It does from time to time. You'll see "pushed" (ie really good and hard to get) cards come out and enjoy their time and then either they get banned or the synergistic cards that make them format warping get banned.
I don't even mind that aspect of the product cycle that much. I enjoy they competitive aspect and some strategies can and will be better than others.
But the cards that define the format being inaccessible AND this type of product design that's endemic to the CCG business model really sucks. And IRL play is so much better than sims, especially if you're trying to improve at the game too.

Unsurprising the people whose livings are tied to the bourgeois courts and legal system put tons of stock in it.
