but would it perhaps be possible to at first only implement the new ( fixed) end game scoring cards from Marine?

Perhaps as an extra option when starting a game having to pick between the original version or rebalanced ones?

It always feels bad when you get 2 of the harder ones in your hand, but it's even more frustrating if you get them now knowing the rebalanced version would be easier to fullfill.

And just adding the cards wouldnt be much work right?

AS Ez0ah said, we cant do that without publisher approval first. And probably this wouldnt be fair to change in the middle of the current Arena season.

May I ask why it "wouldn't be fair in the middle of the season"? Everyone is on equal terms, it's early in the season, it's not gonna change anyones playstyle, reduce variance and i think 99% of players would appreciate it.

The main issue would be: "If I had had that rebalanced card in my 15th arena game, I would have won against a Top Ten Player" (completely fictional). I see some people complaining, but agree to the the point that more balance is better than less balance, no matter the point of the arena season. Plus: Can anyone guarantee that the publisher condition is met by the start of the next season? If not then this thing would take another three month given that this argument stands.
