The arena is often the best way to collect gold, but also cards. Buying a pack costs you 100 gold whereas the arena will give you 150. It's "enough" to win 3 or 4 victories for the 50 extra gold to be worth it, the rest will just be a bonus! So don't hesitate, jump into the arena and try to reach your 12 victories for the maximum rewards.
