The problem with hex or polymorph is, you dont know what secret your opponent has put down and you cant always check for everything either.

Theres no point trying to play around the card with hex and polymorph anyways. Which scenario is worse: Your opponent getting two additional loot hoarders, or not having a solution for their Antonidas? Your decision making doesn't change.

A lot of good comments here. I like the card but with any you have to decide what has to go, to stick this in. I see this card being very useful in the mage deck that I am currently climbing the ladder with. Spells/stalls/iceblocks ect.. the three mana is the weakness like all mage secrets.

remember, there is a counter to whatever YOU are playing and SOMEONE is playing it

What if duplicate made the card that goes back into your hand cost one less but do one less of everything? e.g., Malygos 3/11 4 spell damage 8 mana. It would go along with the idea that copies of things aren't always like the original (or copies of copies :p). Plus in the example given, Malygos + arcane explosion ftw?

I wonder, if this summoned two copies of the destroyed creature, rather than put them in your hand, would that too big a tempo swing?

It would be incredibly overpowered.
You pay 5 mana to copy a minion (Faceless Manipulator)
this would be 3 mana for 2 Faceless Manipulators.

Well, not necessarily. Faceless Manipulator is targeted, so it always copies the best minion on the board immediately. This would copy a minion effectively of your opponent's choosing, and only when they decide to trigger it.

I see someone said secret is not working on player turn. Is it true? so it will not work with my charge minion then? TT

no it won't. blizzard changed it for exactly that reason, namely that they can introduce more powerful secrets.

Weak as shit, spells are meant to swing tempo back into your favor. Spells that only work when you're already ahead are weak and pointless as you're already winning.

Duplicate worked great in a Secret Mage deck so far:

You realise that dupicate had exactly ZERO effect on that game. You never even played the two Minions you got. EVERY other secret would have been better in that sutuation....

No offense but posting a game from rank 15 doesn't really demonstrate much. You can pretty much use any cards/decks at these ranks and see success.

Duplicate allows you to get 2 of the same legendary card in hand, even though you are limited to 1 of it in the deck.

Of course, for board-presence strong legendaries, you could already duplicate them with Faceless. However, Faceless doesn't trigger battlecries. So essentially, if there are legendaries with really strong battlecries (more important than their body), then Duplicate > Faceless. I wonder if we will see such battlecry-heavy legendaries in the future.

edit: ah well, pandas can bounce them back to hand just as well..

The 3 mana cost stops you getting anything really big though. In order to duplicate something 8 mana or more, you'd need to have duplicate in play from the turn before, and to avoid it being wasted, your board would need to be empty.

This means it's too slow to use that way.

Best case for duplicate will be Azure Drakes or similar I guess.

Careful. Even suggesting that people's opinions and mindsets are irrelevant based on their rank is a slippery slope.
