They did bump up the tournament rewards for packs which will hopefully have an impact over time. Where a 32 team tournament was awarding 14 total packs (6 for 1st, 4 for 2nd, and 2 for 3rd and 4th), they now award 21 cards (10 for 1st, 5 for 2nd, and 3 for 3rd and 4th). That 50% increase is significant.

I think that a big issue is the limited supply of Silver cards. With the number of gold packs out there as mission rewards along with the ability to directly purchase them, Silver cards are relatively scarce compared to their value. With rare exception I have only been selling my duplicate cards. I have gotten my packs through tournaments and mission rewards. Right now, I have 47 non-live Gold cards and 79 non-live Silver cards. Based on pack odds, I should be pulling two and a half times the number of Silver cards as Gold but currently have less than a 1.7:1 ratio. This is even more out of whack when you consider the 10:1 ratio between the QuickSell values of Gold versus Silver cards.
My feeling is that they should sell Silver packs for no more than 1500 points. I think there would be a good demand for those packs which would help alleviate the lack of supply of Silver cards.
