On one hand it can be really hard to keep up with a zoolock deck when playing control. On the other hand, it's pretty fun to see them basicly kill themselves by tapping every turn when you do get the upper hand. I attacked face three times with Fiery War Axe last match I won, the rest was all life lost by tapping.
EDIT: Such a beautiful thing just happened! I was playing Elise Starseeker control warrior. and I was playing malygos shaman. Was at 45 health with a hand full of nice to great legendaries (and Hemet Nesingwary)
Opponent used Ancestor's Call to pull out his Malygos. He didn't have enough to kill me (33 damage), but it didn't help that he pulled out my Bolf Ramshield as well! XD Hilarious!
Playing against a freeze mage as affliction zoolock. I manage to whittle him down in health until he plays his Alex and gets ready for lethal....
Next turn I don't have enough damage to pop his shield I will be 7 shy, BUT I have a Doomguard in hand as well as Curse of Rafaam and some other card..... so I tap and YOLO myDoomguard the only card left..... Curse of Rafaam
SlamDoomguard into his face leaving him at 2 health and cast Curse of Rafaam with the last of my mana, did a little dance...

Ermh...Okay I might not have the full picture here...But why not Curse and THEN Doomguard..?
Playing the OTK Priest list versus standard Control Priest. I'm trying to stall as my opponent is building a big board against me, my 2 Deathguards pulled Injured Blademaster both times. I managed to kill one of his Deathguards, it pulls my Velen. He entombs it, and I have 2 cards left to be drawn with a few in hand. I drop Emperor just to have it stolen by Sylvanas + SWD. He had 4 or 5 minions on board of which there was an auchenai, I draw Alekstrasaza play it, he suicides his auchenai and heals up to 17 and falls 7 damage short of killing me. My final card was Bloodmage Thalnos. Drop 3 mana Auchenai, 2 mana Bloodmage, 2 x mind blast (1 was discounted to 1, other was 2) 0 mana cost Holy Smite, and flash heal to face.

Just played a Druid who played innervate on turn 1 only to pass without a follow up card. Owned!
At last, the meta is finally evolving from Prep + Coin + Concede to Innervate + Coin + Concede!
TFW Raptor Rogue you don't have much confidence in beats a secret Paladin despite T4 blessing on DS minion, T6 MC, T7 Boom, T8 MC #2, and the coup de gras, Raptor with Sylvanas' deathrattle lands the 50/50 to steal Tirion, who deals the lethal.
Drops a T5 coined MC on an empty board to bait out BGH. Opponent falls for it and spend his resources clearing secrets and MC, "well played" me too, how cute.
T6 a second MC, no answer. Follow up with the usual Boom and Tirion. NOW it is well played my friend. You got schooled!! LOL

Wow, that skill you have. He really got schooled, indeed.

I like how you think you're a genius for coining out Mysterious Challenger on turn 5. I always wondered if the Secret Paladin kids feel smug when they're playing Dr. 6 from their hand as if they just completely outplayed someone. Thank you for satiating my curiosity.
Edit: Not only that but you felt the need to brag about it on a forum. Wait let me go make a forum post about how I played Dr. Boom on turn 7, that'll get the people impressed.
This should have gone to the salt thread if it didn't have a peppery end.
I was finishing off the League of Explorer's Heroic mode and got a rather lucky break against Rafaam Unleashed and managed to threaten lethal after a set of lucky unstable portals gave me King Krush to boot...
...except that the $@%)(*)##@$ managed to Burgle a secret earlier and of all the secrets, managed to get Ice Block and managed to be immune on the few turns that he was not meant to be immune again. At that point, I considered just conceding since I was in fatigue and would die at the start of the next turn Rafaam was no longer immune. For some reason though, I decided to push on and traded just enough to clear his board. I then spammed out Boom Bots because hey, why not.
Right when his hero power finally charged up, he decided to BM me and instead of just ending turn (where I would have lost) the AI decided to Twisting Nether when there were conveniently 2 Boom Bots on the board. Hilarity ensued: -

Thanks. Good to see that the forum is not filled with negative people who brings salt to a pepper thread.
Playing Reno Lock vs OTK Murloc Pally. I kept playing around his murlocs making him trade them in. I kept going face to keep pressure on and used my may heal options or heavy taunts to keep alive. He kept using his heal options plus card draws to keep alive. I did my best to get a belcher and other taunts down going into his turn 10. He masterfully broke my belcher but didn't have the 10 mana for OTK. I used Reno so I was out of OTK range for one more round as he didn't have 2 dead Warleaders. He went ahead and popped his first Anyfin and traded for a board clear. I got 2 1/1 demons down and taunted them with Defender +1/+1 trick. He still had to clear for his second OTK lethal round. I emoted well played as I had no answer. I think we were into round 13 by then with his Divine Favor and Solemn Vigil already used. He didn't OTK next round but he had a Muster and something else. I about crapped my pants as I was sure I was dead and just about conceded but roiled the dice. He was down to 5 HP. I had no charge, 1 shadow flame, no taunt, Juraxx, 1 mortal coil, and 1 Dark bomb. My hero power gives me a shredder. Last chance, I used my Mortal coil to draw a card and It pulled Hellfire. "Happy Feast of Winter Veil!!!"
I pretty much keep playing this Tavern Brawl for a good excuse to play Anub'arak. So far his awesomeness has frightened four opponents into conceding, he died one time (put him right back in play!), and he was Polymorphed once. From the depths of play-ability he comes!
I was playing my "CenaReno!" deck, it was turn 9, I played Onyxia, he BGH'd it just as planned and did nothing to the whelps. I played Cenarius followed by a HAPPY FEAST OF WINTERVEIL! instant concede.
Check the deck out! (this version uses Boom instead of Onyxia) very very fun deck ;)

Just read pages and pages of debates between pros and cons Grim Patron.
Happy to read that people that were defending GP were using the same flawed arguments that Secret Paladin defenders are now using.

"Put your face in the light!" - Tirion Fordring
Moreover, I don't see where the opponent fell for it.
He did what he had to do. Should he have let this MC on board with all the secrets?
You just benefited from the unfairness and abuses of your deck, chill out and be quiet about it.
PRO-TIP: What you did has a name, and it is: to play on curve.
And this, guys, is why secret paladin should actually extinct. Makes awful people think they are good.

So after many months of anger against all the same aggro/secret decks I have finally found enjoyment in Hearthstone with the following decks:
Reno Lock/Warrior/Pally
Freeze Mage
Control Priest
Mill Rogue
Even when I lose I have a blast.
That's my Pepper,
Happy Feist of Winterveil!!!
Great art can never be created without great suffering.

Kept you waiting, huh?
Turn 1 Druid of the Claw just now
Innervate is a fair card right?
Its fangs are in your flesh before its hiss leaves your ears.
