possible hack or timing ?

[InnerPhoenix]

this has been happening quiet alot lately, it will be my turn , ill hover my mouse a few seconds before i pick the card but just before i can click they ditch the match, its almost like they can see or know the card im about to play. or is it just the timing and they know they gonna loose and just ditch ?.

I have long suspected a hand spying cheat. You are not the first person to post that they noticed something strange about the timing of when an opponent decided to concede.

They probably anticipate removal, a counterspell or you may be simply taking too long making decisions. Given how much people net deck on this game, some people know decks inside and out and will know how what card is coming next based on mana curve

If my opponent mouse over my creature or highlights it while hovering their hand, I know a removal is coming.

There are plenty of reasonable explanations for this.

A lot of people just concede if they don't think they're sure to win. They're probably looking at their hand and thinking "crap I don't have anything good, the X I have on the field is all I've got going for me". Then they see you looking at your cards and think "shoot, he's about to drop a removal/gamewinner isn't he? Might as well bounce".

No reason to assume they're looking at your hand; I've had it happen even when I really didn't have anything impressive to play, and my opponent would probably have won if they'd stuck around.

There is some missing info here. What's the board state like? What turn is it? Are you hitting the turn timer?

For me, I'm out if it takes my opponent longer than 10 secs to do turns 1-4 unless the deck seems like it has more complex interactions. But if you're sitting there with two mana on the field and looking over your hand obsessively, I'm out and on to the next game.

Just to throw out another possibility, there have definitely been times where it's like "I don't really wanna play anymore, but I only need to cast 4 more spells to finish this daily" so I hop into a game and deuce out after 4 spell casts.

I know my deck inside and out and unless you are playing total jank, I know your deck too. It doesn't take long to get to this place in the game either.

I'll bail the second I realize...there is nothing in my hand that is going to turn this game around.

I wish there was an emote for that "just doing daily" I feel bad but I do it probably once or twice per week, need like 2 red cards hop in play 2 and blow myself up, just wish I could let them know

Ah yes the hack that makes me concede the match more often.
