People have to understand that blizzard is a company though. They employ a lot of people and they need to make money. They probably started doing that and making epics and legendaries more powerful as the expacs went on solely to make money. If anyone remembers back in the day, it was actually a meme how bad most legendaries and epics were. In the classic set, only a couple still see play, and it's loaded with worthless cards like Cho, Millhouse, and The Beast. It's no coincedence that they upped the power level of legendaries over the years. People are way too harsh on blizz for wanting to make money though. Remember the days when it cost 50$ (in 1990s money) to buy an N64 game? Games have way higher quality now, and are a lot cheaper. Look at games like Subnautica. That game cost 19.99$ and it would've been the greatest and most played game ever if it came out in 1999. The video game industry is struggling now because of things like piracy, and companies need to make money.
Sorry, but that is huge BS. To get full expansion you need to spend $450-500 on packs (135 virtual cards!). That is the equivalent of a new PS4 Pro! To get 4 full expansions per year, you have to spend $1800-2000. A normal game, with a budget usually exceeding $300 million, costs $60. Poor Blizzard indeed...
Oh, you need every card in your collection? Is that needed to play competitively? Realistically you’ll need maybe a quarter of the expansion to play in high end ladder with every deck if you keep up on every expansion.
Personal experience is I spend 60-100$ every year on HS. I think this is more than fair considering the time I enjoy playing it. I normally steer clear of meta decks as I really enjoy playing weird home brews but I could probably craft up anything I needed for those decks in a few weeks after the expansion drops. I hit the new expansions with 4-6k gold and 3-5k dust.
If you do your dailies and sensibly dust at appropriate times you can easily make any deck you want.
