Everyone has 4 costs who can benefit some amount from a free Zabu effect

Not really, though. Pretty much the only time someone 100% will benefit is if they have 2 4s to drop on turn 4, which isn't really all that likely if they themselves aren't a Zabu deck

You have to think of it not in terms of cost reductions gained but in terms of what the alternative becomes. Most of my decks really value their 5 drops and their 6 drops. You can say "well they get some benefit" but like... most of the time I'm going to get an extra 2 drop at best. It almost doesn't matter.

It still works on turn 5, but would I rather drop a 4 and a 3 or a 5? Most of my decks I'm just going to drop a 5. It still works on turn 6, but would I rather drop a 4 + stuff then or drop a 6?

Like I'm not saying it helping both players doesn't provide some token benefit for the other player at all times, but I think the win rate on it would actually increase due to +1 power helping more than the 4 cost reduction helps the other guy. That's why I think if you go that way you need to make the benefit the other guy gets more generalized.

People who play against his nerfed form won't really feel happier either. They will just lose less.

You are strongly underestimating how much people like to win.
