If they don't add any new mech card, Gorillabot A-3 will have to discover one of the following:

• Alarm-o-Bot
• Demolisher
• Harvest Golem
• Gorillabot A-3
• Clockwork Knight

If nothing is done, Standard will be a huge nerf to Gorillabot A-3.

Curator is still decent outside of maybe 3-4 cards; Gorillabot just became nigh on worthless. Mech decks will virtually vanish from standard.

 They will completely vanish into the wild. The only viable mech left is harvest golem. gorrilabot and clock knight will not make a mech deck work. 

I do imagine that the next expansion will partially shore up some of the more obvious gaps in class balance, but tribes? hopefully so. 

beasts are actually better, no real heavy loss there beyond gahz, which was nice from a random but who runs it? 

Maybe the new expansion will be "More Goblins vs. More Gnomes" and mechs could rule the meta once again? 

 

 I only say virtually because we don't know the new expansion; one class may get pushed towards mechs as a tribe. That pretty much has to be kept in mind when evaluating all the changes incoming for Standard play; we don't know around potentially 25%-33% of the card pool.

So.. Gorillabot is nearly useless now? No mechs to trigger from, and none to discover?

@ OP

You are wrong about Webspinner. Yes, this minion is still available through Ball of Spiders, but it is no longer available as a playable minion. So Webspinner in Standard counts as as TOKEN of Ball of Spiders. Since it's not a playable Card, Webspinner will NOT be coming from Ram Wrangler or Mounted Raptor, since both of them doesn't drop tokens, only playable minions. And Webspinner is sadly no longer playable.

So in the end Webspinner will ONLY be available through Ball of Spiders, NOTHING more!
