    As someone who uses this card constantly, I have to agree that it is overpowered and needs balancing (will it ever happen? probably not.)

    Going off of Arcane Intellect and Sprint, I have a couple of ideas of how they could do this.

    1. Balance other Card Draw based cards around DF. This is very hard to do as DF can draw you anywhere from 1 to 10 cards, and would only really work if you were to increase the card draw of these cards by a good deal or decrease their mana costs, which is also walking a thin line. Possible Changes: Arcane Intellect = 2 Mana for 2 cards, Sprint = 5 Mana for 4 cards (5 Cards?)

    2. Increase Mana cost for Divine Favor. 4 Mana for this effect would perhaps STILL be overpowered but would at least keep it more in line. Increasing the card to 5 Mana would probably kill it completely.

    3. Alter the card's effect. My thinking is make it so the card draws you between 1-5 cards, either completely independent of the # of cards in your opponents hand, or having better chance at more cards the opponent has (And vice versa). This scale can be tweaked by those much more experienced at making cards balanced, but I think it may be one of the better options. 

     EDIT:

    It's also worth noting that Arcane Intellect is a pretty weak card for it's cost already. Perhaps a combination of 2 and 3 would be good

    It may have 1 more attack, but the Divine shield on Argent Commander makes me wonder why you would ever use this.

    I've been using this in place of Leeroy in my Aggro Paladin deck, and I'm pretty happy with his uses. I can use him turn 6 to remove a taunt or deal some nice face damage (if nothing's on the board) and still have that awesome Divine shield. Sadly, once I get Leeroy this guy will probably have to go.
