He's very fun when you actually get to use his effect, but he's one of the lowest tier legendaries (and doesn't even fill a niche like say King Mukla) and given how almost every legendary of his cost is better than him is unlikely to ever see use.
I have found Mekgineer to be a reliable finisher, especially when you start pooping out Leper Gnomes after clearing off some weak minions. In the right hands, he is DEVASTATING! I advise against turning him into dust.
I tossed him in my Patron warrior deck for a late game play in case my combos didn't work out/get drawn and have been very surprised at the results. He acts as a third Grim Patron that you can combo with Warsong Commander, if he's on the board for a turn, or if you use Emperor Thaurissan to knock down his cost.
With Warsong Commander on the board the Leper Gnomes just keep coming. I've brought down people from 16+ health using a weapon or Execute to start a gnome Avalanche. I think the reason you don't see him more often as a last ditch play in patron warrior is that people assumed he was worthless on release of GvG and dusted him. Very glad I held on.
as people have stated, it's not that great but personally i wouldnt dust him unless you really need to craft something else.
he was my first legendary from GvG and I include him in my gimmick decks for non-ranked play. Try him out, maybe you'd like him. I had fun using him but he's generally a win-more card.
