When I first saw this card I thought it was amazing, but with a low amount of health and some pretty bad 4 drops (there are some pretty good ones too) I think that this card is ok. If you add up the average stast that you get from the deathrattle then it is pretty on par with a boulderfist ogre, if not better on average. I'd be happy with having this card in arena, but I'm not sure about constructed.
This card seems extremely good, especially in Arena as a high value Epic. 6 mana 6/4 is slightly low, but not only are the majority of 4-drops good but it means it'll usually +1 since the attack trades with so much, and even a bad 4-drop is gravy. The worst you can get is...Mogu'shan Warden, I would think?
Won't replace cairne, since cairne has better alloted stats, and you're sure about what you'll get (a yeti, which is one of the best 4s, considering that the battlecries won't even get activated with this).
This is probably the best of the cycle. Though the 4 health really hurts, 4-cost minions are generally strong and would make up for it. Its kind off interesting in that they trade their 4-drop to give you a 4-drop.
It could replace Cairne in budget builds, simply due to the fact it is an Epic and therefor crafted much easier...could even replace it normally simply due to killing Belchers and whatnot.
By no means is this better than Cairne or Sylvanas, but it's definitely a powerful card; even with some of the weaker 4 drops it's still solid value. There seem to be a fair number of synergies working around Mech cards, and there could be many more in the cards we've yet to see, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is the 6-drop of choice (or at least run alongside Cairne or Sylvanas) in Mech decks.
I really wish its att/hp were reversed. It think it would be able to get more value before dying that way. Still seems good, not sure if constructed worthy, but seems great in arena, especially seeing how bad the epic slot normally is.

That's great value.
There aren't many bad 4-drops, just ones that are less optimal for the current circumstances.
Imagine if Leeroy were still 4-mana. That'd be an awesome pull!
This card screams value, regardless. Worst you could pull is, what, a big game hunter?
If you aren't playing Paladin, you're doing it wrong.

BGH is 3 mana.

Probably a 4/1 twilight drake. See: http://www.hearthpwn.com/cards?filter-cost-val=4&filter-cost-op=3&filter-premium=1&filter-type=4&
I hope they really step up the randomness and let you pull class cards that are 4 mana as well. Imagine getting a Pit Lord. So much value.
Overall an rng cairne?
This card is insane right? It beats a Sludge Belcher while leaving value behind. Will probably replace Cairne.

But 5 attack on the front end is so important to trade profitably with Belcher and Loatheb, and this guy has 6!

Does this card mean you can u can pull from different classes as well?
Plot twist: The Piloted Sky Golem was piloted by the Piloted Shredder.
That would be pretty hilarious. I didn't even realize that.

I'd assume yes because of this tweet: https://twitter.com/bdbrode/status/531103499699122178
