Been stuck at or around Rank 10 for the last several days. I am literally seeing close to 75% of my games against Mage and Priest, with the majority of those being Spiteful Priest and Secret / Tempo mage.
What type of deck would you recommend that might get me moving forward against this local meta? I have not found anything that is even close to consistent. As much as I don't want to just go aggro, if that's what it takes, then so be it. But so far, even aggro Paladin hasn't been great. Sure, I'll get the occasional great opener and win, but more often than not I am either getting wrecked by duskbreakers, or just getting out-faced by the mages.
Obviously warlock is a terrible matchup against them, although I was thinking of trying a zoo deck to see if that worked. (I am about 40 wins short of golden warlock, so would love it if it did work).
I have has some luck with Jaina mage, but again, its just not consistent.
I'm not sure if my collection is public or not (I think it is), but have pretty much every card, or could craft if needed. And I'm not opposed to going either netdeck, or off-meta ... just looking for something that works.
Thanks in advance :-)

That's not exactly true. Secret mage can burn down control warlock a lot of times. And spiteful priest can snowball control warlock a lot of times. Yes it is overall the best meta deck atm but it has quite a few unfavorable match ups and is not the best pick for only spiteful priest and secret mages
Control Warlock wrecks secret mage and its even to priest. Its by far the best deck of the format, only countered by Kinsbane Rogue.
I would love to hear how you play control warlock against secret mage then. Explosive runes trashes the openers (Mistress, Librarian, ect), Counterspell either forces you to play around it by burning the few non healing spells you have to get to the only real weapon you do have, which would be healing. Frostbolts, Fireballs, and Pyroblast's don't seem to care how many Voidlords you play, or when you play them.
I have even tried the deck with it heavily teched against mage (eater, weapon removal, and a second dark pact), and I still find myself getting burned down more often than not.
I do agree that it is by far the bast deck in the game right now, but that has resulted in it being heavily teched against. Everyone is running multiple silence and transform effects ... and don't even get me started on the damn mind controls.

Only deck I can think of that is favored against BOTH would be murloc pally or maybe an agro pally variant. Murloc pally is def a good place to start

Probably Murloc Paladin, Barnes Hunter may do good, I'm not sure. You can check Vicious Syndicate for the latest matchup report.
