Perfectly fine stats and a potentially pretty good upside, I'd be very surprised if this sees no play at all. However, not all paladin secrets actually benefit from this; Autodefense Matrix and Repentance simply function as normal. Let's look at the remaining secrets:
Eye for an Eye is probably not going to be used unless it gets discovered, and the main source Hydrologist rotates out. In some very fringe situations the double could be relevant, but most of the time it's probably just 1-2 extra damage; there's a reason nobody puts this card in their deck on purpose.
Hidden Wisdom is a pretty good refill against certain decks, it might be a 1-of, and it's a very strong double. However, if you opponent plays 3 cards they would probably remove Rhyssa.
Noble Sacrifice is the classic "pretty good" paladin secret, and doubling it yields a free 2/1, which is defiintely enough to justify Rhyssa.
Redemption is probably good enough in a Bellringer Sentry deck, and doubling it should generally be at least as good as Noble Sacrifice.
Overall, I think this is a strong card, and I think a paladin deck with secrets is likely to be included in the tierlists.
Edit: I somehow missed Never Surrender!, but that's an incredibly strong one to double, essentially negating a Flamestrike for you. Yeah this card is incredible!
So...
*Redemption summons two copies
*Never Surrender! gives +4 Health to all friendly minions
*Noble Sacrifice summons two 2/1s
*Avenge gives +3/+2 twice
*Competitive Spirit gives +2/+2 to all friendly minions
*Getaway Kodo adds two copies
*Hidden Wisdom draws four cards
*Eye for an Eye does damage twice
*Repentance, Sacred Trial, and Autodefense Matrix do nothing extra.
In Wild, the additions of Avenge and Competitive Spirit add greatly to Rhyssa’s surviveability, and stuff like Mad Scientist and Mysterious Challenger makes this pretty damn solid indeed.
This card is amazing. Combined with Bellringer Sentry you can get insane value of 1 mana secrets.
This is going to add a lot of value to secret paladin decks. You can even duplicate it if you play Getaway Kodo and have no other minions in play.
