The deck wants 1 drop minions to play on turn 1 and to help curve later in the game. Secretkeeper to me feels about as good as zombie chow in this deck, without the drawback. If you want to try an echoing ooze variation I think that might be interesting! It feels more likely to be good than tidehunter to me.
Well like I say it is most important to watch a game and pause each time a situation comes up. See if you would make the same move. If you don't, think about what would have happened differently in that specific game if you made your move instead. Both the prediction and the actual analysis after you decide to make a different move are important exercises. GLGL!
Don't hold acolyte vs paladin--it's too slow. You can maybe keep acolyte if you already have a ghoul to pair with it. Definitely keep it vs midrange paladin if you somehow know you aren't facing secrets.
To answer your other question, keep corsair with weapon for sure if you run it.
You really don't want 2x gnomish and 2x shield block vs secret paladin. Having so many draw cards is great vs something like control warrior, but vs secret paladin games will end before you have mana to cycle through them all. Most games against secret paladin are completely decided by turn 8. By decided, I mean you either have a board of patrons he can't remove or you are dead.
To target secret paladin you want to cut either 1 gnomish and 1 shield block or both shield blocks (secret paladin has no burst, so unlike vs hunter you don't need shield blocks to stabilize after you control the board). You want to add cards that can help you control the board, like taskmaster, corsair, or 2nd axe. All of those would be fine choices depending on your style.
Armorsmith is a great card vs paladin, and you should never cut it if you are struggling vs aggro. The archon guys were being very greedy cutting armorsmiths, trying to tailor their decks vs control.

Thanks so much! It makes me emotional to see the deck still being played :). Farewell to patron warrior; your video is a fitting swan song.

Congrats! Glad to hear I was at least a little help on your way to legend :)

Yes you can cut gnomish for brawl if you want to improve the MU vs handlock and the mirror.

If you must play grommash I would remove a gnomish or shield block for him.

Congrats on legend and I'm glad you found a version that works for you!

The deck won't really work without 2x challenger unfortunately :(

I also like coghammer, 2x blessing of kings, and loatheb nowadays. But I still like 2x divine favor :).
Congrats on your rank 5. Good tinkering and I hope you get some excellent golden cards!

Druid should be an OK matchup. Do your best to play around swipe when making trades. Repentance and kings are both good in the matchup.

Glad to hear it served you well and I hope you get some awesome golden cards!
