For what it is worth, I have played all mages and abused portals as well. Not because of the rating thing, but because it seemed the best option on paper (before I came to visit these forums). Then I realized first hand how OP mages were. Since then I have bought cards to try out other classes as well which is why I no longer want to play against mages or elems, at least until v1.24.
For only 100 crystals you can get the staples for another class and clean your soul of fireball sins. Redemption is cheap these days. Opponents who don't quit are the reward. This is really worth $1 imho, and the rest you can buy with gold from ingame rewards.
I don't have a problem spending $1 but I will wait till v1.24 so as to buy what I like, not what I might like.
