Youthful brewmaster sees little play but it itself is a 2/5 card, I think this is a step up at 3/5

But, why? Why are you running bad removal to make efficient minions more efficient? Even if this does improve on han’cho it would have to do so a hell of a lot to make him good, which this absolutely does not. The likelihood of Akali’s effect triggering twice is abysmal, he has 5 Health, if he isn’t on like 1 Health after the first trade, he can be traded in to by a nothing minion. He might be okay against specifically a midrange deck that for some reason hasn’t stuck a big minion by turn 8 but against aggro and control this card is worthless.

You’re playing an 8 mana 4 damage removal so you can have ONE piece of better removal later? Seems pretty awful to me.

What mechs are you playing in your deck besides dyn-o-matic and zilliax? Also that’s not how it works, Rush minion =/= minion with rush, as in it needs to actually say Rush on the card. Countess doesn’t draw elementals after jaina so this won’t pull mechs after Boom.

Why do people like this? it’s a worse Don’Hancho effect on a worse body for more mana.
1. You can’t hit ANY good minions like you could with Han’cho like a Charge minion or a handbuff minion.
2. The effect is conditional, your opponent needs a 4 or less health minion.
3. You need to be running enough rush minions for this to consistently work (and you’re not playing Baku).
4. Han’cho WASN’T a good card, so this is absolute garbage.
Yes, I know he was rush, but 4 damage rush doesn’t make every other aspect being worse than an already awful card.

Umm, what? All the teams have loa’s expect for priest who has Bwonsamdi, who is either going to be a hero card or a minion for no reason while the lynx loa is the new hero card.

war gear, bronze gatekeeper, Glow-tron, skater bot, venomizer, zilliax, and annoy-o-module are all pretty good, and replicating menace and missile launcher aren’t terrible, so only one of the 11 magnetic cards is actually bad, beryllium nullifier. In addition to those the good mechs are eternium rover, coppertail imposter, dyn-o-matic, mechano-egg, mecharoo, upgradeable frame bot, and I myself love all the goblin bomb cards, and that’s not mentioning mech creators like the gigglign inventor.
As for decks, here are three I made
Mech Warrior – https://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/decks/mech-warrior-23/
Mech Paladin – https://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/decks/mech-paladin-21/
Mech Hunter – https://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/decks/ticking-abomination-goblin-boonanza/
and here are some from the community
Mech Paladin – https://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/decks/mech-pal-5/
Mech Warrior – https://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/decks/theorycraft-mechwarrior/
I think mechs look pretty strong
Whirliglider
it’s pretty garbage to just throw in a deck, but if you build around the goblin bombs this could be pretty powerful, especially in hunter with stuff like cybertech chip, void ripper, and the new baron riverdale

I’ve been playing for 2 and half years, “ever” was an exaggeration but it certainly hasn’t been played in 2 years. And if it has been power creeped off the face of the earth my point still stands, they made a CURRENTLY unplayable card worse and made it legendary
Harbinger Celestia
I don’t think it should have to do with power level, Mecha’thun is obviously weak but super cool. This on the hand I can agree with you on, this is a card we’ve already seen before (mirror entity), but it is not secret, and costs 1 extra mana, which would be okay if mirror entity wasn’t already a card that never saw any play
Holomancer
hey, atleast it’s not the 4 mana legendary that’s strictly worse mirror entity!
Astromancer
if this was a druid or neutral card it would be completely broken, blizzard favors balance over flavor, also calm tf down
Cloning Device
“Hey, you know the card we printed a while back, psionic probe?”
“ya”
“Well it never saw any play right?”
“ya”
“Well how about we increase its cost to 2 and make the pool of available cards worse?”
“that makes a lot of sense.”
Celestial Emissary
I hope people don’t judge this based on unexpected results, unexpected results is so bad playing this with that card is basically throwing this card away. I think that this card is very powerful, in tempo mage this could be a one of if taunts continue to persist. But I think the real application is in big spell mage to inch up that dragons fury or flamestrike to wipe out the board, definitely a one of in big spell mage, maybe a two of.
Unexpected Results
the digit is upgraded not the spelled out word, it says “two” in the number of minions and “2” in the cost of minions so it will affect the cost.
Weaponized Pinata
If this does see constructed play it will be in quest priest. Generating a bunch of legendary minions with twighlights call will be really helpful as quest priest is very reliant on much more rng cards to give you good value like bone drake and oracle. This gives you good value about 75% of the time so I think it’s definitely good enough for constructed if quest priest sees play.
Mulchmuncher
this is absolutely better than deathwing, spiteful does nothing when it’s played but drop a fatty, if you pull this it is also removal. Even if your opponent removes this it still did something, unlike deathwing. And if your opponent has no minions and you drop a spiteful they’ve basically lost already. I think the smallest stat drop with no text this is worse than is about 15/15.
This is by far the strongest card of the expansion.
