It could work in a sort of Mill deck. Pull out their tech minions... Ripping out someone's Shudderwock or Mecha'Thun
Pretty much this card will be a worse deathlord most of the time.
This is worse than dirty rat bc it draw a minion from deck not from hand. You don't remove option from enemy hand.
this card rotate out naturalize?
Big mech warrior buff. They can run this without batting an eye and now they have a solid answer against combo.
Hecklebot + Recruitment Contract = Thanks for the free Shudderwock!
2x Deathlord, 2x Dirty Rat, 2x Gnomeferatu, 2x Demonic Project, and now this card?!!
Is KillJoy Lock gonna be a thing in Wild?
Throw in the old Howlfiend Treachery combo and if your feeling very spicy (or want memes) a Void Contract
Just watch the slower decks cringe in pain.
fits snugly in any Hadronox deck imo
I think people are overlooking this card's anti-aggro power. In zoo decks and a lot of other aggro decks, the summoned minion will usually just trade for 1-3 damage, making Hecklebot a Sen'jin Shieldmasta at worst. It's garbage against Control, though, and that looks like it'll be the name of the game come April.
It´s actually the complete opposite, mate. This card isnt THAT good vs aggro, since its basically a lot worse ,,deathlord", since the mana costs are higher an the effect isnt deathrattle but battlecry, so the minion can attack directly in the opponent´s next turn. Vs Control it´s a decent card though, since its a huge combo breaker, so to speak the new ,,dirty rat". Therefor it´s actually nice, that the effect is battlecry.
As a combo breaker, isn't this just a much worse Dirty Rat?
This is better if u are playing for fatigue
I think this creates an interesting decision point during the mulligan.
If the meta is Hecklebot-heavy, combo decks will need to make the tough decision on whether to hamstring themselves by keeping a key but ultimately dead card in their hand from the start of the game (e.g. Mecha'thun) or run the risk of it being pulled and ending their game on the spot.
C-C-C-Combo Breaker!
This is pretty powerful in a Hunter mech deck with magnetic mech poison and divine shield!!
Malygos: I AM THE ESSENCE OF MAGIC!
Hecklebot:
You still need a way to remove the essence of magic.
and the only way to beat the essence of magic, is with the essence of counterspell.
