Actually when played secret eater is normaly a 3/5 for 4 with the upside that it can grwo bigger. This is actually worse than secret eater but its a tech against secrets might see play if any secret deck runs out of hand.
a better eater of secrets. I cant imagine secret mage being super problematic, but if it is this bad boy will keep it in check. Its less insane when it works, and less garbage when it doesnt
secret mage is going to suffer a lot this rotation. they lose kabal crystal runner, medivh's valet, firelands portal and kabal lackey. I think it will still be playable, but nowhere near its current power level.
im not sure how good this card is but wile playing against secret mage it sometimes felt that an t4 eater of secrets was to slow. But at moment i cant think about an good secret deck in standard after the rotation maybe paladin?
Who the hell votes bad on a tech card? I can understand if there was competition for a secret destroyer in standard but there isn't one. This is it. It will see play in certain metas if secrets are seeing a lot of play, so it's playable. Your sore feelings about this expansion's power level are irrelevant.
This is wrong and thinking inside the box, maybe the card is so bad that using other methods to activate, play around and counter secrets may be better, firefly is better than eater of secrets against mirror entity most of the times because 3 mana difference matters
Blizzard keeps things fair by giving a better value replacement for Eater of Secrets. I don't think this card is very useful anymore without Ice Block, but it is good to know that Secrets are still kept in check.
This is well needed with eater of secrets rotating out, but even if eater of secrets was to still be around I think this card is just far better anyway.

Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.
I just have one question: WHERE THE FUCK WAS THIS CARD LAST YEAR?!
This is exactly what we needed to counter Mages, yet we never got it.
If you REALLY needed a secret mage counter, you should have run Eater of Secrets. It’s far better against secret mage as they often have 2 secrets up and it comes earlier. This card is just a more rounded tech card for when you only occasionally see secrets.
I understand the need for destroying secrets but this still feels too swing. They're getting closer though. I think an ideal card that doesn't annihilate all hope for someone would be like; 2 mana 2/3, battlecry: destroy a random enemy secret.
No Ice Block in standard, and this is just worse than Wild equivalents. Won't see play.
What? Wild have many decks, highlanders, cube/control warlock, giants, aggro, mill rogue and some with secrets like MC or mages, how this card is worse than equivalents? Do the same job when opponent have secrets and is much better when opponent don't have secrets...
After two years, this card should rotate into Classic. That should be around the time when the Classic set should be more than due for an overhaul anyway.

The first anti-secret tech that doesn't completely suck in 6/9 of your matches, wow.
It's slow tbh.

techaroonie
Wild decks thank you so much, finally a decent neutral secret tech.
Standard is safe from bullshit dominant secret decks for a least 2 years.
Better than eater of secrets against classes that don't have / don't run secrets, against classes that run secrets, eater is just way better.
Maybe... nah nah nah nah

Without Ice Block on standard this Chief Inspector could not be playable btw I miss silence effects on this expansion and draw mechanich for shaman.
