Yeah, I'm okay with that. If I gave a shit, I'd go buy the cards I needed for the decks. I mean, I own a credit card and have a job, I just don't see the value in dropping money on $20 cards to win $12 worth of booster packs. Likewise, I'm okay with using the ones I do have to try and make the best of them rather than buying someone else's deck so I can compete on their ideas. On the other hand, when I feel I've done competitively with my less-than-top-grade deck building, I think it's an evening well spent. When I rank high in a draft, I know why I did it. Certainly better than an evening spent using someone else's deck or winning video games by following YouTube walkthroughs or playing games of TF2 loaded with crutch weapons but I get that we have different goals for the night.

Heh, ok. Look, it's cool. Somehow you think that copying someone else's work and making a few tweaks is equivalent to doing it yourself or that no one except the guy who copies decks goes through all the usual decision making processes in the game. It's silly but it's not a big deal to me.
