This. Same goes and to discarded Olgierd and any other carryover that you can't actually answer. And while you can do something about any other carryover, Wardancer is just BANG - you're fucked. And that problem amplified first with the Dorf Meta (the horror) and than when Cleaver was changed to make this insane Brouver CA abuse combo we have right now, making Wardancer even more problematic.
Why it wasn't problematic before? Cause ST had to work with way different decks before all of that, like, how can you put Wardancer in the Spella'Tael deck? It was one of those "sleeping cards", like when everybody and their mother were using MGHailstorm or Silver Spy with Summoning Circle. All of those were abusive mechanics and had to be removed from the game FOR GOOD. And those are Silver Cards, not a Bronze of which you have 3 copies for even more abuse (starting R1 with 6 points on the board an be devastating if Oppo got the Blue and is playing a slower tempo/combo deck).
Honestly, I think people that are defending the Warcancer had never played anything outside specific ST decks, to see how exactly it turns the game around on your head.
