Does anyone have any tips on how to unlock cards in a quick manner? I don't want to buy deck unlocks, but I hate grinding out battles to unlock just one card at a time.

Unfortunately, you've named the only two ways to unlock cards that they've put there for us.
I find the key is to find a deck that you enjoy playing with, so that it's not so much drudgery to grind games with it. Then find an encounter/matchup that is very favorable to that deck and grind the crap out of it (the Moorland Zombies encounter works pretty well for most decks, so long as you've got a solid curve).
Your other choice is to pony up the dough. Personally, I'm not a big fan of purchasing the deck unlocks, but even if you can win 20 matches an hour (which would be pretty impressive), you'd be gaining yourself about 66 cents per hour over just buying decks outright.
I don't know what you expected to be different this time around. This is the same way it's worked in both of the previous iterations of the game. The only other potential avenue is to wait to acquire the promotion codes to unlock new cards automatically (which weren't leaked all at once this time).
Yeah, this works the same as the others. I prefer grinding against white Human deck, myself, but it's just that: a grind. Once we start getting the promo unlocks things get a little easier, though.

Um... I don't know if y’all know this but there was an exploit in duels 2013 where you and a friend could unlock all the cards by fighting with a friend and then having him/her immediately concede over and over. I think they got wind of this because in my experience, fighting other players online no longer unlocks cards.

Are you sure it doesn't unlock them? I know it doesn't show the screen that would usually reveal unlocked cards to you, but skips straight back to the deck selection screen. I know you can earn achievements/personas/titles from playing multiplayer and not even know about which ones you got until you check the "Player Status" menu. Perhaps you unlock cards, but it just doesn't point it out to you. Have you tried adding up the cards in the deck in the next game to see if it added any?
