In the Bant deck with a few exalted guys and a threat that keeps attacking your opponent, holding Cancel is sick as hell.
w/e though I am sure you are a genius Magic player
I'll stick with the advice of pros that I know rather than some random 2p2ers.
Let's forget about this stupid argument anyway.
Yo, I think you may have misunderstood what you saw and interpreted in regards to pros drafting Cancel. If you saw pros taking Cancel first pick in Rochester specifically, it was likely to send a signal to neighbors that the Cancel-drafter wants to be the blue mage...not because Cancel was the most amazing, sick nasty card in the pack.
Also, it very much is not removal. It IS a one-for-one trade vs a wide range of things, and most removal is also a one-for-one trade vs most of that same range, so I guess I can see how you jumbled the terminology there.
