This was actually an idea I had for a card about a year ago when I was trying to figure out what the first 3/6 neutral minion should be. The main purpose I had intended for this card was simply to counter Silence, which I believe was much more common before the Old God's expansion. Now that Blizzard is kind of pushing Silence Priest, a card like this could help him out a little.
I also think it is way overstatted for a neutral 4 drop.
Blizzard will eventually make a neutral 4 mana 3/6 sooner or later. The whole reason I made this card was to make a 4 mana 3/6 with an effect that was too situational for it to matter. It just so happens that this card could have additional synergy with Silence Priest.
I like the card. However, I would either make it a 3/5 or remove mech tag.
Is this because it would be too op in Wild? That makes sense, but I don't think Blizzard designs cards around Wild. (Of course, we can never know for sure)
Not necessarily, as the combo with Wailing Soul as stated above wouldn't work as the Mechanical Parrot would also get silenced. It's more that I think that Blizzard values a tag about as much as one stat point and a 3/7 or a 4/6 with beneficial text for 4 mana would simply be a really good card.

Mech decks aren't even a thing in Standard though. The tag wouldn't really do much. If Mech decks become a thing again (and I know a lot of us want them to) then, like you said, this card would be a little too good.
If that card was in my priest deck, people would be begging for a nerf.
There are already a crap load of synergies in hearthstone that are significantly more powerful. This card alone wouldn't make Silence Priest good, it would simply provide more synergistic options.
I think you are associating "synergy" with "Combo"
Silencing this card is the combo. Putting it in a deck with wailing soul gives it more synergy. But wailing soul already has synergisms, this only increases the amount of synergy in a silence deck with one card.
I think this card is boring, as it's pretty much a priests ali'kir. And for 4 mana, that's pretty broken.

Doesn't work with Wailing Soul since it gets silenced as well. Its effect won't trigger if it's silenced.

I'd like to hear at least a few thoughts on this card, if you don't mind.
Another 4 drop for priest?
I also think it is way overstatted for a neutral 4 drop.

Silence Priest needs more minions like Ancient watcher.
Also any priest archetype needs good card draw.
But don't worry, we will have joke cards.
And real priest cards Ethereal Peddler, Moonglade Portal and even Forbidden Healing will go to other classes.

I think that card is overpowered.
Personally I think the priest should get a secret that silences battlecries and a secret that silences minions played.
I think there can be cards where a buff can be applied for silencing, but I wouldn't know any good ones, other than negating debuffs.
Playing cards dealt, dealing cards played.
That's clearly not a parrot -100/10.
Make the Card: The biggest thread on the site!
My mandibles which are capable of pressing down and tearing, my talons which are known to intercept and hold.
If that card was in my priest deck, people would be begging for a nerf.
