    Welp, I'm on board with mech warrior now. This is what it needed, pretty much to the letter. A good mech on its own, in class. It's a prime discover and synergizes well with boom and pretty much exactly the kind of thing I'd want to magnetize. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this card is in almost every warrior deck regardless of the archetype (even warrior withstanding, of course).

    It's good against aggro, it's a huge tempo play, it's a low cost over stated mech tribal for synergy with magnetic, it's in class for that omega discover card. It's easy to overlook how much of an effect Dire Mole has had, and continues to have on the meta because it's a vanilla and it's not very interesting design wise; this card is no different in its potential in the same way that Zombie Chow and Mistress of Mixtures had.

    The problem with this card is that there are no good targets for it. The best targets you can get (at the moment of writing) are still terrible and warrior doesn't have any good mechs in class to take advantage of the extra weight on class cards discover has. It's pretty much the same problem Dr Boom, Mad Genius's got.

    I'm asking myself who's going to play it. It's too slow for aggro and smorc, it's doesn't provide good option value for midrange (pool of mechs is bad), it's not part of any great or consistent combos (so far as I can tell), and control never sees the omega effect since Skulking Geist is played heavily as tech against other decks (even if control did get the effect off, do they really want Meat Wagons clogging up their hand when they're struggling not to burn things as it is?).

    Finally we have tribal mech decks. Yea, this card is amazing, hands down... Provided tribal mech is a good decktype. But based on what we have been shown so far, it's not. Maybe some crazy recruit Beryllium Nullifier magnetic exodia deck will come out of left field but I kinda doubt it. I'm still holding out hope that this card gets the support it needs though.
