I'll point this out for you now as well, if they both die at the same time two of them spawn.

I'm using Warlock right now since Mage got kinda boring. It's also the class that I've found most fun to play.

That's good, i have always heard that the best way to get good ranks is to play the class you like the best, worked for me. Warlock is pretty good right now since there are many different types of strong deck right now, there's handlock, demonlock, zoo, demon zoo, renolock, combolock,malylock thaddiusloc, Etc. I dunno what your card collection looks like but i heard that a cheap zoo deck could get you high ranks somewhat easily, i wonder if that remains true.
Curve gods slay any deck. Maybe check out Dog's Elise Priest, it's pretty cheap if that's what you mean by cost-effective.
Playing Raptor Rogue against Control Priest. He goes first. Plays Turn 1 Zombie Chow, Turn 2 Museum Curator. He does this before I can play a Turn 2 Haunted Creeper.
On his turn, instead of popping the creeper and killing one of the ghost spiders, he just goes face?
Turn 3 I play Unearthed Raptor. "Thank you".
I ended up winning the game of course. Priest ain't gonna win if you just let me set it up like that bro.

Midrange Patron still works great as an anti-aggro deck, it's just worse against any Control deck with AOE clears now.
Elise Anti Aggro Priest, Midrange Paladin and Midrange Grim Patron Warrior.
As you can tell only one of these is an actual anti aggro deck. The other two are basically Midrange deck that just also can curve out well or tempo well enough to react to aggro with their own minions.

it comes out first due to battlecry I believe
Yes. Minions generated by battlecries are actually considered to be generated before the main minion hits the board. Battlecries in general are supposed to be resolved before the minion hits the board and so that behavior is a consequence of that. The animation is deceptive here but it is working as intended.

that feel when you win with gromm on board and dream + slam in hand for exact lethal
hehe, reminds me of when I had a death's bite equipped and no board or cards in hand. My opponent had 5 health, a 1 hp taunt, and a bunch of minions. I topdicked arcanite reaper to overwrite my DB, removing the taunt and giving exact lethal.
That tells me again how deep the Warrior class is, I've won 150+ games as Warrior and never even knew that overwriting a Death's Bite triggered the 'rattle. In hindsight, though, I'm sure I've been in a couple situations where that would have been the right call.
That play has happened quite a number of times with pre-nerf Patron for me. Not so much with Midrange Patron since you no longer have the big OTK combo.
"I will fight with honor"
"Well Met"
Turn 1 Secret Keeper or a Secret
Turn 2 Knife Juggler/Minibot or double secrets to buff Secret Keeper
Turn 3 Muster for Battle
Turn 4 Shredder
Turn 5 Loatheb or more Secrets or Divine Favor which gets the MC
Turn 6 Mysterious Challenger
Turn 7 Dr Balanced
Turn 8 Tirion, very rarely some dude puts in Ragnaros that hits face for lethal
"Happy feast of Winterveil"

Is there an in-universe/plot reason why paladins have secrets? You'd think they'd be like the purger of secrets.
The only secret paladins have is that their order keeps getting taken over by the undead and/or demons, but at this point that's not really a secret anymore.
I guess you could make arguments for characters like Tirion/Bolvar, but neither of them are secret based in Hearthstone.

I felt the Paladin order was always at least semi culti-ish. They did give rise to the Scarlet Crusade after all, and their mythos strongly evokes the crusader aesthetic, which can be tied to the concept of "holy mysteries".
Of course very few of the paladin secrets actually express this notion but perhaps this is more the fault of the designers?

Hunters are really the only class that makes sense because of Traps. I can get why Mages kind of work but it's a stretch because they don't do anything preemptive in WoW, not that I remember anyway. Paladins are the same way in WoW, they don't have anything that could be seen as a preemptive measure. What I mean by that is they don't do anything before hand that counters things where are Hunters actually do place traps.
That being said, I do like Avenge as an idea since it fits the theme of Retribution. Same for Eye for an Eye but last I remember that was always a horrible talent.
Hell, I feel like Rogues would make more sense in how they use Stealth and Openers over Mages and Paladins.

Yep. People hate Secret Paladin so much they'll even try to use Warcraft lore to get it nerf'd.
I was playing tempo mage the other day, and the paladin I was facing was top decking. I had a fair number of cards, and he plays divine favour, which would have probably won him the game, but I had counterspell up. If I was a smoker, I would have lit up a cigar after that because damn was that nice.

That card should be 4 mana, it's too OP at 3 mana considering the types of paladin decks that are played.

If only ramp Druid could be viable again. I always loved that style of play.
is midrange druid on the outs?
Hell no.

Is there anywhere that I can read about all the different deck types? Sometimes I'll read something like Control Warrior, and while it's easy enough to figure out what it means, I'd still like to read exactly what it's all about. Same with all the midrange decks.

Going to assume smash the face deathrattle decks and freeze mage will dominate this.
I will go for dagger, that card counters paladin hard
Ez daggers, you can spend 2 mana to clear 4 mana worth of tokens every two turns, remove piss bubbles/get down with a dagger you made earlier when you were floating mana, the tempo gain is off the charts. One of the reasons why Rogue is so good against Paladin in arena.
I guess it sucks a bit against Eboladin but that's extremely rare nowadays and not even that bad in the end. Fireblast is also a downgrade over Druid hero power in this matchup, the ability to proc get down without using minions is so crucial.

Hell yeah. This helps a lot.
