I don't know how ios has been doing, but grab bag has been working wonders in macro terms for the android market.

And I'd argue that the admins very much have an interest in monitoring message board prices - ridiculous ios numbers like 40k for a card clearly drive people away from the game. More people playing statistically means more people spending. It's in the admins' best interest to keep prices low so that people are incentivized to play the game.

In terms of grab bag, anyone who pays some money has a shot at becoming significantly stronger. The increased supply of cards at p16 and p17 means that prices for those cards have decreased, allowing free players a much better chance at building strong front lines. Thanks to grab bag, I've built a near-top class fire front line...

Of course, this just means that sellers have hard times selling now, but I'll take that over berserk prices any day.

tl;dr I like grab bag even though it's made my selling things that much slower.
