The problem with secrets is that they dont do them consistently at all. So when they decide to support them, they have to start from scratch every single time

yeah its a big issue for rogue and mage especially, they almost always keep secrets in standard for hunter so its a bit less there

@@FlareHearthstone I think rogue just has kinda spotty support for some reason. For mage, though.. I think it's more to do with mage secrets just being so hard to play around and there are often quite a few power-outliers. So theyd rather rotate than turn secrets too annoying(see: experience in wild).

They need more good payoff card and not more secrets, the current secret they got is good enough it just have no good card that rewards you playing it

Secret mage rant inc: I dont play wild and I hate secret mage with a passion because when I used to watch roffle every other matchup was secret mage. I find it incredibly boring to cheat out secrets so you can cheat out other stuff, all flavour or interesting design goes out the window. You can design any mechanic support this way, that's what makes it boring. Not to mention that I dont see a thematic reason for mages to have secrets outside of counterspell. Hunters lay traps, rogues play dirty and disrupt and even paladins can be somewhat justified if you see secrets as divine intervention or aid in the last second. Counterspell is only a secret because HS lacks any other way of implementing such a concept and that is why we are stuck with ice block and objection. If mages can have secrets any class thematically can have secrets, just ask yourself what a class would do if it could react in a split second.

I wish that some secrets were tradable. THe problem with secret decks is always the same: Either, you get too many secrets, leaving you with few payoff cards, only weak plays and making all the cards that depend on having secrets in deck much, much worse. Or you get not enough secrets. But thing is, I feel this is tied to the former: You cannot run too many secrets, after all, cause then you'll run into the first problem. SO people cut secrets. A few tradable secrets would greatly help. They would add far less secret-bloat to your deck. They enemy also still wouldnt know which secret you play(even if there were only a single tradable secret), cause they only see it when you trade, not when you get it back. Of course, the secrets would need to be weaker. But weaker doesn't mean useless - still a secret-activator at minimum. And it should have an at least useful effect, even if not the most powerful.

Secret mage wasn't that broken and it was keeping a lot of deck in check. I belive that secret mage would make the curent meta healthier. You also need to remeber that fun is an objective thing, for example I find secret mage quit to fun to play.
