Arena had a hard start unlike other CCG because it went live with 5!!! sets, so for many the initial start was rough. I spent 150 USD, played a hell lot of sealed events and along with the gold, drafts and what not I had ALL tier 1 decks in week 2 after open beta started. For Allegiance I spent 50 USD for drafting and already have 5, or even more, decks.
SO I think going forward 50 USD per set is going to be enough, specially if you extend that value with good sealed runs and later with drafts.
Actually, the F2P aspect is way ahed of many other CCG online, it is the cheapest way to play magic.
I think I will be spending around 50 USD each new expansion to play sealed (I got more than double the value each expansion GRN and RNA).
Once you have a good deck you can farm events, traditional constructed has a good payout structure. SO there are various ways to maxmize the gold they give you and build a collection fast.
And yes, when old expansions are incorporated people might have to invest a bit to get that many cards, but WotC has to make money.
