I think the best example is -The Scourge- I don't see a lot of people hard run this card in their deck, but you do lose games to it, when they discover it through Nerubian Vizier (which is played in 80% of the decks).
People don't pay the price (drawing it early, clogging up their hand) of running a situational 9 cost card in their decks, they just play random discovers and sometimes reaping what should be the reward for running the 9 mana spell in their deck.
The Discover mechanic also destroyed the purpose of situational cards. Why would you put a situational card in your deck and get punished for it in the bad situations, when you can put a discover card in it instead, and fish for what you need?
How about the Juggernaut giving a 3/1 Weapon and a 3/3 Pirate, instead of Gorehowl and Mr.Smite? Yep, just losed to our favourite experience right here

Any tips on how to play around it?
