It won't be as good as scientist or MC but it should be good. Strong body and obviously crazy tempo. The only thing is that hunter doesn't have much draw which will limit this. It will probably make Yogg hunter a lot better. Lock and load can get really crazy now.
This is fracking insane. 3/4 for 3 is the perfect vanilla statline for a 3 drop, and on top of that they give it an ability that'll let you save up to *14* mana in one turn? Even if the secrets aren't that great, the tempo gain alone could win games.
Of course, it'll likely only be 1-3 secrets, but even then, tooooo much tempo.
Notice it doesn't say 'this turn'. This card is similar to kirin tor mage, but kirin is next secret you play this turn costs 0, and is 4/3 instead of 3/4. Now mage secrets are better and more expensive, however with this card hunters can cast all the secrets they have in hand for free (that aren't duplicates), and if you don't remove can cast future secrets they draw for free.
I think the card is good, but I think that people are overreacting a bit. How many secrets can Midrange Hunter afford to play without compromising their proactive game plan? Plus they already have a lot that contest the 3 mana slots and it's not a beast, so you can't go this into Houndmaster. I guess this could go into Yogg and Load Hunter, but that deck is far away from being tier 1.

This ^, card is definitely good though, probably as a 1 of in a classic midrange list, 2x in a more refined thought out list after everything has settled down.
this is kind of a lock and load 3 card combo, lock and load+this+secret, then pray you get another secret with a different name,..now that i think about it that's not that good but can lead to very fun wtf moments.
Broken as hell lol. With the three minion secrets you're lookin at 10/8 in beasts on top of the 3/4 body... add in a secret keeper and arcane golem and prepare for secret pally 2.0.
Probably the strongest card in the entire expansion. Wtf. 3/4 for 3 is already premium statline, but Kirin Tor Mage powercreep on top? WTF are they thinking.
At first I thought that card might be ok, but reading the reactions here I think people are putting too much importance on secrets. Like the majority of the time, you'll have only one secret to play and that's fine because it will give you tempo. That card will be even more viable in L&L decks which is nice, but still I feel there's too much hype. Eeater Of Secrets is there if ever it gets too crazy so there will automatically be balance.
I dont get the hype. Most of the time it will be a Kirin Tor Mage for hunters.
Except that secrets now have a lot of stuff to help them. It will definely get inside the midrange hunter archetype, maybe not the classical one, but surely some twisted-secret version with that s**tload of crap that we got now.
I personally dislike secrets, but they will be a thing, and with this, they will get into the meta.
Well, I kinda expect them to play this and then throw their hands out (as bad secretadin players used to do). But the card is better than KTM. Has better stats and state-based effect (if it survives anyhow, it greatly empowers your next turn). So I don't believe it's overrated, but it will lead to lots os misplays...
Eater of secrets incoming GGGG

You are not prepared!
Very excited about this card, I've loved secrets Hunter since 2014.

First i read "secret" and think it's pretty good, and then i realized that this is "Secrets". OP

What the fck! O_o dude.. who made this into a card?
As if hunters needed a buff.. this is just broken as hell. Secret Hunter begins.
Secret Hunter... FML! This sounds wee bit overpowered.
Really like it. Won't be as crazy OP as everyone thinks since it'll make a hand run dry very quickly.
Obviously Blizzard is trying to bring secrets back into the meta, give a reason to play Eater of Secrets as a tech card.

I don't really see how this is going to be good. Having to have them in hand simply doesn't work.
