He was obsessed with explosives until he discovered knitting. Now he yells, “SWEATERS! MORE SWEATERS!”

Couldn't he be an 8 Mana 7/9? He'd be cost/stat neutral so only one enemy minion death and he'd be providing value. Plus, a 9 health minion would be fairly sticky, helping him trigger his effect more.
I've been using a weird odd dragon paladin deck where this guy occasionally pulls through.
He feels decent if you can trade a lot of minions with your opponent on the turn you play him, but he's really situational and got hit pretty hard by the ancient Leper Gnome nerf.
I wouldn't recommend crafting him unless some awesome Wild synergy comes around, but I can't bring myself to disenchant him either.
Just wanted to say this guy has single-handedly won me a game in Randomonium brawl :)
EDIT:
And lost another one, too :(
Aren't those cards affected by every legendary?
Well, since Backstreet Leper has been created and we are stuck with it. Why not fix the wild card Mekgineer Thermaplugg which was a bad card that got nerfed indirectly by the Leper Gnome nerf?
Perhaps the card would say something like summon a random leper?
This card affects other cards too:
Confessor Paletress, Sneed's Old Shredder, Prince Malchezaar, Shifter Zerus
We should really demand a buff for this one
It's ironic that a useless card is going to be even more useless. He doesn't see play and won't see play when rotated to wild.
Can be useful in conjunction with Preparation and Blade Flurry
I run the card just for fun and honestly I love it, it's won me a lot of games
Saw him being used in a Mech Mage deck yesterday, does anyone else tried him in any decks?
have opened a golden one and a normal one, as a f2p -__-
Has anyone made a deck where you play warsong commander and this
Mech warrior for fun, it's amazing
This would be alright in a double deathrattle brawl, since the leper gnomes can deal 4 each, and Shredders, Spiders and Harvest Golems provide a massive number of weak minions you can murder for more gnomes.
Seems legit.
I just opened this... Dust it? (I don't really need the dust currently, and this is the type of card I love *IF* it actually ever gets made viable...)
Nice card not so usefull in decks but it is really good card :D
opened him, guess going for the 400 now, especially TGT is in tha house sonn
if someone creates a deck around this card i will be happy to see it
It creates value, what's not to love?
