This is the card we're talking about : E.M.P. Operative

I know it's a poorly stated minion, I mean even likes playing a 5 mana 3/3.

But recently, even more since the buffs, mechs are everywhere. 

From Pogo rogue and 1 mana 15/15s to Mech paladin which magnetizes all their mechs onto one, I feel like the Operative could have a window of playability. 

What do you guys think?

PS : Secondary debate after seeing your comments :) 

Seeing what everybody has said (and I agree) I feel like it should even be 3 mana. If at 4, spellbreaker would be prioritized, and I do not think 3 mana would be broken. 

When you think of it, the Golakka Crawler and the Hungry crab were well stated (2 mana 2/3 and 1 mana 1/2) and they had a similar effect. It is true that Mechs tend to be bigger than Pirates and Murlocs, but that is mostly due to the magnetic ability. Making it a 3/3 without a gain in stats when the battlecry condition is applied. 

Also, I know it may seem super OP at 3 mana, but I believe Mechs are just too OP. They dominate so strongly the meta that enabling a playable E.M.P. Operative would give other tribe-decks a chance to fight back. 

What do you think?

Spellbreaker is as good as Operative in most matches and better against Mech Paladin due to Kangor's Endless Army.

True.

Thats the only thing I can say xD

I think big game hunter is a better choice for removal tech. After the card buffs I added 2 spellbreakers and 1 operative to my control warrior list, but then switched the latter for BGH as the operative seemed to be useless in most games.

 AND far better statted were you to play it as a vanilla minion. Oh, and more flexible too.

E.M.P. Operative is just a poor tech card which is vastly overshadowed by silence minions.

I always thought this should be a 4 mana card.

 All of the above.

i.m.o. should be a 5 mana 3/5 that says: Battlecry: Silence and destroy a mech. That might be worth it putting it in your deck now.

Yeah 3 mana is fine, I wouldn't be sad at all if less mechs see play.
