The hero power seems pretty self sufficient, even giving you a way to discover mechs without needing to have any on hand yourself, and yes i know you could be never lucky and not get the discover mech option, but is it even necessary?

Those who are given more in life, must not cling to it, but risk it all at every moment!
I guess you could play Dr. Boom by itself because it amuses you, but I don't see why you would turn away from the permanent benefit. You can run Frost Lich Jaina without additional Elemental support because the Hero Power is self-sustaining and the Lifesteal is super awesome; Dr. Boom's Rush isn't as strong and his ability to generate more Mechs isn't reliable. Ultimately it's going to come down to the other available cards to determine how valuable Mechs-have-Rush is. If you want to play with the RNG Hero Power that's your prerogative, but it seems silly to me to ignore the Battlecry.
That being said, for Warriors who don't care about generating Armor with their base Hero Power, this could be an appealing alternative. Mostly because there is no alternative outside of Fire Plume's Heart lel.
Behold, foolish interlopers! I am commanding this mortal to spread the will of the Scourge throughout the interwebs, encouraging you to seek out me, Archlich Kel'Thuzad! Now coming to you as the tenth class of Hearthstone!
I am a finalist in this Class Creation Competition, so if you could give it a look I would be greatly appreciative <3
Definitely not. Pay 7 Mana for 7 armor and a good, but really ramdom, hero power? That's an insane tempo loss. Absolutely not worth it, especially when control warrior decks would rather just have the armor
Giving all your mechs rush is a way to compensate for the huge loss of tempo after playing the hero card. With Mechs, this card is a 4/5 stars. Without mechs, this card easily falls into the dust category.

This card is awesome. It’s a hero card. It will be used a lot. Guaranteed.
