Been in the beta for a month or so now.
Regarding fast pace. If you play with players that doesn't take up the whole turn to decide which card to play, then yeah.
Leveling up and obtaining cards, super slow. One pack cost 100 gold or buy 2 at $2.99. You get one daily quest a day, which grants 40 - 60 gold. Then you have to win 3 games in casual or ranked to get 10 gold. You will have to do one daily and win like 15 - 20 times for a pack.
In the beginning it's pretty fast, you start completing achievements and they give you 100 gold or so. Win 100 games achievement gives you 300 gold, etc.
But people opt for arena because it's more rewarding and you get the opportunity to get more than you pay to get in. It costs 150 gold or $1.99 for one entry. You get 3 random class to choose from, and then you get 30 round to select a card from 3 random cards. Occasionally you get rounds of rare cards, rounds of epic, and if lucky rounds of legendary. Keep in mind, it's random. So you can face opponents who have 2 legendary cards and you have none.
The more you win, the better the reward. Lose 3 times and you're out. Win 12 times and the arena is over. I find that 0 - 2 wins give almost the same rewards, which is 2 box that contains 1 expert pack and the other will be 30 - 50 dust or gold. If you win 12 times you get 5 boxes. Boxes can include packs, gold of up to 200ish, dust, and cards.
Leveling up your hero gives you golden cards. Pre-level 25 or so, the cards are useless because they can't be disenchanted into dust, and most likely, you already have 2 of the same regular ones. After level 30 though, the cards can be disenchanted.
I had $18.xx leftover in my wallet, and I spent it all on arena. Arena is pretty addicting. I can't see this game going very far because of the limited game play. If they implement arena for casual plays with no rewards and no entry cost, it could be fun. It's the random cards that makes it fun.
Will I buy it when it is released? Of course, it's a game that you play to pass little time. Each match takes about 15 minutes to finish, and you can concede whenever you want.
