You aren't going to accidentally play War Axe because you forgot its mana cost was changed to 3.

You might accidentally play War Axe because you forgot its attack was reduced to 2.

I'm not saying it's the most sensible thing concerning decision making, but the logic is sound as to why it's less disruptive.

I don't get how that's sound. You aren't even defining what playing is. Is playing putting it in your deck? Or is it actually using the card in a match? Regardless, neither invalidates the inverse of your statement.

"You aren't going to accidentally play War Axe because you forgot its attack was reduced to 2.

At best, you could say that the mana cost increase prevents you from accidentally playing War Axe sometimes, because you literally can't play it, but I'd argue that that's endlessly more disruptive. And even if we're looking at deck-building, the only way it makes it harder to accidentally playing it is that it physically puts it in a different spot in the collection, so it's harder to put it in your deck without realizing a change has happened at that point. Except then, you're literally catering to a crowd of people who are refusing to read patch notes and ignoring unskippable changelogs that pop up when they first log into the game, who are going to be "disrupted" by literally any change which means everything has the same impact.
