That's funny. I haven't played Magic seriously since pre-Google, and not building one's own deck from scratch was commonly known as 'cheating'.
ETA: this is because deck construction was considered most of the game, so playing someone else's deck is like having a more experienced player play the game for you
Same here - there might have been a few people around playing decks from the web or magazines, but they were a minority and not very highly considered.
But then I never took part in competitions, and don't know anybody who did, that probably explains.
