Actually, this "newbie" distinction doesn't make sense because it is a non-sequitor. By definition, "newbie" denotes someone who is new to the game; thus, it is a classification based on how long someone has been playing the game, not on the power of his or her deck.

In contrast, from what I can decipher from your posts, you are referring to upper tier vs. lower tier decks, and that only paying players can afford the upper tier. This is pretty much true, however paying/non-paying and newbie/veteran are not mutually exclusive categories.

Someone can put together an LR deck in a short time (maybe a month) if they have enough money to spend; whereas a free player might have a decent UR deck after six months of playing. In the above example, the paying player has an upper tier deck, but is still (by definition) a "newbie", while the free player has a mid-tier deck, but is a veteran.

Your points would be much more coherent if you would take a bit more time to choose the proper categories with which to make them.
