The collectors have bad arena ratings because they focus their resources on trash characters. Most of the ones I've seen have an arena rank in the 1,000's. If you have been ok with an arena rank in the 1,000's why do you think you should have a good shot at taking 1st place in the "Grand Arena"?
I don’t know if we have the same definition of “collectors.” And I’m not really saying that collectors “deserve” win in GA. But it does frankly seem kind of redundant for the exact same people who chase every meta in the arena to have the advantage in the new game mode as well. If that were the goal, why not just sweeten the rewards for arena. I was looking forward to GA because I thought it might be an individual game mode that rewarded real roster depth. But it just doesn’t.

Finally because the arena is awarding prizes on each round and the losers from the first round are matched together in the 2nd round then the collectors are likely going to be competing against each other in the second round. Likewise winners from round 1 will likely be all tall decks so the arena by its nature will become more competitive and fair each round as those with competitive advantages are matched up with others of the same advantages.
I’ll grant you that if the exhibition we’re running in the 3-round format, my reaction would have been a lot milder, fr exactly the reasons you lay out.
