It has the same issue that Centurion currently does. They're fine decks but this is a shit meta for them.
Both are grind-game focused control decks that have a lot of non-engine and great consistency but mediocre endboards. This also describes decks like Blue-Eyes Primite and Fiendsmith Control. That means that when you get into your favorable position of a simplified gamestate that it's much less of a winning scenario than it is in other metas.
On top of that they're fairly weak to hand traps in a hand trap spam meta. Usually this wasn't THAT big of a deal since you have your own hand traps to shut down the opponent with and your deck has a major edge in a top-deck war. But in the current meta, not only are the top control decks more resilient to hand traps, but even when you successfully hand trap them, they don't need to cross their fingers for followup. They have it guaranteed off of Fiendsmith/Primite cards recurring even when they don't get proper setup.
I still think they're fine if you want to play them, it's not like it'll be hard to get wins. I climbed the WCQ stage 1 with Centurion easily enough, but from a competitive standpoint it's clear why they fell off.
