what should be done is there should be neutral creatures or other class specific cards that have the Destroy a secret or unstealth a minion mechanic.. 

 Now, this tread is starting to repeat itself. Why ? Because players playing Mage will say that the cards needs to be changed while players not playing Mage/Hunter will say that there's should be a neutral card to have the same effect. We are egoistically trying to justify changing a card in the game to make our own deck stronger so let's just stop there. 

 

Eh, that's a pretty... weird argument. (I'm being generous here by not calling it something a lot worse.) It's always good for a card game when there are lots of options to interact with card types. What are you saying here? That nothing should ever change? It's natural to expect improvements, and I would be utterly shocked if in a year there aren't multiple ways of interacting with secrets.

There is nothing wrong with a 50% win rate.  That doesn't mean anything.

Like in league of legends a diamond and a silver player could both have the same win rate.  It's about who you're matched against not your win rate.

A 1:1 win rate does not mean you're average.

Heh, that guy with the badger portrait must think some of the best SC2 pros are terrible bads because they have had at one time or another winrates below 50% or even 40% in the GSL.

Yeah, I just don't think the cards are there yet.

The Paladin hero ability is simply terrible, and their class cards are built around healing and buffing single targets.

Anything is possible if you're just playing for fun, but for ladder climbing, you just don't have the parts to make that particular machine run.

Having said that, Aggro Paladin is perfectly viable, and kind of close in theme.

flare is a tricky card to change, only 2 decks run secrets so you can hardly deem revealing secrets worth an extra mana if your vs a class that uses no secrets. also removing the card draw would make the card near unplayable. i honestly dont know how to fix this because it is fairly overpowered but costing 2 mana would be to much and removing an effect would also be to much. maybe the answer would be to add a neutral way to stop secrets and a way to prevent flare other than counterspell

A token paladin deck doesn't have a group buff to act as a finisher.  So, any token pally deck is going to function a lot more like Zoo than a druid or shaman token deck, relying on using tokens and buffs to control the board.  In that regard, I think warlock's hero power is simply better than paladin and I don't think any paladin specific card gives it a leg up, so you'll be making an inferior zoo deck that focuses on buffing 1/1 minions instead of just playing stronger minions to begin with which is going to slow down the tempo and make it that much harder to close out a game before a control deck can stabilize the board.
