Well, I mean... that may be true in some cases, but not all. The tournament that I was in with the Peak Bartolo Colon mentioned above was limited to only Iron cards... and I made it to the quarter finals without ever having spent a cent on Perfect Points. I haven't even tuned my team all that much yet, since I'm still working on a system for efficiently aggregating tournament stats in a database.
(Granted, once I have such a system it can be argued that sufficient data analysis background to get that kind of advantage is very much NOT part of what makes for an average player. Current team was made only based on the typical rosters I was seeing from tournament winners, though.)
Edit: Oh, and now I noticed you were specifically responding to a post that mentioned open tournaments. So to some degree this doesn't apply. Leaving it up for the record, mostly.
