That being said, in regards to F2P I've yet to see a good explanation as to how tournaments might help. I remember conversations in PT19 where people thought Tournaments would give them a chance. But if whales are hoarding cards and others either can't get them, or have to pay the premium other players may price them at once tourney's start, then it's still the PP and/or money that will dominate tourneys (except for those that might be making their purchases early. Once you add in Collections, it seems that all the new features have hurt the AH rather than help. Prices have come down in the AH, but still remain quite high especially at the higher levels. Hopefully I'm wrong and prices eventually get down to PT19 levels, but I'm becoming less confident of that.

I think the theory is that people will find a niche to compete in and that there will be enough options that the whales aren't even going to be able to participate in all of them. Like if your main focus in the game becomes figuring out how to master a tournament of silver hardware heroes. There's a lot of play space there and it would not cost an arm and a leg to compete.
