Last month I got legend with an Aggro Priest build and I thought it was the wackiest. But then I went legend with Secret Tempo Mage this month. Turned out with Arcanologist, the secret package with Kabal Crystal Runner and Ethereal Arcanist looks incredibly strong, especially in Wild when you have Mad Scientist for free tempo and Duplicate for extra value.
https://hsreplay.net/replay/WSkY3hTmuN2BcTuwJdandN (I made a critical misplay in this match playing a second Arcanist into Sylvanas because I was playing so fast. Luckily (very luckily) I still won. Don't do it guys)
I can attest to the strength of the secret wild mage. I made a similar / not as effective version and I was surprised how easily it snowballed out of control. One counterspell / mirror image that gets value pretty much ends the game.
And amazingly effective against Control as well, since they mostly have high value cards. If you have a big board and a Counterspell, there's a very high chance they can never clear it.
Thanks for posting this. I miss the old secret mage. It's what I used to get Golden Mage during the GvG era. Definitely will play this for old times, especially with the new buffs!

I can definitely say that I've gotten my ass kicked by this deck many times. It's definitely a very powerful deck.
Having to play around so many secrets can really screw with your plays. Sometimes you absolutely cannot afford to play around certain secrets, so if it happens to be those secrets you just lose.
I just faced a guy who were playing exactly my Secret Mage. I was playing Exodia Mage and blasted the hell out of him with infinite fireballs. Then he added me and asked how many mage decks I have haha
Hi guys :D

If secrets mage is doing reasonably well for me in standard I'm excited to see how silly it will be in wild. Thanks for the deck and grats on legend
