Shouldn't work - geist removes spells that cost 1 mana originally, affected mana cost doesn't matter. He will gladly destroy 0 mana arcane missiles, but ignore 1 mana ultimate infestation.

Interesting that no one plays them in constructed. Personally I prefer to run those guys in my odd rogue deck over blink foxes. Both fox and mystic give you a card, which is good for a deck with very limited recources, but card from mystic appears to be playeable more often, because it is always cheap, even if it's rarely impactful. Main reason is his stats tho - 1 extra hp allows mystic to survive hellfires, duskbreakers, sometimes defiles or trades, really, there is a big difference between 3/3 and 3/4. And random 2 drop my opponent recieves is the last thing I should worry about - most decks right now have unlimited recources anyway, if I am against some kind of control/combo, usually they don't even have time to play it

From my experience, Prince Liam works better for odd paladin than for secret one - main reason is because odd paladin can't run call to arms to clear his deck from small drops. Secret pally has 2 call to arms, 2 divine favors and 2 bellringer sentries, and by the time you can play Prince Liam often there are no one drops left in your deck - and well, sometimes there are no cards left at all, if your opponent can't free his hand secret pally draws so fast even combo decks can't compete with him

Pretty sure you are doing something wrong man - I got legend with this deck too, and unlike Spark I'm a casual player, not a pro, also I don't really have much experience with hunter - this should prove this deck is viable at least.

I believe Leeroy instead of one highmane can make sence, but it's hard to tell if it will actually improve this deck. Don't think any other legendary fits into this deck

Draw was always the hunter weakness, you don't really want to sacrifice temp for it - and I'd prefer not to put dk here, shooting ppl in the face is a good hero power, but if you want some kind of late in case your early game didn't go well enough, you can try to put dk instead of one highmane, it may work against priests, not sure about warlocks tho, and 2 damage aoe with 5 armor can possibly save you against aggro sometimes. Spellbreaker can make sence too for sure, and again highmane is the best card to replace. Personally I like this deck as it is, but if you want to make some changes, it never harms to try

If you don't have keleseth at turn 2 it is fine to recruit him - you should not worry about his buff after turn 4 anymore. Small-Time Recruits is not really a good card, divine favor is the better choice for draw.

I've played this, and I belive vala'nyr is a replaceble card, probably with spellbreaker. I've also tried to play blood knight in pally - sometimes people will let you to have divine shield on you turn (which doesn't really happen often tho) and you can make a 3 mana 6/6 just for a small sacrifice, and blood knight is a cool card in mirrors.

personally i think bonemare here is too slow man, the best thing you can do with hunter is to close games fast, the longer you play the lesser is your chance to win. And well, as you said bonemare is 4 damage that can matter, but if you want damage you can just play leeroy instead - also you already have 2 kill commands you can throw in the face, and this damage ignore taunts, while buffs/charges don't

And I actually climbed to legend with this deck, thx Spark, it was exciting

Great deck, I've returned to rank 1 from rank 4 in few hours, looks like it works surprisingly well in current meta. Also, this deck is way more interesting to play than aggro!

If you try to fight for board too much with secret mage, you will always lose. Make trades early only if they help to protect stronger minions, and try to push as much damage as possible. Your only lategame is to draw spells and throw them into face, minions you put on board at this time can only take some damage, chance that they will be able to attack is too small

Maybe you face too many aggro at lower ranks, and this deck isn't that great against aggro, notable pally which is kinda almost unwinnable matchup. I play different version of secret mage right now, and made it to rank 1 so far.
