Most Blatant Arena Deck Customer?

So I just fought a straight up Standard level Protoss Priest deck in arena… as my first match at 0-0. I know in years past people would “buy” arena accounts with busted decks; having taken screenshots of the cards naturally in their draft the likelihood of this deck getting drafted naturally is incredibly low.

Before I lost in this 11 turn game, account “TheZyr” played 3 Photon Cannons, two Sentries, two Chrono Boosts, a Warp Gate, and two Motherships all naturally in their deck before I was overwhelmed and lost to a generated Colossus. He also had two Hot coals, a Funhouse Mirror, and a Bayfin Bodybuilder, creating an extremely cohesive defensive shell outside to allow his drafted Protoss wincons to come online. I cannot stress enough how unlikely, in a fairly random 30-card draft, that this guy gets not only so many Protoss cards, but also synergistic control tools to allow him to play those cards in the first place. I also have a HS replay that I can share if asked.

Is this guy doing something Blizzard’s banned accounts for in the past? Is this account buying 12-win arena decks? I don’t mind this loss but this deck is very suspicious.

And you drafting a “Standard level Protoss Priest” supposedly isn’t. Most of you seeing cheaters misunderstand that low probability does not mean 0 probability.

Also there’s the potent effect of: if someone happens to draft a good deck: they will win more and they will be seen more because they will be alive for more.

the arena is the highest apotheosis of the criminal scam works present in hearthstone, and I’m talking about CRIMINAL, many governments have already investigated hearthstone

Or, some players are better than you, and sometimes you lose.
