I'm a free player, so cannot participate. That said, I would support any effort to clean up the game, if it were reasonably calculated to succeed. My problem with this solution is that Mobage has no way of permanently banning players. Anyone can create a new account by simply providing an email address. Are folks content with cheaters having to start from scratch? If so this is fine.

More importantly though, creating deterrents will not likely be sufficient to prevent cheating. Some people might cheat simply for the challenge of doing so, like how some people shoplift for the thrill of it. Mobage simply needs to work on making cheating harder.

My actual preference would be to significantly alter the rewards system. Each tier should offer something like rubies that don't expire. All the cards should be for sale in exchange for that currency. Players could save up their rewards to buy the occasional great card, and the stronger players would get the great cards sooner. This would reduce the harm to clean players when others cheat. That is my $.02 for what it is worth.
