That last subtle point is basically why events work out the way they do. In the old paradigm, having an event deck that has one or two four-stars might still be fun and useful (even back before they had Soulbind for event cards.) A not-quite-perfect event fire deck might be situationally better than a maxed Fairy deck, for example.

When you're comparing decks where even one card is trapped at Level 20 to a main deck with all Level 50's, there's really no situation where the incomplete deck will be worth playing around with. Yes, every bit of cannon fodder--especially cannon fodder with a set bonus--is useful for Guild Wars.

The question is whether that deck is worth the opportunity cost. The more effort and resources you put into each (now monthly) event for an incomplete deck, the less you'll have left to upgrade your main deck, or to go all-in on an event to pick up one or two complete sets that might really make a difference.
