Just wanted to put this out there. We all know some people hack the game because they can't win on their own. So I am gonna call out a user so people know when they see them. It was user Divertirme. They had a 90 card deck with Chandra sleeves on it. At the end of the game, I had 24 life and a Brisela on the board. He had 10 life and nothing on the board with 2 cards in hand. The game then froze a suspiciously long time, and then I magically lost the game. Just a heads up to people out there

This has happened to me as well. I don't remember the user. After a minute the game crashed with a fatal error and when I logged back in rank had been reduced. It was particularly frustrating because I had fought back from a losing board, cast a game changing spell and only needed to attack for lethal.
I had something similar happen to me. I play duels on my iPad and while playing a ranked versus match I thought my opponent was trying to wait me out, because they would take forever to play on their turn. Then on one turn after my opponent's timer ran out the game never progressed the match to my turn. It just stayed permanently on their turn while they didn't do anything. I left the game on the screen for an hour or so to see if it would come up with an error or not, but it never did and eventually I had no choice but to either concede the match or relaunch the app to continue playing (both actions result in an automatic loss).
I wasn't too angry about it because it was early in the new season and my ranking was only a 4 or 5 at the time, but I thought it was strange how the game never gave me an error message.
Duels has a metric ton of bugs and client hangs.
the game freezes like that on me both when I'm winning or losing or even at the very start of a match... happened on second or third turn.
It hasn't happened once or twice, it happens at least once every other day.
I don't really think this was a hack, it's far more likely it was just a random glitch.
Thanks to the people who posted on this. I see these things happen a lot on there. I just originally posted on this because it was actually a hard fought, well played game on both sides, but the moment I could get lethal it just randomly glitches? I don't think so. This guys deck also had ridiculous perfect answers every turn and perfect mana base too which is highly unlikely in a deck way over 60 cards. I just happened to pull the one card in my deck that could turn the tides. There are definitely a super high number of people who stall out their turns to try to get you to quit. But I don't understand that, because it can't be fun for them either because their sitting there waiting too. I just wish there was a way to weed out the cheaters. And they should also add a feature that if your system crashes you take a loss, because way too many people pull the "crash my own system after mulliganing into a great hand so I am guaranteed not to take a loss, but can still let the computer win for me" bull crap. I would gladly take the occasional loss from my app crashing if it meant the cheaters had to play out their games for real and not just crash their system 20 times in row to get a huge rank.

Yes, I have experienced this MANY times. What I did a couple of times, I played Thought-Knot Seer and MANY a time their hand was all land. What I do, if an opponent decides to run to timer, when it is my turn, I do the same back to them. More often than not, they either start playing properly or concede.
Edit: I've also known of some players (mostly from one...certain federation) questioning players for their PC Specs, ISP and email address, connection speed etc etc.) That sounds as dodgy as anything..
I remember I was playing a duel against someone (forgot name), and they had one of those dual lands out. He tapped it and got all 2 mana it could give, not just one. weird.

this is really weird and does happen.
a lot of times I encounter people with 90 cards deck, that weirdly enough play crazy consistent matches.
I usually credit that to random luck, but yeah, hacking is plausible.
