How Weak is Secret Paladin in Hearthstone?

  • Secret Paladin is a midrange paladin deck centred around Secrets. While individually most paladin Secrets are very weak, the deck relies on stacking multiple Secrets at once to confuse the opponent and protect their minions while leveraging Secret-related synergy effects.

    You should also make an attempt to update the decklists with modern spins. It isn’t very reflective of the deck/cards to play a version that came out like 6 years ago. During Kobolds and Catacombs it was a tier 1 deck in wild with a similar yet different list favoring an aggro strategy over midrange.

      Exactly my thoughts, instead of trying to make the deck a bit better with secrets like oh my yogg ans such he just takes the 5 year old decklist and tries to win against new cards. Why mention all the support cards the archetype got over the years if you're not even putting them in your deck?

    An extra effect of misterious challenger that is often forgotten was his battlecry removing 3-5 1-cost cards from your deck.
    As an aggro/midrange deck drawing 1 mana spells feels horrible, but after the first challenger the chances of that drop drastically.

    I think it would be really cool for these kinds of videos, with archetypes that have been revisited since, if you showcased an up to date list! Since the games take place in WILD anyway, i think it would be fair to ask some wild players or check the meta vor modern versions. Tell us how the deck developed, whether Sword of the Fallen made it into the list, how it's doing in todays Wild meta, etc. Since you can't have the deck compete against modern standard decks for show, you could go for a custom game with a friend who plays a Standard meta deck, for a"fairer" fight, OR also do a game or two with a modernized list that's up to date with WILD.

      @andrwarrior Před 2 lety +1

      100% agree with you here. not including oh my yogg in the list is sacrilege in itself. I like seeing the wild content, but if you just copy a list from 20 years ago and lose with it, the video doesn't do anything memorable or interesting.

I mean yeah the pose is way more neutral but that's about it, *she's wearing less clothes than before.*

    The old secret Paladin would lose to modern decks so too power creep however if you make a more modern secret paly aggro with mysterious challenger as the top end you can win games (no dr boom or other high drops, they suck. Modern day wild ends way to fast for them). I played a deck like that in wild and it was fun.

    I really enjoy the first part of these videos where you summarize the history of the archetype. Since there's crazy stuff happening in Wild I would really like it if you put a new deck list together combining all the tools the archetype got over the years. Of course the old Grand Tournament list will suck compared to the Wild meta, but can an updated list hold up? That's at least not obvious to non-Wild players.

    Secret Paladin would be amazing vs control if we had more secrets like Oh My Yogg. Tax Paladin made use of the secrets with just the unnerfed sword. Having a card that puts a ton of restrictive secrets into play while having a decent attack would be something the deck wants to have.

    You really should do some deck tech for these 'is this archetype still good' videos.

    The gameplay was a mix of sadness from seeing a top tier deck of yore looking weak and happiness thinking back to the days of Secret Paladin and watching it get wrecked.
    The biggest was how STALE Blizzard let things get back then. The deck was around for 8 months without getting nerfed. Patron was nerfed, which made Secret Paladin even stronger. Perhaps a little weaker halfway through that time since League of Explorers changed things up a bit and aggro Shaman could blow it out.

    Nothing fun of winning the game then be told no (twice) then getting it stolen simple because you had no secret removal the only way to play around it. Like every secret has a way play around it but Ice block impossible play around unless you are running anti-secret.
    In my book you won vs that mage deck.

      Mostly because no one uses hero powers outside of Warlock and the upgrade to Warlock's hero power is pretty mediocre, so going for only odd cards is not worth it.
      Demon hunter and Quest hunter sometimes use it though, but it's rare for sure
