may I ask something:

how do people find these bugs/exploits? (i'm sure someone told toast about it and then he started to good around)
is it only via testing/playing some cards casually?

 There is a high chance this bug has been discovered by accident.

Just imagine someone playing a quest priest in wild. He has let's say a Cairne Bloodhoof on board. The next turn he uses Power Word: Glory on it to make it heal him. And he uses Mirage Caller to receive a 1/1 that would either also heal for 4 each time it attacks or if your opponents kills it, summon a 4/5. Also this move would add 1 more deathrattle to your quest completion. All in all a pretty good play that could have happpened.

After your game glitches out it's just standard behavior: close the game asap and try reconnecting.

 I will copy/paste my edit from the previous post
EDIT: Like, I can agree, that someone used Power Word: Glory and copied a minion with Mirage Caller and accidentally found out about the exploit, BUT it's questionable with the case of Radiant Elemental x2 + Shadow Visions x ... I mean, why would someone constantly use the elementals just for the spell, w/o getting any value. As if someone expected to find an exploit (and how would they expect such a thing), otherwise I can't explain to myself the purpose of the combo.

to feed Yogg?

 I am not familiar with the other bug you are mentioning so what I am gonna say is an educated guess at best, but an unlimited cycle of shadow visions does sound like the kind of BM many people in HS seem to enjoy. Assuming you are dead on board and got nothing in your hand/ deck to turn the game, you can still annoy your opponent by wasting your full 70-90 seconds by constantly cycling Shadow Visions.

However I do agree with you that there are definitely people trying obscure things just to discover bugs, like there are in pretty much every game.

I guess you are talking about the Nozdormu exploit?

Because there were a few of these Nozdormu interactions already present and they have been fixed. Curse of Rafaam , Youthful Brewmaster and I think another one which I do not remember. And when a card with a chance of misbehaving appears, people try it out. As far as I know, they can't fix the issue on Nozdormu, but only on the respective card that causes the delay on the opponents turn.

To answer your questions: I am pretty sure that the Nozdormu exploit was discovered intentionally by people looking for another drunken Dragon deck (the first combo with Brewmaster).

And when a card with a chance of misbehaving appears, people try it out.

Sudden Genesis also makes this issue when being casted with a damaged minion with PW:G.
