seems weak since activated on enemies turn only and tempoloss.

might be good with some carddraw cards if you can get the combo off.

you cant play this + rag for example at the same turn, so its worthless for really powerfull stuff.

The Duplicate was actually Counterspell.
Now what?

Leeroy combos incoming


Just remember that secrets don't work on your own turn anymore. So I doupt it will be as potent as those combos of other classes.

I personally think this will be strongest in secret mage decks. Really good value with Kirin Tor Mage while also not being too slow with that card.


Play Leeory.Opponent kills him next turn and now you have two Leeroys on your turn.Seems like a decent play.

Anyway,i don't know how good this card is gonna be overall.I guess it would be great to have 4 Water Elementals in your deck instead of 2 but you might lose tempo trying to get value out of this card.It's similar to the new Rogue card in that regard.

I'm sure we'll see some new mage decks and also seems like a solid card in arena.

Wonder how it will handle multiple death situations like flamestrike. Probably just totally fucking random like Syl v Syl.

You can combo it with Antonidas. Which would be lousy vs Mage or Shaman due to poly/hex, but in every other control matchup would pretty much just win you the game.

However, a big turn 10 play is just really slow in the current meta...I expect that if it gets used, its primary value will be in huge tempo swings when comboed with kirin tor mage on turn 3 (or turn 2 with the coin).

Paladin and Mage are two of the worst class in constructed, and Blizzard gives them secrets that would be much better if secret could activate on your own turn...

And this is very card efficiant in arena, always 1 card played, 2 earned. So more card adventage for the OP Arena class :/

you're correct if you're playing against one of those 2 classes. there are, however, 7 others without the ability to cheek the mechanic in this way.


well, as always theres plenty of ways imaginable to play around a secret (as it should be)

another example: play leeroy and kill a whelp first with your hero abilty or whatever. we'll see how practical the secret and it's counters are
what if Nat Pagle and RNGesus are the same person?

shaman has pretty good low cost spells to test for counterspell and spellbender dude

e: so does mage. and sometimes you even have the Coin to test....

Paladin secret is a flame imp without the battlecry. I don't know why people underestimate this card so much.

Very good value card, very bad tempo card. In terms of tempo you pay 3 mana for no effect on the board.
I'm trying to see the deck that will use it. A slow control mage usually has plenty of cards in hand and no time to play them all. I don't think a control mage will want to use 3 mana for a secret for a a chance to take 2 minion cards in his hand.

I don't know if somehow aggro mage could use the card. I could see them play one, so that late game wolfriders and arcance golems can be a serious threat.

Overall I believe the guys at Hearthstone are doing a great job. Being a top Mtg player helps me evaluate cards in other card games pretty easily. But this time I really can't possibly tell if some Naxxramas cards are playable.

Honestly, I'd really like to see a buff to Etheral Arcanist. Right now it competes directly with stuff like Water Elemental and Yeti, (not to mention fireball and polymorph) and it really doesn't measure up at all. Given how underwhelming secret keeper tends to be, and Kirin Tor Mage is really the only Secret-Themed minion worth a damn.

If Etheral Arcanist was a 4/4, I think running a secrets deck would be way more viable.

So you waste turn 3 and use fireball in turn 4 while they put up harvest golem and senjin.
