Well, this card can see some play in Shaman or Druid decks. But 1 attack really sucks. (However, you can combine it with Hobgoblin so it's really not that bad.)
This is probably hit or miss, I see some great possibilities with Hobgoblin (Give a minion with 1 attack +2/+2).
So for 6 mana you get a 2/3 + 3/6 Windfury. Very strong, especially since it has high health with Windfury, great clearing potential.

Well, it is not as bad as the Silverback Patriarch or the Stoneskin Gargoyle because it technically is a '2/4'. I would not play it in constructed. Ever. But I would pick it over Silverbad in Arena. :P
Technically, it's more like a 2/2 that can split it's damage and take half damage if it does.
They have a seriously bad habbit of overestimating the value of health:
a 2/3 is NOT as good as a 3/2
A 1/4 is NOT as good as a 2/3 or 3/2.
... It needs to be buffed the turn it hits play.
High health means that priests can abuse it with Power Word: Shield
...
Wait.
Damnit. Warlocks can abuse the 4 health, too: It escapes the worst early removal, and the buffs used for Nerubian Egg becomes lethal with this one.
At worst, it's a 2/2 for 3, or 4 mana cost removal bait. At best, it deals 10 damage+ damage on turn 4 and creates an 11 health Void Terror
This is infinitely better than stone skin which when it get's silenced got one good hit in and that was it. The fact that this bad boy, when buffed, gives you the double face damage - well, it's the perennial wind fury dream, but mechs have more free buffs than you can shake a stick at. So i'm keeping my eye on it. Doubtful it'll do much, but I reeeeally want wind fury to be a thing.
This could potentially be a more powerful card than people are giving it credit for, given the various mech-centric combos that will be coming out, as well as Hobgoblin, a 3 drop that gives 1 attack minions +2/+2 when they're played.
At the very least it's a 2 drop that can trade fairly well with 1-2 health minions. Given some synergy or spare parts, it could potentially become rather dangerous, if played correctly.
Talk about this card!

I don't think this will be played a lot, tbh. Like a Gargoyle, it's only good when buffed.

Sounds like everyone here is forgetting the minion that gives 1 attack guys +2\+2, and the innumerable other ways just released of buffing mechs.
I can't be the only one vaguely excited about this thing simply for the classic death quote ("They came from behind!").
Sorry, you just missed being the worst card in the game. as windfury > heal at least.
But you sure got close.
It's a mech, but at this pont I THINK there's enough low mana mechs for them to use without this ugly thing. I hope so.
One does not simply walk into Mordor,
unless they want to be the best they can be.

A lot of ways to buff it since its a mech!
Just my 2 cents
lol wut
Try out my Resurrect Priest deck!
http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/227707-resurrect-priest
cray alchemist. 8 dmg :D
Drat, double drat and even a triple drat!
So a 2 mana minion for a 3 minion.

This one's going straight into my Pally windfury deck. Probably replacing Thrallmar Farseer, or the Dragonhawks
This card is actually pretty good in mech decks.
Mech Shammy=Great Powermace target and or rockbiter/Lust
Mech hunter= Metaltooth combos
