Thanks for any help. I tried searching for this, but could not find the answer. Sorry if someone has already asked this multiple times.

I had a video explaining it but for some reason the highlight I tried to make of it on Twitch didn't save, so I'll try to explain it as best I can.
Yes, the system has changed this year. We've gotten rid of the points system for upgrading Variants, and you are now only able to use either the Variant Booster cards, like you mentioned, or the new Hall of Fame Artifacts, to boost a Variant up one or multiple levels.
With the Artifacts, there's Silver, Gold, Diamond, and Perfect-level Artifacts, and they can be acquired via Artifact Packs, which you can get either as mission rewards or in the Clubhouse Shop (I'm unaware of if there'll be other avenues to these in the future, but I personally may not rule it out just yet - I'm not sure). A Silver-level Artifact will boost a Variant by one level, a Gold-level Artifact will boost a Variant by two levels, a Diamond-level Artifact will boost a Variant by three levels, and a Perfect-level Artifact will boost a Variant by four levels. Silvers will be the most common of them, with rarity increasing by level.
As for Variant Booster cards, I think those are roughly the same idea, and that the Iron cards out now will boost them by one level each. I'm not 100 percent sure, but I think if there are Gold, Diamond, etc. Variant Boosters in the future (that's a Paul question that I need to re-clarify with him), they'll upgrade by multiple levels.
Hopefully this helps! Unfortunately, duplicate base cards or Variant cards cannot be used to boost this year.
