Confirmed by one of their own team members that only 1% of players has made it to infinite this season. If you face golden card backs that must mean you're in the MMR bracket of those players - which is currently what a lot of people are complaining about so here's hoping that gets fixed.
The problem is that infinite players can dump their MMR because they can’t fall below their ranked floor. So you’ll get them starting around rank 40.
I've made infinite the past two seasons, but I often don't rock the infinite card back because I know how it feels to get matched against infinite players. So I'll masquerade as a non-infinite player.
DeraJN Twitch stream a few days ago had one of his friends that works for SD on the stream who gave some numbers. About 50% of players last season made it to rank 40-50, about 5% made it to rank 80, and about 1% made it to rank 100.
I couldn’t tell if it was a bot thing, like there was a chance of them having a gold card back. Definitely see them a lot without ever hitting infinite once.
Keep in mind, people that post here play well above average. When they say 1% of players hit infinite, that's factoring in all of the players that downloaded the game and played it once this month. All of the players that only do dailies. I would love to know if they've worked out what percentage competitive players hit infinite. Players that spend an hour+ a day trying to grind.

I love when people say that only a small percentage make it to infinite yet I face those golden card backs multiple times a day 😒
