It's a unique playstyle. In principle, I think that's a good thing, and the problematic part in your experience is the cost reductions, not discover.
However, I think it's problematic that each new playstyle seems to push traditional smorc and control further out of the meta, and the fact that rogue, priest, mage and warrior all have way too much card generation and even neutral discover/card generation tools are viable is a problem.
By traditional smorc, you mean aggro decks that run out of steam at some point, right? I don't understand that point of your post otherwise because Hunter smorc still exists, but I agree with the rest.
I also see cost reduction as the main problem, looking at Palm Reading and Still Broken Spring Water. Imo Discover effects are frustrating because many people compare it to drawing and then assume that discovering is so much more random and undeserved, but it's just you getting a card out of thin air instead of drawing it. If I play Runed Orb and find a Flamestrike or if I play a Cram Session and draw it, the result is the same. Does someone who naturally draws into it deserve the win more?
And honestly, people complain so much about Tickatus, but discovering additional resources is much better against Tickatus than drawing yourself closer to fatigue before getting ticked. So control decks kind of need the discovering to not get down to 5% wr against the Tick.
