The purpose of the Gyrocopter is to scout. This effect is based on the Gyrocopter's "True Sight" passive ability which reveals invisible units, so there are no surprise attacks. Note that whilst the enemy Secrets are visible, they can still be triggered normally, but you can play around them easier. The anti-Stealth ability also applies to your own minions as well.

Thematically, peasants use resources to build buildings, and Scout Towers can't attack, so 0/2 seems right for them.
Deck wise, this would fit in any spread deck. You can't buff the turn you cast it, but that's the only major drawback. It also works well to protect your giants.

Reasons why this is better than you think:
1. Handbuffs
2. Synergy with cards that require you to play an Elemental last turn.
3. "At least I don't die immediately after being played..." Magma Rager

OMG, I want to thank Barista Lynchen for carying me to 12 wins in arena. I knew she was a good legendary, but when I actually got to play her, she was over-performing. Outside the expected synergies with the lackey generating minions and the lackeys themselves, I played her in a different combo: Aldor Peacekeeper and Mossy Horror. Dealing with taunts was easy peasy.
Right now I'm at the 21th pack and waiting for another legendary, but I can't wait to get the last one, so that I can start crafting them in peace. Since Lynchen helped me a lot in those games, I feel like crafting her as well.
Also, as a slight bonus - I actually received 420 gold (+ a golden Spider Bomb) from the chest, so the game wanted to greet me with the "420 Blaze it" meme.

Was playing Summoner Mage last night and got a mirror match. I was going 1st with mountain giant and conjurer's calling in hand, but no card draw. I was praying that he didn't have book of specters cuz the first person in the mirror to play a big minion is at huge advantage. On turn 2 he plays the dreaded book of specters. I sigh and start thinking of how I'm going to deal with a turn 3 mountain Giant.
But wait, what's this..... The 1st card from my opponents book is conjurer's calling. "Ok, we take those". 2nd card, other book of specters. "Damn, sucks to be him". 3rd card, 2nd conjurers calling. "Wow, I guess I just win".
So for the remaining 6 turns or so I always had at least 3 more cards in hand to play bigger drakes and astromancer. Basically as easy as a game of hearthstone can be without a disconnect. 2 mana, discard 3 cards, seems pretty good :D

Just beat a Lucentbark druid as control priest. Was able to successfully Mind Control both lucentbarks he created before he could make more. Then I found a Faceless Manipulator through Madame Lazul to get a third one. Kinda wish he didnt concede so the game could've gone on longer

Got tired of the polarity in standard and played a few games of wild. No big priests, Odd Paladin or Kinsgbane Rogue in five games! People playing all kinds of weird stuff at Wild rank 15. Much better than endless control warrior and Token Druid.

Just gave a big priest in wild 3 cornered sentries in a row to aid his resurrect pool..... i do hope he appreciated my efforts to help his choices expand :)

Warrior roping me the whole game. I have added him after the game and spoiled him the GoT leaked episode 2. Fuck you.

This opponent of mine had the worst luck over two turns in our Control Warrior mirror matchup. I play Hecklebot, which summons his Archivist Elysiana--a devastating blow since we were nearing fatigue. To make matters worse, he plays The Boom Reaver next turn which summons a copy of...Doomsayer. Moments like these make this game worth playing, I couldn't stop laughing XD

This would belong in the salt thread to many, but since I wasn't playing to win, it made me laugh, so I'm posting it in pepper.
I was playing a deck that I call "Garbage Bomber" at Rank 17 in Standard. It is based on Bomb Warrior, but has Warsong Commanders and mediocre charge minions. I was up against a Mage who had a very lucky Astral Rift. Edwin VanCleef happened in what appeared to be a deck running Mana Cyclone, meaning it probably could've been even bigger than 14/14. I just laughed and brushed it off.

Grats! I have only Mage so far. Warlock and Hunter are both around 415, Warlock is only there due to my recent surge in wanting to win with forms of Renouncelock. Paladin is at 393, Shaman and Priest are about 250, the rest are around 200 or below, with Rogue on the higher side of that. Druid is my last class to level 60 (currently 55) and Warrior got to level 60 just the other day. I remember that in my first few months of playing regularly in late 2015, all the other classes were approaching 50 ladder wins, Hunter maybe even 100, but Rogue was at 3. I didn't like Rogue much back then. More Burgle-type cards changed that. Now it has my second favorite deck in Tesspionage.

I bought the Raven bundle, and I got Countess Ashmore, a golden Supercollider, and Zerek's Cloning Gallery. Looks like I'll be playing more Priest in Wild, as much as I hate to admit it, seeing as I have Velen and Malygos. I still love Renounce Darkness to the end, though, and I actually got to Rank 9 and stayed there for more than two matches with my new Even version. Today is a good day!

Funny moment against Big Priest after playing Arch-Villain Rafaam:
Priest: *plays Death Grip; gets Y'shaarj, Rage Unbound."
Me: *laughing because he stole something that's already being run in his deck*
Priest's Vargoth: *replays Death Grip; Priest gets Barnes*
Me: *laughing even harder as I concede to his already huge board*

I really dislike it when I'm playing Reno Renouncelock and Reno Jackson could really save me, but isn't drawn. What truly adds to the salt though, is when he tries to be in my opening hand in my next match, and isn't even needed to win in that one.

Playing Reno Renouncelock again at Rank 10:
Mage: *has 24 damage on board with 2 Arcane Giants among his five minions*
Me at 24 health: "Please go anywhere other than the Mage's face, Ragnaros."
Ragnaros: "Sorry, I feel like SMOrc'ng today." *goes face*
Me: "I'm outta here." *concedes*

The "Little Spell" Mage deck (Cosmic Anomaly, Spellzerker, Shooting Star, Sorcerer's Apprentice, Vex Crow etc.) seems to win easily against Bomb Warrior. I play both that and Bomb Warrior in Standard, and every time I've seen this matchup so far, the Little Spell Mage wins. I'm sure it's possible for the Bomb Warrior to win, but I haven't seen it yet. Then again, I am only Rank 16-17 in Standard. (I've been Rank 7 in Wild this month, and I'm currently at Rank 10 there.)

I just hit Rank 10 (in Wild) for the first time in 3 years, and it's only my second time ever. I've been playing a Secret Paladin deck in the midrange style of 2015-2016, and I will be updating my list tomorrow.

While recording a YouTube video of me playing Renounce Darkness Warlock, I rolled Priest, played Confessor Paletress, used my hero power, and out came Malygos. The mage I was up against let Paletress live, and I hero power again next turn into Prophet Velen. That's one way to scare somebody, even if you don't have any damage spells in hand. The mage died to the minion damage the following turn.

I finally cleared Dungeon Run with Priest!
Priest was my last class, and I had a Scepter of Summoning and the battlecry totem in a nearly full-on C'thun deck, but with only one C'Thun. Final boss was Azari, and I was thinking "Heck no!" until C'thun came in my opening hand and I drew Wish early on, which saved me in the end.
As you can see, I defeated 124 bosses before clearing it with Priest, and I'll be revisiting the other classes for fun.
