I have found that many players use programs that allow you to suppress animations usually in a combination with deck tracker.
Well, deck tracker can be replaced by memory and this is cheating only for fools who do not remember cards they have played.
But is suppressing of animation intended? Isn’t that cheating? And if not - shouldn there be an official toggle to turn off the animations?
I am a phone player and I feel myself proud that I reached rank 1 for quite a long time during last season. But there are so many potential decks which are unplayable with animations - and I can say: If I used such cheating programs I would be first again.
But I feel it like something immoral and forbidden.
Should I install it and start to play on computer?
This is starting to edge toward the darker end of the gray area, but it isn’t as if you can’t cancel animations by clicking.
It is cheating.
Some players got banned for using them to play properly the old “snip snap warlock”.
So, don’t use them, don’t even instal them.

I dont think its cheating if deck trackers are ok
Today they use infinite ignite. Well, good to know that this is not supported.
For me this is not a gray area but the dark and forbidden one.
But on the other hand I am not the type of denunciator.
I don’t want to point a finger at the culprit but perhaps I would like to let them know that this is something prohibited and dishonest.
Yes, they tell me “I don’t care”… but perhaps not all of them.
I play that deck too in wild.
It is very possible to win in a very fast way, without any program.
I usually have time to win before the rope starts: the damage grows quickly if you just play one ignite (not both), so in less than 10 casts you normally win
Ginger: Of course I have a proof, but as I have stated above - I don’t want to point a finger at the culprit. Although he confessed in battlenet chat.
DLMdD: I play one too… but it is a very card listing variant and sometimes I miss seconds… and I am a phone player… it is a bit slower than on PC. Perhaps I can try on PC.
I wouldn’t consider it cheating since it should already be an option in-game (like deck trackers) and animations have been an issue for a long time especially when your opponent’s animations effectively skip your turn because they take too long… had that happen to me against D6 warlock and garrote rogue.
Ah, you play on the phone! There I can’t even play the shaman spell “lightning storm” witout roping my entire turn 
On PC, ignite is very easy to play without crazy APM abilities

I think as other people mentioned, there’s not much official on or against it, but blizzard previously temp banned people for a week or something for using it with snip snap warlock. I’m not sure about now, or if they’d do it again, but i mean i’d play on the safe side, if you care about the account personally, but if you don’t care, do whatever i guess. It’s your acc not mine.
If it’s something that isn’t available via an application or memory/pend and paper then it’s definitely cheating.
The best and way to deal with animations is to just que up other actions while you wait for them to complete.
Ex) if you shadow step a card you want to replay, attack with or play another minion while you are waiting for the card to flip back into hand.
Using another program seems like cheating to me.
Yes, it is nothing you cannot achieve with a better hardware and clicks to played cards. This is cheating only for fools who forget about it.
Tell that to those who were banned for using it while playing SnipLock.
Feels like cheating to me
They should just implement a thing where if you disconnect 3 or more times in a game, you automatically lose.
Problem solved.
Supports that animation(and device performance) should not be a winning factor.
