It is still a secret mechanically, and not even the first to trigger at the start of your own turn (recall Competitive Spirit, and Plagiarize has pretty much the same trigger). Aside from that, the opponent won't know what secret it is and they may try to play around other secrets as a result, so it's still 'secret' in that sense. It will also activate secret synergies, which looks to be the primary purpose of the card since it practically guarantees you'll have a secret active next turn.

On the theme side of things, perjury means to lie in court, and thus keep the truth hidden. So it probably earns the 'secret' name more than any that have come before.

I believe I saw somebody on the dev team remark how the cards for this Mini-Set were being designed in December 2021, so they can never quite properly predict/react to the current meta with those (at most by changing the cost/stats if it's right before the release). 

Looks like I was wrong about the Inquisitor demon's class (but was right about the mini-set not giving a poop about the meta).

Arson Accusation scarcely has a real limitation; an enemy-only targeting clause would have been stricter than what it has and that's usually irrelevant for Warlock. It's an excellent indication of how far Assassinate has fallen, especially since four-mana-kill-anything isn't even a must-play and aggro can pass it by.

Drop your Location and Imp-oster on the same turn and you get two buffed imps. Winmore at the cost of having a situational card. I can see it.

Arson Accusation is actually pretty good and makes me wonder if we might get to a point where Questlock makes some sort of return (perhaps as an Imp hybrid with the Jailer on top just for the memes?)

Habeas corpses could be neat but there'S no such thing as a Deathrattle Warlock so I don't see how that would work.

Imposter feels kind of pointless unless you're insisting on going for Dark Alley Pact, Other than that, there's not really any Imp that you'd want to transform into because they all cost 3 or less. The only exception being a Library buffed Imp of course, but I'M not sure that'S enough reason to justify running it.

Arson Accusaton loks pretty weak, but it's real strength is that it has a fire tag. It really only has synergy with Multicaster now, but one of the spell schools Warlock "specializes" in is fire, so maybe one day there will be good synergy with it.

Habeas Corpses would go great in my N'Zoth Warlock deck I haven't played in years lol

Weak. Yes, your opponent semi-skips his turn but with 4 mana 2/6 you semi-skip your turn

Seeing what you typed, this secret can make halkias playable

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around perjury, but I think it's bad.

Everything is trash or broken in HS of late -- no inbetween. No subtelty, no cleverness, nothing that feels good for the opponent even if it makes them lose. I get to play and you don't.

The worst thing about Theotar was that, as soon as I saw it, I knew that its only future would be complete nerfing annihilation (Illucia) that comes much too late or even more Theotar. Once the last patch's buffs were confirmed, the only option left was the latter.

At this point, Hearthstone desperately needs a keyword or trait that allows for hand disruption counterplay.

Oh, I haaaaaate this. Way too cheap for the effect. Seriously, a card like this shouldn't exist.

It's actually good but Rogue doesn't need it. Quest Rogue has better removal options, and Thief Rogue doesn't really hurt in terms of removal either, so there's no real point to this, especially since it's useless if your opponent only has a single big minion in play.

Well, I think it's kinda stupid. The idea of secrets in general - it triggers when opponent did something specific: plays a minion, plays a spell, goes face etc.

And if secret doesn't care of opponent's action, why the hell it is a secret?

It's look's like Demon hunter's sigil: do something at the start of your next turn. So it's more like a sigil rather than a secret

Either-way, I'm not happy with this taking up a Legendary slot.

*shrugs* More disruption is more disruption, but did it need to exist and take up a Legendary?

On the contrary, if this is actually good, would you want it to be played twice per game?

I'd rather it didn't exist at all, is my point :P

It replaces the awful Kidnap as the third Secret in the build, which should be enough for the Secret shell to be a consideration, although whether that's enough to make it playable is another story.

"They have no idea what this is and neither do I"

Isn't Stenographer just Frostwolf Warmaster...but worse? Like...it's a strictly more expensive version of a neutral card from 2 expansions ago that didn't even see play when Rogue had a deck whose entire gameplan was to play like 20 cards a turn and all it gets as an upgrade is Rush. It's basically just Umbral Owl except trash and Gnoll is better anyways

I'm not sure how to evaluate this one, but I don't feel like she is great. The bigger the hand the more impact it has, theoretically, but if they can "chain" the left-most or right-most like you can chain regular Outcast, then really all you're doing is messing up the order they play stuff in. As in, if they play the left-most card and now can play the new left-most card, you haven't locked them out of playing XYZ; they'll just play it ZXY or however it falls in their hand. Could be important against Combos, sure, but if they're just tempo-ing or dumping their hand it might not mean much.

Edit: Okay, thinking about it more, my real concern is the lack of a middle-ground. Either you lock them out like Brandon suggested above me, or you more-or-less whiff on it and they play their cards. Either-way, I'm not happy with this taking up a Legendary slot.

People really seem to be underrating this. It's basically Okani except you can't really play around it and if it connects well you basically lose an entire turn.
