasons.
But there is little weight in a thread like this without at least the decklist and more screenshots of you reaching the lower end of the proposed ranks and possibly even tracked stats.
Else it's just a whole lotta hype and little content.
I added the decklist now, trying to find a way to get the stats in my tracker into a picture. Also here's pic from rank 6 can add some for rank 5 and 4 too if it's needed.
Without Avenge the deck loses all its staying power. Where it was once slightly "challenging" to clear the whole board post mysterious challenger, it's no "secret" what sequencing will put you back in the drivers seat vs the standard deck. Too gimmicky

Nice puns there ;) Also, pretty much all decks lost power after the Standard introduction, while Secret Paladin lost Avenge, Minibot and Muster other deck's lost Mad Scientist, Sludge Belcher, Antique Healbot, Zombie Chow, Deathlord and so on. :P
(pretty much the only class that went up in power is Shaman)
and play this on wild,compare power lvl,i think you should get your answer,but is still viable deck at high legend ranks (player named jambre climbed with secret pala to top 10 if i remember well)
Well, almost all deck's is weaker in Standard, if you compare a Control Warrior in Standard with one in Wild the Wild one will obviously also be stronger... :)
Been playing it for 2 months, bro. Welcome to the party. Not as OP as in the glory days, but you can rank with it (>50% win rate on Data Reaper report).

I haven't gotten around to testing an Avian Watcher version yet. I'll be sure to check it out.
Finally someone that knew sites with other Secret Paly decks :D (These two deck's are very different from my version though - they're like Bubble Paladins, they play 3-4 secret's while my deck runs 7)
For the last 2 days btw secret paladin is very rare even at wild. For me as a pirate rogue it's sad :( those secret paladin got me to rank 3 . Without them I'm back to 5
Only decks that matter in standard are the ones with broken early-game tempo or broken swing turns. The rest can get by passably on a lucky day, and that's about it.

But that's pretty much what this deck has... Broken High Tempo Openers and insane late-game turns with Mysterious Challenger or a Keeper of Uldaman at a big minion... :P

A few pic’s from my first times playing the deck:

What's your question again?
No idea bro, but I'd love to test your list myself :D
People play it
I play a version of secret pally in standard, but it's not quite like it once was.
I'm Dumb, will edit it now.....
Secret Paladin is for chodes.
Good that you are having fun with the deck.

Yes it is still playable in Standard, but not as much powerful as pre-standard was.
people would miss its level of powercreep in Standard. Why not playing it in Wild and enjoy its full power instead?
