I think if you have just 1000 tokens to spend you should first of all check decks tier list and see what you are missing that will help you complete a good competitive deck. I think these space vacuum ratings of single cards are just whatever. You can rate the cards all you like, but it's their synergy which is important (with some very few exclusions). I mean what is the point of buying Sera if you don't have Silver Surfer, Brood, Mystique and so on... Yeah, you could play SHang-Chi and Enchantress on turn 6, nice. But that's not an S-tier deck. So what is the point of buying this S-tier card then? If you already have let's say Patriot, then Ultron is your S-tier card. Or Mystique. I think if you rate cards in vacuum you should rate the cards that is good on their own. And that's it. Or... you rate decks and card synergies instead. It's either this or that. You can't combine all of these approaches in one.
Why? You get 100 credits more, 100 gold more, title and cardback instead mysterious variant. I would say they got better.
That's not true, you get 100 gold less. 100 credits doesn't matter, I mean, c'mon, it's just one daily mission. And Title and a cardback instead of TWO mysterious variants, does it worth it? There will be plenty amount of titles anyway, and the free one that you get pretty easily is probably not something you will be proud of. Same goes for the free cardback. Two alternate variants worth 1400 gold, I'll take that over the free stuff anytime.
When you nerf something, you expect people will not use that anymore, and for that you do a refund, so people could put the exact same amount of resources into something else they like.
You nerf something, and for that you give more of that something? No, that's not how it works. Like, at all.
Now the only question in terms of the economics I have for this mode is the probabilities of portraits showing up in packs. And when it shows up, what are the probabilities of different rarities. And this is an important question in terms of the decision making on whether you should buy the pre-orders or not.

Yeah, the free season rewards got worse, sadly.
Art is cool, but frame looks bad. Frame actually make the card looks worse, than without it.

If you spent time upgrading a mercenary for pvp you probably don't need coins for it anymore.

All three are strong, and all three are the legendaries.
