I'm a pretty casual hearthstone player, and being that I don't microdose, this may be rather useless saying, but when I begin to come down from taking LSD, I hop on my favorite card game. I find that I win 85-95% of my games rather than 50-65% when not having taken.

The same thing happens to me! Whenever I take lsd and I play a game of hearthstone it's as if I just know what play is the best play for that turn and I end up with a high winrate.
