NO, I am of the opinion that too much DEC is being given out. Currently its possible for the top players to earn $1 or more worth of DEC in a single match. Alpha also gets too high of a bonus over Beta cards as well.
Imagine using the full set Alpha gold foiled cards...
Imagine having paid for and bought all alpha gold foil cards, haha-not cheap regardless almost of when you bought them. I think the premium is more than fair and could actually be much higher if it needed to be to favor golds, especially alpha golds. It would also level out the value of the regular cards giving the people who are playing with high end gold decks (like yours truly--again I am heavily biased here). To get a maxed beta regular common, say a goblin shaman--like 13-$15. To get a maxed out beta goblin shaman gold foil--easily 25-$35. There are very likely hundreds maxed out regular cards of that version. There are very likely less a dozen maxed out GF cards with the potential of about 60-80 of them, ever. That's one card also. Just a thought, I figured it would be a juicy conversation.
99% of my cards came from purchasing booster packs, $2 a pack for BETA addition / the same as most paid for their Alpha addition Booster Packs. I do agree that Aplha should get more DEC/Rewards compared to Beta because Alpha is first edition but the current rate is too high IMO. Its great that SM/SP team and devs are creating many ways to earn and I certianly agree that the ones that spent the most and/or the ones at the top of the leaderboad deserve to earn more then lower to mid level players/investors.
To put things in another perspective. .... Beta cards (which have many first edition cards) get the same DEC rate as Rewards cards which can be attained for free in league play. Orb cards, which can be bought with DEC get a higher rate then BETA cards. If we take a look at some other factors like the ALPHA to BETA conversion / potions that allow BETA Booster packs to have higher gold and legendary drop rates (all things that increase BETA card supply thus potentially droping beta card value) Us Beta card collectors are getting shafted here a little bit imo.
