I confirm that you are correct.
I tested with a Paladin Agro deck and my opponents miraculously changed depending on deck set up.
Algorithms. It’s that simple. There is no RNG.
I’m sorry, but the idea that some algorithm decides the winner or loser of match on a coin flip is utterly preposterous.
By that reasoning, if a game suddenly decides at the onset, that I should win the match, then I can do nothing at all and play random cards of no value or significance and I’ll be the victor with minimal effort. That’s nonsense.
The game is driven by player input, not some hidden contraption.
You are being matched against other human opponents, and you both try to do your best to win the game. The player who knows how to best adapt to his opponent’s board and play style will be the winner.
Sure, sometimes an opponent will triumph because of a lucky discover, but that’s because he actually decided to play the discover card and calculated his mana expenditure in the process so that in the event that he doesn’t discover anything immediately useful, he’ll have a flexible backup plan.

The algorithms don’t decide on a coin flip.
There are many factors that influence the decision.
How much real money does a player spend? Is the player a recognized streamer? (Streamers play opponents much lower rank than them and are often gifted wins.) What is the player’s win ratio? Remember that Blizz has openly stated that they want a 50% win ratio for all players.
Those are just a few.
If the algorithms have decided that you are the chosen one and you decide to play like an Amoeba on purpose then of course you will lose the game. But you can’t blame anyone except yourself for that.
Where’s the proof of this?
The proof is on YouTube.etc.
If you watch streamers like Kripparian, Shadybunny, JeefHS etc and you look passed the 3 Golden T6 minions on turn 5, you will quickly realize that their opponents suck.
Focus on their opponents and how they play. I watched JeefHS, who is supposed to be one of the best HS players in the world play and on Turn 12 his opponents largest minion was a 10/10 token. Turn 12.
Surely someone with a 10k ranking should be playing the best players the world has to offer, every time.
It’s so obvious that it’s sad.
You do realize that the streamers only upload their most successful runs. What’s the point of uploading a run that resulted in failure?
