    Hmm, feels it's only has purpose to clear out small minions or huge taunt minion with low attack. Will not see play.

    EDIT: I think the card is fine, rush or windfury can allow to let you choose by threatening the opponent by leaving this mech on the board or clearing the board. I think I'll play this card on the first day on mech decks together with the Camouflaged Dirigible.

    pretty decent in Arena...also Windfury Harpy powercreep.

    Could be interesting with Galvanizer and mAgnetize, but I don't think it's worth it.

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Great with Ziliax, but probably too slow to see play. Maybe some oblivitron shenanigans can be worth it?

    Being a mech it could be pretty nice with Zilliax and other magnetic cards.

    Really isn't a bad card at all, a smaller more limited Batterhead is another comparison...best case scenario is you can kill two minions with it. But I don't really think its good enough in standard to see play.

    Arena it could be good, and maybe even in wild where mech Paladin is a thing with all the handbuffs.

    A mech with windfury and rush and with 5 hp it can remove maybe 2 targets - seems kinda strong.

    This card has an interesting enough set of key words that its got potential. Its likely too clunky for much play in constructed, but on occasion it will do some surprising stuff.

    To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the women.

    rush automatically makes the card good, but it sucks that warrior basically gets the same thing 3 turns earlier with invokes

    The card is solid, but unlikely to be ladder material. It should be noted though: windfury makes magnetic especially scary.

    I smiled at the flavour text though: "The hula doll is still absolutely required." which is a call-back all the way to the flavour text of Flying Machine.

    An actually decent neutral minion with wind fury? Don’t see something like that too often do you? Could see it maybe being good, magnetize makes it pretty scary too

    Who needs consistency when you could have fun?

    That card was never good though, except when it was used only for the keyword since it was the only even windfury card in some classes.

    Another Powercreep of Descent of Powercreeps.

    Probably decent arena card, Can't be sure for ladder. Might do great things in Warrior and Paladin tho.

    We have a card to make mechs invisible, we can magnetize stuff upon it... And isn't this the only windfury mech in standard? I'd say this will be dangerous.

    very powerful, being able to take out two minions of your choice is very powerful. This probably won't survive the attacks unless you are just punching Healing Totems and silver hand recruits.

    Dealing 4 damage is worth 3 mana, so dealing 4 damage to two targets would be worth 6 mana, also, assuming this doesn't die on the first punch, you can hit the same minion twice dealing 8 damage to any one target.

    This also has a chance of leaving a body behind, not to mention it is a mech, and neutral. 

    This is a very powerful common and will be used in any deck that needs the removal.

    When is Boom's day rotating out of standard again? 
    Because a windfury-ous minion with magnetic accomplices can do some serious damage.
    But mana for stat, kinda weak, if it wasn't from the windfury, I'd rate it only 1.

    Windfury Harpy didn't see any play, but this might see a little due to the Rush mechanic (being able to kill 2 smaller minions), and since it's a Mech there is plenty of support for it. In all fairness though, I can't see a deck this fits in, Mech usually tend to be faster with cheaper minions and Magnetic cards, and while this is a strong card in theory, I don't think people are going to run it. I give it 3 stars.

    The cost and the effect aren't bad, actually are quite nice. I don't think this card is good enough to see play in constructed, but when is generated by a random can be very good. In arena i think is a card that you see and you instantly pick

    Mech Paladin includes this for sure. With 10 mana you get this + Annoy-o-Module - so a 6/9 with Divine Shield, Windfury, Rush, and Taunt. Hey! It's basically a power-ed up mech upgrade to Siamat for 3 more mana at that point!

    Decent in Arena but you dont' want to put it in your deck in constructed probably. So this card can be pretty from discover and/or when you can magnetize stuff upon it

     So apparently adding Rush to a common card makes it a DoD common.

    Reminds me of Restless Mummy, seems powerful. People seem to forget you don't have to attack with this when you play it. Just buff it the next turn and go face. As if wild Mechadin wasn't too much already.

    Maybe not worth it for constructed, but that's an impactful mech, that really benefits from mech synergies. The effect and stats fit the concept of gyrocopter nicely. Fun, good designed addition imo. :)

    A decent removal tool for mech decks and if it sticks around it becomes quite a nice base for a magnetize follow up.

    A very strong mech! Windfury + rush is something we need to be scared of. It doesn't look like a must include card but it's playable for sure. If there will be enough mechs to make a deck after the next rotation this card will be a part of it IMO. And yeah it's a solid arena pick.

    Probably too expensive and too poorly statted to see play. Lots of these new cards have 5 attack or 5 health, making trades unfavorable. Might be good in Arena for mopping up 2 minions in one turn.

    Oh good. More ammunition for that god awful Wild Buff Mech Paladin that has been terrorising the Ladder recently. How lovely. 

     My moaning aside, this is actually pretty decent and doing 8 damage for 6 Mana is actually pretty good. There's been some good Mech cards thrown in with this Expansion that seem to be getting lost in the clamour for Dragons. Aggro Mech Warrior anyone?

    At a 6 mana cost, I doubt this will see any competitive play. With the sheer amount of stats this expansion brings, it's even bad as removal: it will die instantly in contact with target at the point you can play this. Harpy didn't see play and this won't although there's a mech tag.
