A new Hearthstone game mode – Duels – was released in Darkmoon Faire expansion. Duels is basically a PvP version of Dungeon Run and other similar content previously limited to single player. You start by picking your Hero, Hero Power and Signature Treasure, then build a 15 cards deck to take into rogue-like adventure against other players.
As you play more games, your deck gets stronger and stronger thanks to card drafting & picking extra powerful treasures or passives. However, your initial Hero Power & Signature Treasure choice still make a huge difference. In this guide, we’ll list all of those which are currently available.

How to Unlock More HPs / Treasures, Duels Seasons
In the early access, we only had one Hero Power and one Signature Treasure available per class. The number was bumped to two Hero Powers & three Signature Treasures with the release of Darkmoon Faire pre-patch. But that’s still not all! In a mid-expansion patch (we don’t know the exact date yet), we’ll get a full unlock of the final version of Season 1 – Wizards Duels. Each Hero will then have access to three Hero Powers and six Signature Treasures.
However, not all of them are unlocked immediately. Only the first Hero Power and first Signature Treasures are free from the get-go. In order to unlock the rest of them, you need to collect a certain amount of cards from either Scholomance Academy or Darkmoon Faire. Requirements are the same across the board – so if you unlock a second Hero Power for one Hero, you will have it unlocked for all of them, for example.
But that’s not how Duels will look forever. The entire Hero roster alongside all the Hero Powers and Signature Treasures will change every season. Which means that every season should look drastically different. Season 1 – Wizard Duels – opens up with instructors known from Scholomance Academy. We expect seasons to change every few months, possibly around expansion launches, but we don’t have any specific information yet.

i didn’t understand why put the wild card, now i need to craft that cards for play duels, and are just for duesl or wild(i dont play wild!!!).
i like the duels mode but i cant play just for this.
Actually, a lot of decks use a lot of Scholomance cards. But it’s true that you might want/need to craft some extra cards. But it should be limited. Also see https://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/best-duels-starter-decks-for-all-classes/
Will you put inicial decklist?
I just tried two runs. This mode is really hard, it’s a totally different game!
Is it only me, or do you also face only Mozaki with a higher winrate?
To be fair, Mozaki’s Hero Power is really good, so that might be why you see her more often.
I’ve had pretty good luck building a Slate face Hunter deck to chew her up early on as long as you’re doing what you can to avoid giving her easy one health targets you can run her down pretty fast
