It just gives you tremendous tempo when you get to completely invalidate one of your opponents threats and either ignore it and push face damage or easily clear it without having your minions die.īelcher also is so good at protecting your board from other minion focused decks once you're ahead and he also has incredibly powerful synergy with Redemption giving you an additional two taunt minions your opponent will have to spend actions chewing through. So the only way to ensure that Secretkeeper gets any sort of buff is to keep secrets in your opening hand with her which is just a bad idea since they're very low value cards.Īldor on the otherhand is outstanding against Blessing of Kings, Challenger, Boom, Shredder, Tirion, Highmane, Fel Reaver, etc.
SECRET KEEPER ACTIVATE WHEN ARCANE KEYSMITH FULL
The thing though is that in the overwhelming majority of your games you won't get a hand full of secrets, let alone a hand with multiple secrets AND secretkeeper. So is it time to stop playing the more aggressive lists that were built for a metagame that no longer exists? I think so.įor those wondering I've been playing exclusively Midrange Secrets on the ladder this season and although I'm only 50 games in I'm 35-15 with a secretkeeper-less list (sitting at rank 8.3 right now). The only deck that has gotten more powerful since the Warsong nerf that Secret Keeper is good against is Face Hunter, and in that matchup you can't support her with Divine Favor anyway so you're not gaining too significant either and Sludge Belcher has the potential to win that matchup almost singlehandedly if left unanswered.
The decks that have risen to prominence such as other secret paladins, midrange / aggro druid, and midrange paladin are all decks that are challenged significantly by the inclusions of Aldor Peacekeeper and Sludge Belcher due to their ability to create massive swings in the mid game. Since this metagame shift the most common matchups you can expect to see are other aggressive midrange decks basically decks where Divine Favor is of relatively poor value and Secret Keeper is easily challenged in the early game making her less of a threat.
Because of this lack of Patron Warrior on the ladder there has also been a stark decrease in the amount of Handlock and Control Warrior, two decks where Divine Favor was at its most powerful.
Since the nerf to Warsong Commander, Patron Warrior has shifted away from being a combo deck and is now a more midrangey tempo deck that is significantly less powerful.
