It is not broken, but it would probably be more balanced as a 4-mana card instead.

 Why 4 mana,? That would change the card for the worse no reason. It's only useful against one archetype of decks and only works when you are behind. Even at 2 mana it'd be very strong but hardly an auto include since you have to be behind to use it and lose tempo. At 3  mana you at least get a chance to try play some of the cards you draw. Factor in over draw into fatigue and the card really just seams better than it is. 3 Mana is a healthy place for Divine Favor and it's been this way for ages.

I hate this card. Battle Rage was nerfed (long before patron) and Divine Favor wasn't. :/

Bump. This isn't a fucking whining thread, like some of you inbreds have assumed. It's a thread that I used to start discussion and gather opinions. I've succeeded in that, though some of your replies are garbage. Stop coming at me for making a thread that had the simple intention of sparking discussion.

Card is completely broken and here is why:

Against any Control/ Midrange Build = Pay 3, draw 3 - 6 cards. 

Against agro mirrors = Pay 3 , draw 1-3 cards.

The worst case scenarios are equal to Arcane Intellect, and the best scenarios are " You win the game"

Retarded card. NERF NOW.

Quote from Trinity809 >>

no, the worst case scenario is pay 3, draw 0 cards. and not every midrange deck horts cards. this cards was fine the last... since release. battlerage was "op" in patron too, but not the card itself was broken, the synergies were, before that, nobody used this card, ever. divine favor is ONLY that good nowadays because paladin had nearly every expansion stick an op card up his ass. in classic, or even naxx, there was the shockadin, which you just had to whirlwind-effect of the board 1-2 times and you won, and the control with only LoH as card draw and slow as hell.

did i have to be quoten 2 times? :D right, this is what i ment, great, but still balanced.

Quote from JSteele1 >>

Divine Favor is very easily my most hated card in the history of card games, and the single card I most hate losing to. It effectively punishes you for NOT overextending and it helps ebola decks exist. Im not sure if its objectively completely broken, but if the decision were up to me I would create a banlist in HS just to ban this very card.

Fuck you, Divine Favor.

If that were the case, aggro paly wouldn't even be viable as an archetype. Hunter has their hero power, mage has their insane burst damage spells, paly has what? Sure, they have the best buff cards in the game, but relying on them causes you to expend your hand very quickly(you can see this if you try playing the deck without DF) and the deck simply gets outmatched by any sort of control decks.

But yeah, you are totally entitled to loving/hating the card. I have similar feelings for all of druid's mana acceleration cards even though I only find innervate close to be broken(unless you find it fun to get shredders played on turn one on you because the game decided to give you the dick).

Quote from JSteele1 >>

Notice how I never said the card was "broken" or "overpowered" or "extremely essential to all paladins ever". All I said is that personally I absolutely despise that motherfucker, I just dont like the way it works, Im the type of guy who doesnt like being punished for doing nothing. Thats all, no need to get salty. Also, no, Aggro Paladin doesnt have other draw options, at least ones even close to the effectiveness of Divine Favor.

Quote from JSteele1 >>

Yeah I stopped reading at the part where you recommended Holy Wrath.

Yeah sure fine ok

I am a player who likes to play control and midrange decks and i have been punished almost everytime because of this card. This isnt supposed to be like that. My opponent can take advantage of my playstyle and i dont have an answer to it so we can say that its broken.

Quote from Kunigunde53 >>

 If it just cycles itself, its not draw. Instead of the card that cycles itself, you could have a different random card from your deck, and you can guarantee that by cutting that pseudo-draw from your deck.

 

Quote from Kunigunde53 >>

 Blessing of Wisdomis too inconsistent, usually just cycles itself.

 

 Hammer of Wrathnot draw, merely cycles itself

 

Holy Wrath contender for most useless card in the entire game. also no draw, just cycles itself, apart from being terrible.

 

Solemn Vigil finally, draw. needs to cost 3 to be playable.

 

Lay on Hands too slow

 

Do you see what all of them have in common? While only some are total crap in any deck, all are crap in a pala deck that is not very slow. None of them can ever draw 5 cards or more for just 3 mana.

Divine favor punishes opponent for holding cards like starving buzzard unleash punished opponent for having a big board. Except divine favor is worse cause you can't play around it. Give me old buzzard anyday

You serious? That card draw was way worse for hunter, which was only balanced by the fact that it eventually ran out of steam if it didn't kill you early. Except, it didn't run out of steam because starving buzzard. It was also way more reliable and consistent. Divine favor won't get anywhere near the draw on average that the old unnerfed starving buzzard would reliably get hunters most games. And if they do, it's still easier to deal with getting that against Paladin today than it was for facing Hunter back then. You could make a potential exception for secret pally, but then that would be because of Mysterious Challenger, and not Divine Favor. And even then, I would argue that Hunter back then was worse.

Quote from Mister_Smith >>

It's a classic counter card that only seems unfair because aggro seems so unfair.

Exactly, in fact during Ladder I even dropped Divine Favor from my deck because I found it was way more often a dead card than not. But the only matches I ever had were mirrors and hunters, maybe the occasional druid.

Quote from LefticusRighteous >>

In the Face versions it's a good card, but I also wouldn't run it in Secrets.
