This is my experience, too. Secret Paladin is powerful, but it's definitely the people who don't feel like interacting with your secrets patiently that make the winrate skyrocket. It will also be much less powerful if Control Warlock gets the opportunity to play anti-aggro instead of full greed.
I think it's worth noting that Paladin Play% + Rogue Play%, them being second and third most played classes, is still less than Mage on its own. Paladin's definitely really strong and really common at the moment, but it's certainly MUCH more annoying to play against the same Mage deck over and over in my opinion. Refreshing Spring Water is one of the most obnoxious cards I've had the displeasure of dealing with. A card that is very commonly "Draw 2 and gain 1/2 Mana" is pretty silly. Even without the mana gain, 0 mana Draw 2 is a bit much, considering they nerfed Druid's 2 mana draw 3. Font of Power's current powerful selection pool also makes sure that the "no minion" drawback is much less significant than it used to be.
Although I'll be the first to admit I'm biased considering Paladin is my favorite class, and Mage has always been at the bottom of my list of classes to play against, so take my whining with a grain of salt. Admittedly even I'm tired of Librams, though.
Yesterday I turned a Rank Two Tame Beast into a Rank One Tame Beast, so I don't think the HS team has too many qualms about making it turn back into itself if it needs to. Obviously a whole different situation, but I think it speaks to their philosophy about it.
I love the idea, it reminds me of when control paladin played Justicar Trueheart or when Vilefin Inquisitor would get jammed into it for occasional Murloc buffs. I hope it works out, I'll definitely try it!
Yeah, that makes sense. I've been senselessly trying to jam it into everything Paladin and have just started ignoring all reason with it. Thanks for replying and putting me back in line lol. Upvoted the deck, good luck in your efforts of trying to make Paladin fun again!

I think just about every old Paladin player still uses this back lol
