Humble blessings is absolutely broken in duels. Any card that can reliably put lethal on the board turn 3 every single game needs to be fixed.

Yeah, I think it comes down way to early. Should at the very least be 5 mana.

Humble blessings is the single card keeping Paladin uncontested as the top class to play. You can pick any of the hero powers and still use HB, that’s how broken it is.
There is a small chance you can lose with it early, I just did it with out drawing my 1 draw holy card minion or the humble blessing with a full mulligan. Both were in my last 4 cards.
The ONLY way to beat an HB pally is for them not to draw and use it by T5. T5 is about when every other class can build up some kind of defense… usually.
It’s really just a very OP card. It would be a great treasure. It should cost more like 6, 7 or 8. Align it with cards that take massive pre-turn setups to even get 3 to 4 8/8s on board. This is a T3 full board of 3/3s.
Turn 1: Holy Spell finder dude
Turn 2: Coin + HB
Turn 3: Either of the Onyxia’s to get 7x 3/3s on board
Turn 4: either 21 damage or Alextraza to take 40 hp down to 15 and use the remaining 5 minions on board to OTK.
OTK; that’s a thing with this deck. Ridonk.
100% all of this. And the fix is REALLY easy, just a bump in mana cost. Even at 4 it delays your ability to turn 2 coin, turn 3 fill the board. The card gets worse the later the match just given you only have the one tutor and you have to avoid every loot pool with holy spells if you want the tutor to work.
The reason many of the treasures are balanced is because they improve over time (Scrapmetal, deathstrider, the big tree dude). Blessings at 3 mana is like scrapmetal with 6 bombs game one.
A lot of things in duel’s need changing for it to be a mode worth playing for fun. It’s a great mode for farming gold though.
Quel delar and wish are the biggest thing that come to mind that also need fixes.
Players should also start at 25 health, too easy to cheese. And divine spirit is banned but alexstraza isn’t?
To complete quel’delar or get wish though you are already deep into rounds where people have either crap or completely OP decks. I agree on 25 health, if you face bomb warrior round 1 right now it’s really tough when 4 bombs kill you.
