To be fair, if I wanted, I could just spend a full night analysing the meta and tweaking my deck, and open the round a day later.
In later seasons I didn't really play to my full strength, but that was more because of other things in life taking up time.
But it's a disadvantage to a point, as you can't use a great idea that comes up right before the deadline. That happened to me a few times.

The rules refer to them as cards
701.46a If a player is instructed to venture into the dungeon while they don’t own a dungeon card in
the command zone, they choose a dungeon card they own from outside the game and put it into
the command zone. They put their venture marker on the topmost room. See rule 309,
“Dungeons.”
The dungeon mechanic works.
We had decks with it (alluren/lich combo), and no one batted an eye about it.
Some questions about how we handle mistakes:
Replacing banned cards with basics may lead to the deck no longer beating any of the target decks. Simple option: in that case they get 0 season points. Fun solution: replace banned cards with black lotus if a mana producer and Retrofitter foundry otherwise instead of a basic.
There is also the question if people incorrectly calculate the matchup vs the target deck. One of my drafts for this round actually was DD instead of WW before I caught it.
I proposed to be attributed randomly a legal deck from previous round?
Foundry is sure to WW vs everything.
How about the most winning legal deck from the prior round? “Rolling” the most losing non-banned deck might leave bad tastes in people’s mouths as that is the default best choice.
How important is it to get the correct goldfish turn? As I have a couple deck ideas that may involve some complex lines of play.
To reduce workload on the organizer, we should all do the math for our own decks to calculate both the goldfish turn (GT) and how you beat the target deck (if racing, then what turn). There may be some mistakes that get corrected later, but it's less work to figure out the results if most GTs are done in advance.
To handle mistakes with banned cards, we should also do something that minimizes work on the organizer. If we select a random deck from the last round, does there have to be deck validation to make sure it WW against the target deck?
The simplest answer if your deck is either banned or fails to beat the target deck is to eliminate your entry for that round. Its no fun for the person making the mistake but all the other answers add a lot of complexity for this season.
The results from the previous round would determine which decks have a WW record vs a target deck and thus are eligible for resubmission
You could get into a situation where there are no available decks to choose from however; such as if every WW deck happened to contain a card that got banned that round.
Hey, I think I could manage to win against everyone this time!
Edit: I'll submit something at least for the first round. Since this kind of thing is a lot of work for the organizer, I'd support illegal decks simply getting 0 points. Of course dte may choose to be more lenient.
