I've been playing for a few months now and generally like the game. I'm not a huge fan of Reynad's opinion on some things but overall they have made a very solid game.
The p2w aspect is yet to be seen but the idea for how it is monetized is not new and is clearly flawed, not only because the packs are not buyable with gems for the first month* but if the new cards coming out aren't overpowered or at least really interesting (tough line to straddle in either case), then there is no incentive to buy the packs, so clearly there is the temptation to give them some power creep to keep the lights on.
We'll just have to see how they do over the next month or 3, in the dev patch note read Reynad said that this is still a beta and that is important to remember, and things will most likely change, including monetization.
In either case, I'm still excited to log in later once the kids go to bed and give the new changes a spin.
* - This will be less impactful after a few months when 8-10 extra cards coming out won't heavily impact the hundred or so that came before it (not even considering the base set and any new cards that come with new characters), unless a card comes out severely broken to the point that everyone uses it to win, else you lose
