This is not an invitation for certain people under every post to say nobody cared about Duels or Mercs to also bitch under this post, but I just played Duels with the new bucket system and it's a big pile of dogshit.
"What happened to the buckets," you may ask?
Even though they were usually terribly unreliable and weren't compatible with several deck archetypes, the bucket system now no longer offers you cards based on your deck. It's just random shit from a specific expansion or some "Murderous Intent" bucket with random garbage in there. Basically Arena with more steps.
Instead of adding new Passives and Buckets to support new archetypes, they said "fuck it" altogether and added 4 DK-only Passives and demolished the bucket system. Coming from a long-time Duels fan, I'm not playing that shit anymore. You probably shouldn't waste your time seeing how bad it is either.
As I understand it they intended the buckets to still be generated based on the contents of your deck.
Even if it is broken now, I would expect it to be fixed in the future. Unfortunately Duels doesn't get as much love as other modes, so maybe it will take some time for that to happen.
There's an issue where you can draft Prince Renathal in the buckets. He doesn't give you 40 cards, but he does grant you 40 health. Not so much an issue after a few runs, but if you draft him in your first or second bucket it does give a bit of a cheeky advantage

Duels is by far the most fun mode on Hearthstone. Will keep playing
So duels has.. kicked the bucket then?
