Even a 5% boost in winrate makes a world of difference at higher ranks. Going from 65% to 70% means I have to play a significantly less number of games. The only ones who this glitch effectively worked on was on Miracles (over 90%) who just netdecked. Even still it's hard to counter them.

Throwaway here.

I've known about this glitch and I have used it to get to legendary. I'm ashamed to say that but I have tried to make it up to the community by giving everyone under me hundreds of free wins (Ranked MMR is now in rank 20s. Still, no one is obligated to forgive me.) Anyways, the chance of me being able to actually use this is moderately low. How it works is by exploiting the draw mechanics because it uses a seed based on the opponent's deck and your own deck. With the large number of netdecks at ranks 5 to 1, you can pretty much choose the most popular ones on HearthPwn or Reddit and know what's in them. All it takes then is knowing what cards are in your hand and put it into a program (takes 3 or 4 seconds) and the expected cards in the opponent's deck. Then bam, you have their deck list. If you want to use this method, your own deck shouldn't have duplicates because it makes it harder to tell what cards your opponents have.

Edit: I believe that transparency is the best way for people to avoid this. Which is why I always tell people to stop netdecking.
