Did you guys even considered it was a hacker maybe?

There are reports of people doing this kind of things from time to time. Hacking gets people banned really quickly, so they only get to play a few games before the problem is solved.

On another note, that opening is possible with 2x Cremation, 2x cremation fodder (photons, etc), 2x Phoenix, Lava Golem, Fire Tower (opponent is going second); but OP specifies no Immo was used.

Did they have tripple mark and double draw maybe?
Just like FG's, arena decks with the right upgrades and a high level can draw 2 cards each turn and have 3x mark.

Since Arena games aren't real-time, I would have to guess that it's simply a bug, maybe a variant of the desync bug that's common in standard PvP.  I would imagine it would be hard to hack something like the Arena.

It's been done a couple times at least already and given what they have been able to do so far, having a deck start off with a large amount of quanta would not be out of the question either, so it is certainly possible this was a hack, though overall, some form of desynch seems more likely to me as well, especially since there don't seem to have been a lot of other people running into the same problem

take a screenshot maybe?  i dunno its just a suggestion, it doesnt help just to say someones hacking without any kind of proof at all.  if he had started off with more quanta then a screenshot would show that.
