Ever since the game released the "Collection Power" update, this is the first time I visited the Hive Engine and checked the DEC market value and to my surprise it's actually almost worth double now. 

DEC is currently valued at $0.00090 which is close to the in-game value of 1000 DEC = $1 USD. Hopefully it would increase more and at least stabilize at $0.00100 or around the in-game value.

Other than me getting 'less' loot chests rewards the last two seasons, in terms of DEC I have been getting from winning my ranked matches it's still more or less the same. 

Normally I would average at around 8500-9500 DEC every season (including DEC's from daily quests and season end rewards) but the last two seasons I surprisingly have gotten around the same accumulated DEC. So DEC~wise, the almost double increase in market value of DEC is a good thing for me.

Card~wise though, I think I have greatly suffered.  But honestly it doesn't really concern me that much since I intend to stay my current summoners and monsters at this level and most if not all of my current monster cards are already at level 5-7. 

It would take a considerable amount of $$$ to level them all up even by 1 summoner level range. Also, I'm waiting for the upcoming "Land Expansion" update if that is more worth investing rather than leveling up my cards.
