Some changes are coming to the token shop soon, but they are one step forward, one step back.

What if this was how the system worked:
The token shop would be like a 'card crafting menu'. There are subsections for series 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, newest card and ultimate variants. In these subsections you can see all cards from that section that you don't own. You can spend tokens to craft ONE of them. You can only craft ONE card per week across all subsections. That means if I craft a series 3 card today, I have to wait a week before I can craft a series 5 card, for example.

If this system existed, while also making sure that players at all collection levels get roughly the same amount of tokens in their chests, I think we would all be much happier. Early on we would be able to get exactly what cards we want for our series 3 deck, but the weekly timer would prevent the collection level climb from being too fast. And then later on when we have almost every card, we could save up tokens to afford the newest cards as they appear every week or so in their own section.

Additionally, to help acquire new cards as they release and make the release of new cards more exciting, I think there should be a shop item that lets you buy 1000, 3000 or 6000 tokens for flat dollar amounts. The shop item would only be purchasable with real money. It would only be available for a short time coinciding with the release of the new card. And it would only be for buying the tokens, nothing else.

This way, if you want cards as they release, the only thing stopping you is your wallet. And if you are a f2p player, you just have to more slowly grind out the tokens or wait for series drops, as per usual.
