This card is a must have in Mech hunter deck :)

Also can be used in Mech Paladin with card like https://www.hearthpwn.com/cards/89847-crystology :)

Top tier magnetic minion. Probably will see play in many mech decks and maybe other types of deck as well. 

So I think the time is about right to make a list of Silverback Patriarch power creeps starting from Naxxramas.

Naxxramas 

- Deathlord

Goblins vs Gnomes

- Gnomeregan Infantry

- Lil' Exorcist

Blackrock Mountain

- None

The Grand Tournament

- None

League of Explorers

- Fierce Monkey

Old Gods

- Squirming Tentacle

Kharazan

- None

Mean Streets of Gadgetzan

- Hired Gun

Journey to Un'Goro

- Hot Spring Guardian

- Stonehill Defender

- Tar Creeper

Knights of the Frozen Throne

- Crypt Lord

- Drakkari Defender

Kobolds and Catacombs

- Lone Champion (kinda)

The Witchwood

- Phantom Militia

The Boomsday Project

- Bronze Gatekeeper

So as we can see, Journey to Un'Goro is the most brutal towards Silverback Patriarch, with 3 Patriarch powercreeps, 1/3 was seen in many decks at one point and 2/3 still seen in many decks today.

Just counting things that have better stats/cost or have additional card text. you've forgotten Twilight Geomancer and Druid of the Swarm.

But I wouldn't count Hired Gun Lil' Exorcist or since they don't have 4 health, or Deathlord since it has a drawback.

It’s because silverback patriarch is bad. 

Obligatory Silverback Patriarch powercreep that happens in almost every expansion,

I wonder will this be popular enough to make The Black Knight staple again.

Would of been insane as a 2/4

"Would of"

Keep the mech theme going, generic but useful n I say, it’s cool

...

Leave Silverback Patriarch alone already 

That's pretty neat stuff. If you gete this on Upgradeable Framebot there's no way aggro is getting through that without  silence

hunters mark?

well giving taunt to something big and deathrattly is always nice...
