What it does
"Secret council" isn't a standard Magic keyword or ability—you won't find it in the comprehensive rules or on any official card. It may be a misremembered name, a custom/homebrew mechanic, or confusion with something else entirely.
You might be thinking of "Council's dilemma" or the will of the council mechanics from sets like Conspiracy, where players vote on outcomes (for example, choosing modes or distributing counters). Those involve open or sometimes secret voting, which fits a multiplayer Commander environment well since they create political tension and table-wide interaction.
If "Secret council" is a custom card from a specific Mythicwyrm set or a playgroup's homebrew, I'd need the actual rules text to explain it accurately. Could you share the card's wording? Otherwise, I'd recommend double-checking the name—it's possible it's a variant of the voting mechanics described above.
