Amen. Some things DBG since assuming ownership have been an improvement such as getting more cards into the client and likewise better ORCs but things like this though I just don't see the "why" other than new devs wanting to "play". The game has a strong customer loyalty base and making new "features" to drive off your whales to try and woo Arena players makes no sense, even financially. To much time getting spent on new unwanted features and not enough time spent on fixing long standing known bugs and I don't just mean in cards, but things like loop crashes, this very forum which doesn't work most of the time, etc or features people have been asking for for decades that other wont' be named clients have had for about as long such as not just auto yielding, but auto yielding that works PLUS auto stacking complete with auto stacking specific ordering. I mean it's good the client isn't dead on the improvement side but lets focus on improvement active players want.
This is a prime example, there is no universe where this was a good idea outside maybe for new players as many of us don't even look at the cards at level that is even readable, we know them by name and art shape to maximize our screen play mat space, heck most of us would run "text only" if it would speed up the client; hey how about that as an option.
I'm not against all these changes but give people freedom over them, more choices not less. If you want to change the default fine BUT do it for NEW installs, not existing and give people the option to use the new OR old behavior. The old behavior code exists, it's not a big deal to keep it.
