Secrets Paly is everywhere like a plague and it's just so hard to defeat. I understand the Meta will change once the cards settle down and people start seeing what works well but right now Secrets Paladin is overplayed and the bad part is its running all over most decks now. I have lost many ranks vs this deck and haven't found the answer. I refuse to jump on this band wagon but at the same time I got to find a way to beat it. What are you guys doing to fight off this deck? Literally for me 3 out of 5 people I face are playing it.
I been playing Tempo Mage and face Hunter but I have under 50% with these vs Secrets Paladin. Just looking for others opinions on this.
I'm doing pretty well against them with token pally (it's a thing, check tempo storms recent article on paladin decks) cause you always have a pretty big board to trade with their shit before it gets buffed and you have ways to handle mysterious challenger's body (aldor, equality).

Freeze Mage works really well, I think I'm roughly 7-1 against Secret Paladin around Ranks 7-8. Until everyone starts running Flare, which I really hope doesn't happen.
If anyone has links to a Midrange Hunter build thats good vs aggro as well as slower builds, I would love to see it.
I'm going to be honest with you. I threw in a Dreadscale and swapped out one of my Freezing Traps in a pre TGT mid range hunter and I've been destroying secret pally (oh and I threw in king's elekk and powershot somehow). No flare even needed.
Oh according to tempo storm, patron warrior is pretty good against secret pally as well (70% winrate) so you might want to give the old cancer a try ;)

Actually 2-1 against it currently with Oil Rogue, you just need to take control of the board before turn 6, and even then it still is a tough match-up . Basically any deck that can flood the board quicker or take control of it.
Midrange hunter with Flare seems like the perfect counter, however I have found some great successes with patron warrior. Patron works since none of the secrets matter if you're not even attacking into them until you have lethal.

Until one guy gets the bright idea to run Repentance patron will be the best counter.
Beast Control Hunter beats it, even without running Flare. Control Warrior im 2-1 against them so far, the loss was the first time i ever saw the deck though. I think a deck that runs 10 shitass secrets tends to beat itself rather than have a counter though.
The top lists only run 6 to 8 secrets to my knowledge, but yeah, warrior should rejoice that aggro pally is going away in favor of secret pally.

Step 1:Play Dreadscale + taunts.
Step 2: Play Flare.
Step 3: wait for your opponent to concede.
Step 4: accept your opponent friend request.
Step 5: Laugh at your opponents salt.
Midrange hunter with double Flare, one for each mysterious challenger.

Freeze mage, handlock, any warrior with a little extra AOE, midrange pally, etc all work well too.
N/M I went through and disenchanted some trash goldens so will look at crafting one now
Flare is such a d!ck card, hilarious.

Also yea Flare just ruins a Secret Pally's day.
the thing is I can't go overboard on teching vs Paly that it just wrecks me vs the wrest of the field
Its not a perfect answer, but you can tech in kezan mistique. It doesn't deal with all of the secrets but it will give you a little bit of help.

Well played...
