You realize this was a mediocre card before rush paladin (secret pally) was a huge thing?  No one complained until recently. I'd say suck it up. 

I have a hatred toward paladin but divine favour is in no way OP or in need of a nerf. If they use it turn 3, their beginning game tempo is killed, if they use it later, you shouldn't have enough cards in your hand to give them more than 2 draws. When both players are in top deck mode, divine favour is dead. Learn to play against it.

this card is just broken in every rush paladin, punishes control decks too hard..

Can guys please stop nerfing all the cards? I mean come on guys if you start nerfing every card, you can also put 30 wisps in your deck DansGame

The only card that can be considered to be nerfed is the mysterious challenger since it is a huge tempo swing since secret paladin is already strong and only hunter has an answer to him.

I mean personally, I still don't like Dr. Boom (ask myself how this card could have been missed since months) since the rng of this card is insane!

Only strong cards: Mysterious Challenger and Dr. Balanced. All the other cards are just fine.

I don't find broken is the right term. Cards, which punish you for simply playing the game should not exist. These include Divine Favor, Unleash the Hounds and Frothing Berserker. The first punishes you for having cards in your hand and the other two for playing minions.What am I supposed to do if I can't empty my hand like my opponent? Or if I need to play minions to kill him next turn in order to win?

Cards like that should not exist in the first place.

 this is a very limiting train of thought, like this you could remove Vanish, Molten Giant, Clockwork Giant, Sea Giant, Goblin Sapper, any aoe, Tree of Life , Mind Control Tech, etc. etc.

It's fine it's just another card that you have to play around.

No. The card was completely fine before paladin got things like muster,minibot and MC. Depending on how badly implemented the nerf is(and so far blizzard's track record in terms of nerfs hasn't been too great) it could make any sort of aggressive paladin unplayable, which would just suck. The paladin cards that clearly need a nerf ASAP are minibot and MC. Minibot would be a perfectly balanced and good card if it was a 2/1 with divine shield and as for MC, I would actually not be sad if they just deleted the card from the game or changed the battlecry to your hero takes 30 damage.

Also for your information, the optimal/close to optimal secret paladin builds don't run DF.

its only broken because of the meta.  

you wouldnt play this in a control meta.

Yeah batanete summed it up. It only gets you the "dream" 5+ draws vs. control decks. In fact, in aggro meta you don't play the card, because you hardly get anything off it.

The only way to cancel Divine Favor and UtH is counterspell and I don't even have control over it. Not to mention that Divine Favor draws you cards which is insane and UtH lets you summon many minions at once.

And again if you can't empty your hand how do you play around divine favor?

I say blood imp needs a nerf. It gets warlocks infinite value over the course of the game if you don't draw into aoe? OP!!

The thing is you can play around a card like DF or Unleash the Hounds the same way you can play around cards like Flamestrike and BGH.

Don't hoard cards versus paladins, and if your deck just does that like Freeze Mage or CW then maybe the card is designed to counter your deck. People complain about it because it does wreck control, but it's garbage versus any other deck that plays a lot of cards. The same way a card like Mind Control wrecks a control mirror but is probably not going to be played versus an aggressive deck. Or a card like Shield Block is good versus aggro but a liability versus some control matchups.

Just because a card is strong versus your deck doesn't make it broken or doesn't mean it should be nerfed. It's when a card is strong versus EVERY deck  that a card should be looked at as requiring a balance.

I think the real problem is people hoarding cards in their hands. Hands should be nerfed so you can only hold 5 cards at one time. This way, divine favour would not be exploited in such a way. Discuss.

That's a terrible idea!  I mean no offense, but do you have any clue what mill decks would do with a 5 card hand? Believe me, divine favor would be the least of your worries. The amount of card burn through overdraw would be insane.

Only broken cuz the secret pally deck...

You are proabably right. If it were played in another pally archetype, it would not draw anywhere near as many cards. Maybe they should ban cards from being used in secret pally.
