"Hand" is separate from "deck" once the game starts. Its just that simple. Whether you disagree with the syntax, its been that way since day one.

As long as your opponent has no duplicate in his remaining deck at the moment he played reno, it will trigger. The cards he has played before, or the cards that are currently in his hand have no bearing, only thing that matter, is what he has in his deck at that moment, and that moment only.

You're overthinking it. Once cards are discarded or drawn, they're not part of the deck anymore.
Another MtG example. You build a library with cards. It's still a library when you start the game. When you draw the cards though, or add them to the "graveyard", it is no longer part of the library, so if you use a card that says "Search your library", you can't go looking through the graveyard just because they were part of your library at one point.

Who cares about the exact wording? After experiencing Reno even once the mechanic is then made clear.
Tbh I find anyone who is confused by the wording on the card to be pretty dense in all honesty. Context clues are also helpful here, Reno is a battlecry effect, thus hinting that the effect does not track the deck when the game starts, but instead only checks for duplicates in the remainder of the deck upon playing Reno. Reno is not like Prince Malchezar where the effect happens right away.

Yet as I later said you'd have to be a complete moron to think that a battlecry takes into account cards that cycle and are put into the deck before Reno's battlecry activates. No battlecry has worked like that before, there is no reason to start thinking cards like Reno are going to suddenly work any different. It is common sense.

A new player learns in the tutorial that you draw cards from your deck into your hand. Defaulting to the dictionary meaning of deck because you choose to ignore the terms explained in the tutorial (even though you're then confronted with the lack of the word 'stock' any time a Joust or shuffle into deck mechanic is used) is either just an excuse to argue, or you really being this dense/pedantic.
Also, most people asked about Reno because there were more wording issues and mechanic weirdness at the time, which have since been resolved.
PS: Control Warrior is a deck build, as in; you build your starting deck with these cards. Then you draw from them. Even bloody pokemon TCG uses the deck/hand/play/graveyard nomenclature.
