My guess is that it will be very good. lots of stats for 2 mana. Obviously powerful with magnets but I'm not sure if it will be good enough on it's own. I'd say it is by a very narrow margin.
This makes me think that the Magnet decks might work. A 1/5 is not getting off the board. I think people might come to hate this card like they hated Totem Golem. I don't love snowball decks.
It is an interesting card, but we really, really need to see the rest of the set to rate it properly.
This ^ I will say with the new legendary shown this seems not too bad. But one legendary does not a playable card make. We'll need to see more Magnetic cards.
If I had to push as far as realistically possible to create a mech perfect for being a magnetic target, it would have been this. Super cheap, super durable, and yet not abusable by aggro. Great design.
I hope magnet warrior/paladin/hunter actually becomes a thing.
I don't think it's very good unless a deck pops up that is built entirely around mech synergy. Even then, it's probably not great. Seems like a strictly worse Druid of the Swarm unless you're relying on the mech tag.
Every deck that uses snowballing cards will use this, its great with fungalmancer, coldblood, cobalt scalebane, acherus veteran, defender of argus, keleseth, etc. Not to mention that this will be a staple in every mech deck that focuses on tempo. I voted metadefining.

this card is...weird lol.
Seems sorta niche, but useable. Mech Mage may like this if neutral Mech buffs are printed.

good for priest and pally, if mechs become meta then this will be auto include
WTF, what? Have you ever seen a vanilla 1/5 minion for 1 mana? Because I don't...

Exists solely for magnetic

This card has potential as a target for buffs due to the lack of attack power and relatively high health.
however this card is still terrible as if it is common in the meta it is easily countered via silence or just being killed as a 1/5.
Also this is power creep on Am’gam Rager if anyone remembers that card
EDIT: I have been convinced that this is a great target for buffs. Voted playable but I am ready to be proven wrong
Mark my words, this will be the new auto-include 2-drop for all the mech/magnetic decks. It just has so much stats.

It's being silenced after it has already attacked with the buff though. Not that good to spend a silence on.
Ugh, silence. It pretty much guarantees that any mech deck will need to have some really impactful same turn effects for them to be really good.
And then you just fuse it again and trade over the Owl/Spellbreaker!

6 stats and a tribe is too much for 2 mana. The game is changing ....
