The current system is broken for players on a budget who want to play standard competitively. Every time I want to craft a mythic I need to purchase about 20 or so packs to get a mythic wildcard. Most competitive decks play about 5-10 mythic cards. If you do the math, it comes out to be a very expensive transaction to switch decks.
Every successful free to play TCG in the market allows for breaking down an existing collection into the equivalent of fractions of wildcards. Ex. Hearthstone uses disenchanting dust, Gwent uses scraps. Even MTGO has a better system for exchanging cards: the secondary market. The secondary market made it so it was easy enough to assemble a deck without spending obscene amounts of money. Same for paper MTG. If I spend a lot of money on paper cards, I can at least trade them with friends or card stores. I have no such option in Arena.
I understand some of the reasoning behind making Arena expensive. MTG is not a purely digital product. It is tied to a paper card game and the price of Arena should reflect the price of paper somewhat. It can't be so cheap that players abandon the real life card game for the digital one. If that is the case, then please allow some option to trade cards like what can be done in MTGO. The other solution is the scrapping/dusting system provided by most digital TCG games.
