I generally like the idea of reworking the EOS LBs, and I even like the sound of qualification for a tournament being added!
But how about, instead of just removing the LB rewards outright, you replace the DEC rewards with Glint instead. There's no value inflation that way, but players still get a beneficial reward for placing on the LB.
You get into the LB for playing and winning games, so it only makes sense to get rewarded the token that in @yabapmatt words, "is a proof of time invested", that let's you access the active SB card set as a reward.
Whatcha think @clayboyn
The other poll has the option to replace them with Glint or Chests etc.
