If you enjoy deck construction but hate rare chasing, definitely look into some LCGs (living card game). Their model is that when you buy a pack you get a playset of each card, and nothing is random. I don't know which is the best competitive one atm (rip Netrunner) but LOTR The Card Game is quite amazing if you want to build decks with friends to fight the game cooperatively.
This is the correct way to do deck building games.
Also, Dominion is a fun game, as you build the deck in real time during play. Part of the strategy is working around your rivals' strategies and snatching up "rare" cards before they do.
