You're talking about an entirely different deck. Your arguments are perfectly valid, but they don't apply to a deck with up to 16 shuffle effects (fetches, 4 Ponder, 4 Portent), often 4 Predicts, Counterbalance, plus some other quirks like an increased need to protect its threats from discard (because it runs so few).
