Or are we saying newbies have the right to not have to go through a bunch of posts to find decks they can use?
I think the idea is that the community should be newbie-friendly, and make it easy for new players to find good decks that they can use. I agree with Chapuz for the most part, but I think both upped and un-upped should be listed(points made about meta game are right). The community tends to focus on upped decks, as most posters have been around for a while. But for someone who doesn't have the ability to make an upped deck with shards, it's not easy to find a decent deck when everyone wants to post upped decks.
In MY opinon noobs should start with FG farming and move to arena after, when they have enough upped cards.
Uh....No. Just no.
Farming FGs with some 15-20% winrate deck is b-o-r-i-n-g. People expect to have fun when they play a game, an expectation that is
never unreasonable. I have the cards to make a ~30-35% winrate deck (Limitless Speed) but even then, I don't like playing FGs. (I dislike OTKs - fall asleep playing them) In order to get to 50% or better, it seems shards are needed, and therefore arena is a necessary step to having fun while farming FGs - for people like me, at least. Arena is fun, and fun should be encouraged. So the community should encourage new players to play Arena, and not tell them to go mindlessly grind for a while and have fun later.
