How often would you like to have new card updates / balance changes updates?

Possible answers:

New cards:

1 - every month 20 new cards
2 - every 3 months 40 new cards

Balance changes:

1 - whenever necessary
2 - every month
3 - synchronized with new cards updates

EDIT: these are just examples. You can suggest any time interval you like.

new cards:

2 - every 3 months 40 new cards

Balance changes:

3 - synchronized with new cards updates

this is an important question, It should be asked also to players that don't use the forum.

and a new keyword every year.

I prefer small but frequent updates, so I'd go for the first option (every month) even if it's fewer than 20 new cards.

For the balancing changes I choose 3 (except for critical issues which should be done asap).

But I agree with Fithz Hood, that this should be asked to people who are not active in the forums (the majority).

New cards every three months. Once a month is too often to have to update every current deck to acknowledge new possibilities in opponents' hands.

Balance updates shouldn't be on a set schedule. It seems to me that this would cause cards to be "balanced" arbitrarily, especially if balancing seems to come in the form of adjusting costs of the most/least played cards without consideration as to why they are that way. On the other hand, if the balance changes are due to changes in the overall card pool, then aligning them to the new card schedule makes perfect sense.

Balancing changes that correct behavior that could be considered as exploitative should continue to come immediately, of course.

I prefer 40 cards every 3 months and balancing updates whenever necessary

I'd like to see new cards 2-4 times a year during holiday or around the quarters of the year, where I and hopefully others have the most time to adjust decks and think of new ones.

I feel we are getting closer to having too many cards and hearing 40 news cards every update sounds like a lot.

Balance changes should be done as needed based on the severity of the issue.

In my opinion the need to keep flooding the game with more and more cards isn't what i'd prefer to see but of course i can see why a lot of people prefer that. I would love to see more focus on making sure that the ones implented really improves gameplay and more focus on balancing existing cards.
About frequency in my opinion more frequent changes that balance maybe just one or a few cards would generally be easier as those changes have an impact on future changes. As it is now i feel that very often when some things needs to be balanced a lot of cards are balanced at once and without considering each other
