There is one very important thing you are not taking into consideration.
The timing between the nerfs and the GMs decks selections.
Let’s take No Hands specifically. We know his video discussion of the meta happened 21 hours ago.
21 hours ago the GMs were already playing this week, so his decision making to not bring Paladin was NOT equally current with his understanding of the meta 21 hours ago.
The only way you can settle this is by personally asking him if knowing what he knows now, and if the other GMs also knew that information during deck selection, whether he would have brought Paladin to GM this week.
