Yup, they're all too weak and I'd be surprised if they manage to make a deck above tier 3 based on mechs.

I've been saying it for a while, and have even gotten some hate before of it. Now I get to do the "I told you so" dance.

I am scared too. Too many new mechanics are either win-more or too dependant on drawing the right cards in the right order. Mechs are scary if you let them do their thing, but playing a mech deck from behind against other midrange/tempo decks based on murlocs, genn, baku, beasts or elementals could be a very painful experience!

In standard no, even the best mechs are pretty meh

in wild however, absolutely.

I thought that they would be crap, but seeing some gameplay from the fireside gathering pre release I have to say that the magnetic effect may be really good to snowball on slower decks if combo decks become the thing, the ability to target specific removal by spreading on board or buffing a single minion is really strong imo

I agree with op the do seem weak on paper.. that won't stop me from tinkering with different mech decks.. hoping to open dr.boom or glank or kangor's army.

Yes, they are weak. They are not good in control decks because they don't provide survivability nor heals (except Zillax and Missiles Launcher, the only good mechs, though they are not playable alone). If you are trying to build a midrange deck instead, mechs are good but you have to focus only on them, otherwise Magnetic minions will be too inconsistents. In order to this, you have to play also vanilla mechs like Upgradable Framebot and/or Nightmare Amalgam, but then, how good will be those in the new meta? Finally, if you want to play aggro, mechs aren't that good because they all have defensive stats (2 mana 1/5, 3 mana 1/5 taunt, 1 mana 1/3 etc), except for Steel Rager LUL. I'm a bit sceptical on this tribe...

I don't they will cut it. Compare them to dragon tribe decks for example. If you hold a dragon, deal 3 damage to all minions, gain 1 health/attack for each card etc. Power level of mech cards are nowhere near.

This proves that most hearthpwn members lack creativity or aren’t just good in the game. Like someone said earlier the mech’s performed very well in the brawl.

Mechs have alot of value, they can magnetize and instant charge. Alot of mechs have divine shield, combo that with high hp and lifesteal... you get the point. 

The real beauty about mech’s (and magnetize)in this expac is that they can be very aggresive and also very defensive. 

 Yeah , they are so versitile. I mean what do people expect? 

All Mechs having great stats? I belive they all forget those Mechs all have (potentialy) charge/rush, and are not that bad if you are behind on board. If Mechs had Chillwind Yeti stats all the way(from 2Mana2/3 until 6 Mana 6/7) with Magnetise they would be broken as hell.

Anybody remember the feeling when seeing Branching Paths the first time? Was like well seems ok, but meh... Turns out having multiple options is strong and now its a staple in the druid core. Magnetic is the same, looks a bit meh but having multiple choices shouldnt be underrated. I think it will work out, maybe not multiple tier 1 decks but we'll get something with mechs.

 lolol 12 armor mad skill brah. I dont think I have EVER seen a druid use any of the other options. It's a faceroll card for a faceroll class.

On topic - mech decks will fizzle out nearly instantaneously and we will be back to the same old Witchwood decks with one or two additions. They are too gimmicky and prone to silence. I doubt even the strongest mech deck will be able to beat a single of the druid decks.
