Mech

Mech is a type of minion, depicting mechanical constructs ranging from piloted vehicles to fully sentient mechanical beings.

For a list of cards featuring mechanical constructs, see Mechanical art.

Background

Mechs are mechanical constructs. They may exhibit intelligence and apparent sentience, including complex personalities and emotions. Usually constructed by either goblins or gnomes, Mechs are at the heart of the Goblins vs Gnomes expansion.

Official

Goblins and gnomes are notorious inventors who create incredible mechanized constructs by combining their keen intellect, some spare parts, and a little elbow grease. While goblin mechanical constructs may have a penchant for exploding and gnomish devices may turn you into a chicken, sometimes these pint-sized inventors manage to get something functioning as intended. Inconceivable!

From harvest golems to fel-spewing cannons, these “mechs” that have been engineered by both goblins and gnomes play a vital role in the struggle to see which diminutive race of engineers ultimately comes out on top. The top of what remains to be seen.

If there’s one thing goblins and gnomes do well, it’s making sure their individual mechs are compatible with the other mechs they build, regardless of what the end result may look like.

Notes

• There is no reward for collecting all Mech cards.

• There is currently no negative Mech synergy in the game, meaning the presence of a friendly Mech will not grant the opponent any special advantage or opportunity to counter, outside of mind control effects.

• All Mech synergy cards (and the majority of Mechs themselves) are restricted to the Wild format as of the Year of the Mammoth, making the subtype essentially meaningless in Standard.

Strategy

Many Mech cards feature substantial synergy, generally granting the player additional effects if they already own a Mech. In contrast to "swarming" synergies such as Murloc or Beast, where it is often desirable to have as many minions of that type on the board as possible (e.g. Timber Wolf, Starving Buzzard, Old Murk-Eye), Mech synergy generally only requires a single friendly Mech. This makes it easier to add Mech synergy into decks without major alterations.

Antique Healbot	Common	Mech	Any	5	3	3	Battlecry: Restore 8 Health to your hero. They don't make 'em like they used to! (Because of explosions, mostly.)
Clockwork Gnome	Common	Mech	Any	1	2	1	Deathrattle: Add a Spare Part card to your hand. Clockwork gnomes are always asking what time it is.

Explosive Sheep	Common	Mech	Any	2	1	1	Deathrattle: Deal 2 damage to all minions. How is this supposed to work? Your enemies think, "Hey! Cute sheep!" and run over to cuddle it?
Flying Machine	Common	Mech	Any	3	1	4	Windfury To operate, this contraption needs a hula doll on the dashboard. Otherwise it's just a “falling machine.”

Psych-o-Tron	Common	Mech	Any	5	3	4	Taunt Divine Shield "Annoyinger-o-Tron" was just too unwieldy. And accurate.
Shielded Minibot	Common	Mech	Paladin	2	2	2	Divine Shield He chooses to believe what he is programmed to believe!

Cobalt Guardian	Rare	Mech	Paladin	5	6	3	Whenever you summon a Mech, gain Divine Shield. Guardians used to be built out of Adamantium, but production got moved to Gadgetzan and Cobalt was cheap.
Corrupted Healbot	Rare	Mech	Any	5	6	6	Deathrattle: Restore 8 Health to the enemy hero. Not so much "corrupted" as "has terrible aim".
Fel Cannon	Rare	Mech	Warlock	4	3	5	At the end of your turn, deal 2 damage to a non-Mech minion. The box says, "New and improved, with 200% more fel!"
Iron Sensei	Rare	Mech	Rogue	3	2	2	At the end of your turn, give another friendly Mech +2/+2. Mechs like learning from him because he really speaks their language. 0110100001101001

Soot Spewer	Rare	Mech	Mage	3	3	3	Spell Damage +1 The inventor of the goblin shredder is involved in several patent disputes with the inventor of the soot spewer.
Target Dummy	Rare	Mech	Any	0	0	2	Taunt The engineering equivalent of a "Kick Me" sticker.

Patch changes

• Patch 2.0.0.7234 (2014-12-04): Type added, along with many new Mech minions. Several previously typeless minions have also been converted to Mechs.
