Pay to win/ not worth it
-
I think pay to win is a bit of a non issue...if you're good you're good...more like pay to enjoy the more fun cards...we already pay 150 for the game...25 a month for PS subscription...in real money these cards are 250 to 300 bucks...they remove most ways to flip....get return on a pack...heck, I remember quick selling diamonds that were already collected....all these revenue avenues are gone....I think we even had updates every week...so many stubs back then...lol

I guess it boils down to how you describe "winning". To me it is winning against another opponent. I am not even sure if "winning" in that respect even applies to offline players. In this definition of "winning" the game is not pay to win.
"Winning" to others may be completing all the collections or getting every card in the game. If that is your definition then I can see the point. I don't necessarily agree with that definition but I can understand it.
And for those who counter that you can get every card in the game by flipping cards or investing, while I see that as a valid strategy for some, I don't consider an actual answer to the problem. Nobody should have to basically play a commodity market simulator to afford cards nor even pay attention to how players are doing in real life to invest in them.
All that said I think there is nobody who can say that SDS has not ratcheted up the monetization in the last few years. I have been complaining about it since they started putting what I would consider Program Rewards into packs. That may have been back when they had the Father's Day program where they rewarded cards for fathers and sons and then Stuck Matt and Jackson Holliday in a Diamond Duos pack. It has been going downhill ever since.
If you want to talk Pay to Win, then just give Out of The Parks Perfect Team mode a try. I love that game for franchise play but the Perfect Team mode is pretty much pay to win.

I would say more of a pay to get cards not pay to win. You can still win with skill and luck, but getting better cards is definitely for those willing to pay
