A 2/4 Charge is arguably too strong as a solo minion without any other abilities (mostly arguable because Huffer exists, but he's also random andneasy to kill with ahis gu2 hearanlteeh). Even one trigger makes it an immediate 3/5 with Charge, which is worth about 5 mana on top of destroying an opponents card in the Secret it counters which itself adds just more value and lets it take out at least 2 cards by itself. On top of that Deathstalker Rexxar exists, and this is under 5 mana and is therefore a possible pull, so "It's a Legendary" doesn't really excuse its power level.
It's very much a tech card, and tech cards need to have some downside to them to prevent them from being auto-includes in every deck. It's why Mind Control Tech got removed from the Arena, since it has decent stats and a really powerful ability if you can get it off that caused massive swings. If you saw it in your Arena pick, you usually took it.
A 2/4 with Charge is too strong even if its ability never goes off to really balance it as a tech option.
Honestly you could make it a 2/3 Charge and it would probably be more fair as a punishing card (if a little understated. I think people would undervalue it a little), or make it a 2/4 without Charge so your opponent has a chance to deal with it before you destroy their secretsand buff it to high heaven (although you could still give it Charge through Tundra Rhino, which is a workaround but is alright because it takes 2 cards and 8 mana to do).
