Not what's happening. Hasbro isn't making rare cards more available, it's printing too many sets. Each new set comes with new keywords and mechanics, meaning the strongest decks always have cards from the latest set. As a result, Hasbro has essentially required players to spend more each year in order to stay competitive.

Hasbro is the anti-player party in this, not the plaintiff.
