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.
