So I put together some numbers. It started out pertaining to just the events/tiers I have been in, but expanded due to the numbers being so interesting. I am a tier 2 player so my views come from that perspective.

Observation 1: Silversteak blows on attack, but is still relatively strong overall. I'm not sure if this makes a stronger card, or a weaker card, but it stands out.

Observation 2:  Tier 2 rewards have stagnated in power over the past 6 events while tier 1 have increased significantly with a couple exceptions.

Observation 3:

Observation 4:  To paint a complete picture raid cards should be included but i ran out of time

Conclusion:  I have seen several people in tier 2 throw in the towel stating their growth potential is limited now that there deck is full of tier 2 cards. This would seem to verify that. Others have commented that they hate seeing their cards that they spent lots of money become irrelevant to the power creep. I would argue that seeing your DP increase and damage increase would be a reward that justifies continuing to play and spend money. Unfortunately for tier 2 players at least, estimating their base  DP is between 11,000 and 14,000, damage output was significantly cut this episode. Add to it DP won't really increase with the addition of additional T2 Cards and there is not much incentive to continue unless you like collecting cards and like the grind.

Many in Tier 2 do pay varying amounts of money and it would be a shame if Mobages push to reward only big spenders forces the rest of us to lose interest.

Just to throw something else in that might be interesting here is the variance in total MTM power between tier 1 and tier 2 rewards for the episodes above:
