After facing a bunch of secret mages, whether I won or lost against them, I've realised that trying to play around their cards is pointless. There is absolutely no reason to try and interact with their cards outside of clearing the board, you can only try and force your own win condition whilst tanking their secrets. Anyone else experienced the same?
No. This is really bad advice. The good advice would be that sometimes you just cant play around the secrets and the most difficult thing is deciding when you can and when you cant.
You can actually play around secrets when there's like one or two in play, what happens is that the deck has, at the moment, a punish for every action you might possibly take, so usually you end up trying to play around too much stuff while actually doing nothing (which is objectively worse, so I wouldn't take your advice in a literal way).

I'd rather play against secret mage than Solitaire style otk mage decks. Secret mage decks are winnable more often than the Solitaire stuff.
Secrets are tough but really Rigged Fair Game is probably the worst one, If you can keep them from activating it they tend to fizzle out and you win. More than once the only reason secret mage won against me was because they got the extra draw from RFG.
As toxic as secret mage is it's still better than Solitaire mages. No thanks.

Nope. Which level are you playing at? Most decks have a key spell or turn they rely on to win. Decent secret mage players will know them and play the worst possible secret at the worst possible time for you, mixed with some curve balls, so you are forced to play around them.
Playing around secrets is not always trying out for every one of them every turn. See the game from their perspective instead.
