Mech

Mech is a minion type. It was introduced in Goblins vs Gnomes in December 2014.

Prior to this mech minions like the Alarm-o-Bot and Demolisher and Harvest Golem existed but were not originally labelled as such.

Mech minions usually excel at summoning widely and take advantage of their death. Because of this, most Mech minions also have Deathrattle attached to it. Some Mech minions may also have Divine Shield. Many Mech synergy cards are mainly reserved for paladin and warrior. To a lesser extent, in some thematic expansions, hunter and mage may also receive such cards.

Lore

Main article: Mechanical art

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 and The Boomsday Project expansions.

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.^[1]

Trivia

• Mech was introduced with the Goblins vs Gnomes expansion in 8 December 2014. As well as introducing 45 new Mechs, the expansion also saw 9 cards converted from general minions to Mechs: Harvest Golem, Damaged Golem, Alarm-o-Bot, Demolisher, Mechanical Dragonling, and all of Gelbin Mekkatorque's inventions: Repair Bot, Emboldener 3000, Homing Chicken and Poultryizer.
