Sadly the only way to get pigsie tc that work for crafting the spell is to get it dropped. I have gotten some tc from lore and from the new accursed play gauntlet, but still not enough to make it.
theres people holding out on pigsie tc in some Facebook wiz groups but they are so far beyond expensive like 90-100 empower for only 1 tc but that's all entirely asinine it would be better if ki devs released a recipe to make the tc for the spells as soon as they are released the new spells are unneededly hard to get just like the spells that require 12 amber used to be
I think one of the reasons Pigsie is so rare in the Bazaar is because their price is set artificially low. My Life has one that came from Loremaster and I don't sell it because A) I want to craft the spell so I need to keep it, and B) even if I did sell it all I'd get back is $250.
$250 gold.
That's it?!
Empowers go for $800 at their cheapest and they're far more common. (When they're rare they go for $2000!) So what is the incentive to sell an extremely rare and desperately wanted treasure card for a paltry $250? None. There is none. No one in their right mind would sell at that price, so of course they're hoarding and demanding untold numbers of Empowers.
For whatever reason, KI set the price too low and that's why the regular market is failing to work. Instead, Black Market economics are doing their worst. I don't know whether they did this on purpose to stop PVP from crashing, or if they're forcing desperate people to buy the Wysteria pack.

i'm dead serious if you got on facebook right now to the group called "Wizard101 community" and asked of anyone to join the tc trade chat on discord they would probably invite you and set a price of empwer which i last heard was 90-100 empower for 1 pigsie i cant tell you how much i agree with you thats its insane it almost made me stay up half the night in anger people are literally doing this but what can you do i've just been farming a lot and buying any i can so far i only got 1 tc from nice player that asked if anyone wanted a pigsie tc
as for their reason im pretty sure its like you said "to stop pvp from crashing from eveyone from having pigsie" but at the same time empower is still a well known used card for pvp like getting weaknesses/jujus off and giving you back pips at the same time
