This card seems really, really strong for mech aggro. This card seems too strong, actually. A 2/2 buff every turn? Outrageous.

Nope, the mech-midrange. :D

Also, what Rogue really needs is a 6+ mana class minion for finishing off the opponent, IMO.

They do, to replace the spot left by that neutral 4 mana man that at least had chicken.

I like this card. 3 mana 2/2 is below curve, but it still trades with 3/2s at least and while his effect cannot be used the turn you play him you do still get the effect EoT so it is something that won't be "prevented", unless you kill off all your Mechs that turn for some reason. If that happens, he is sort of like a super Shattered Sun Cleric that trades in 1 attack and some speed for an extra +1/+1 on the buff and being repeatable. T1 Coin Mechwarper into T2 Iron Sensei gives you a Yetiwarper and a 2/2 that can probably trade with the enemy 3/2 and will be a very strong opening vs. Control especially. He also makes Annoy-o-Tron much better in Rogue, as Iron Sensei can combine to make him a 3/4 Divine Shield Taunt which is very nice and "protects" the Sensei, though his low health means you shouldn't bank on him surviving that long.

I also enjoy that he is something Rogue specifict hat is worth Master of Disguising. I doubt that combo will be great, since Iron Sensei is so vulnerable to AoE, but simply having the option around is nice and it helps give some Rogue inner-synergy.

In Arena, this card will be very dependant on the amount of mechs you have: With few or no mechs, this card is a 3 mana 2/2, which is pretty useless, but with a decent amount of Mechs he becomes a powerhouse. Probably something you will not want to pick early, but later on it ticks up a lot in value, and Mechwarpers/Annoy-o-Trons with this can dominate an Arena match.

You would have a point, but MAYBE it isn't a one time effect, which might make it op. We need a clarification on that, because if it is once and only once, than it's fine. If it's more than once, rogue just got an amazing minion.

I know that the affect happens at the end of your turn every turn, but a 2/2 will die

2 mana 2/3 will become the new standard with Mechwarper showing up everywhere. A 3 mana 2/2 will be horrible against that.

I imagine we'll still probably see 3/2s, though, at least in Knife Juggler and on ocassion Acidic Swamp Ooze, plus Flame Imp and stuff like Power of the Wild in Druid.

EDIT: In addition, 3/2s go up in value with Mechwarper everywhere because 2/3s allow the Mechwarper owner to trade more actively by removing the one health if it trades into an enemy 2/3.

Guys!! Remember you can not benefict from it the turn you play it, so for aggro/tempo its not really good because it rolls off to how the opponent will play rather than you.

I think its an ok card tho, but far from OP.

It says "at the end of your turn" so while you can't attack with it this will still help with survivability. And it pretty much forces a removal/silence from your opponent if they have one versus your other things.

Love this card. If it causes the opponent to panic and spend a removal on it, I say you win that value trade. I think he's defendable enough with the hero ability and backstabbing. 

At first I wasn't sold on the theme of the expansion, but the class cards look really fun and kind of fitting.

The stats are really a hit against this one. 2/2 just dies to everything. I'm not sure of just getting 1 buff off of this thing is enough to make it worth it. This does give me an excuse to use Master of Disguise in constructed though, so who knows.

You could also do MechWarper turn 2 and sensei plus annoy-o-tron turn 3.  If the buff hits the Annoy-o-tron he becomes infinitely more annoying to get through.  I like the card personally I enjoy playing rogue due to it's cheap removal so you could theoretically keep your opponents board clear with backstab while while slowly building up a mechanical army for him to deal with.

Ok i never even for a second believed that silence would actually become a thing since it landed with such a thud after Naxx... but with all this mech buffing that's gonna be happening on every turn from every class, part of me thinks that silence is gonna finally get some traction.

What are you talking about, everybody is running owl these days.

This seems really good. I mean its a 3mana 2/2 that will guaranteed stick around long enough to give a buff to a minion (since its effect is at the end of your turn). 

Looks like they're trying to diversify the amount of viable decks, since this will promote more tempo rogues, and maybe even an aggro rogue with the way things are going.

It's decent but boring. I think they could make this card better just because it's a class card and really encourage a temple mech deck. As of now, only Miracle is a viable. Aggro, Temple and Control are pretty much non-existent.

Maybe at least a 2/3?

Seems great for tempo rogue...Hopefully that'll be a thing again (with mechs).

It would likely have to become a thing if the rumors about Gadgetzan Auctioneer's nerfs are legit. :o

I run a Spellbreaker in Ctrl Warrior and two Owls in Handlock.

The neutral silence minions are really weak and usually even if you silence something, you still make a bad trade. If owl was 2/2 and spellbreaker 4/4 they would see much more play, and I don't think they would be overpowered.
