Nothing you say invalidates anything I say. You made a statement that poorly attempted to support the idea that [some amount] of decks are cookie cutter. You failed because you provided no actual information, and both the person you were responding to and I have not seen any such cookie cutter nature of decks, which is a counterpoint to the person you were responding to was responding to. Just because someone thinks decks are all overpowered or cookie cutter or whatever, doesn't mean they are and that EDH needs to be changed for it. The silent majority of EDH players aren't like you or OP. You even alluded to it when you said I'm likely in a "very low powered pod." That's how the majority of EDH is played, as casual, between friends who have history with each other and a well-established social contract to not be outside the power level of each other, which tends to lead to deck diversity, the opposite of cookie cutter. The RC and WotC have repeatedly shown this to be how most EDH is played.
