The Repair Bot will randomly target any damaged character.
Gelbin Mekkatorque`s inventions have the power to sway the course of the match significantly, but with no way to control their effects, are almost as likely to spell doom for the summoning player as for their opponent. As such, Gelbin is one of the strongest examples of RNG "I think it’s important for there to be some kind of randomness in the game. I think it creates great stories and I don’t think you want a game that is entirely no RNG. Heck, 
in the game. Note that none of the inventions differentiate between friendly and hostile targets.
Overall, the card has a small tendency to give the advantage to the player with the most minions. Although the targets are selected randomly, since two of the three inventions with targeted effects offer beneficial effects, having more minions when playing Geblin may improve the player`s odds slightly. The remaining invention, the Homing Chicken Homing Chicken Set: Hall of Fame Type: Minion Subtype: Mech Rarity: Common Cost: 1 Attack: 0 Health: 1 Abilities: Destroy, Draw cards Tags: Triggered effect At the start of your turn, destroy this minion and 
, requires defending to benefit from its effects, making board control and the presence of Taunt The shield-like Taunt visual effect Taunt is a minion ability which forces the opposing player to direct any melee attacks toward enemy targets with this ability. Minions with Taunt (commonly referred to as Taunts) serve 
minions in particular very useful.
Gelbin himself is a solid 6/6, but for 6 mana is slightly worse than basic minions such as Boulderfist Ogre Boulderfist Ogre Set: Basic Type: Minion Cost: 6 Attack: 6 Health: 7 "ME HAVE GOOD STATS FOR THE COST"See this card on Hearthpwn data page] Boulderfist Ogre is a neutral minion card, from the Basic

.
For many, this has led Gelbin to be regarded as a `fun` card, but not a good choice for a strong strategic deck, while others choose to add Gelbin to their decks primarily for the random events that his inventions are capable of engendering, taking pleasure in their unpredictability.

. This gives Gelbin some synergy in a Mech deck. Be that as it may, capitalizing on this synergy may be difficult: an unsilenced Homing Chicken Homing Chicken Set: Hall of Fame Type: Minion Subtype: Mech Rarity: Common Cost: 1 Attack: 0 Health: 1 Abilities: Destroy, Draw cards Tags: Triggered effect At the start of your turn, destroy this minion and will remove itself from the board on the start of your next turn, and the Poultryizer Poultryizer Set: Hall of Fame Type: Minion Subtype: Mech Rarity: Common Cost: 1 Attack: 0 Health: 3 Abilities: Transform Tags: Random, Triggered effect At the start of your turn, transform a random minion into a

Summoned minions
Emboldener 3000
The Emboldener 3000 Emboldener 3000 Set: Hall of Fame Type: Minion Subtype: Mech Rarity: Common Cost: 1 Attack: 0 Health: 4 Tags: Triggered effect At the end of your turn, give a random minion +1/+1.See this card on grants a +1/+1 buff to a random target at the end of the controlling player`s turn. This tends to give the advantage to whichever player has the most minions on the field. It is therefore most desirable when the summoning player has control of the board, and can be particularly effective in decks designed around a lot of minions. Note that it takes effect at the end of the controlling player`s turn, giving them a chance to remove any hostile targets before the buff is granted.
When playing against the Emboldener, players may wish to quickly check the odds for one of their minions being affected by the Emboldener. Since the Emboldener by default has 0 Attack, and has no Taunt The shield-like Taunt visual effect Taunt is a minion ability which forces the opposing player to direct any melee attacks toward enemy targets with this ability. Minions with Taunt (commonly referred to as Taunts) serve ability, when controlling the majority of minions on the battlefield, it often pays to allow the Emboldener to survive for a few extra rounds, in order to empower your own minions.
Note that the Emboldener is quite capable of buffing itself, making it a capable 1/5 minion. Be that as it may, since this action occurs at the end of the turn, the other player will have a turn to counter the Emboldener before the controller can use it to attack.
Homing Chicken
Card draw For the game conclusion where neither player wins, see Draw Card draw is a term used to refer the process or mechanic of drawing additional cards from the top of the deck, and adding them 
is one of the most important aspects of Hearthstone. With a draw of three cards, Homing Chicken Homing Chicken Set: Hall of Fame Type: Minion Subtype: Mech Rarity: Common Cost: 1 Attack: 0 Health: 1 Abilities: Destroy, Draw cards Tags: Triggered effect At the start of your turn, destroy this minion and is one of the stronger card draws in the game. However it must survive through one of your opponent`s turns with its measly 1 health to grant you cards, since Homing Chicken does not self-destruct until the start of your next turn. This makes its value very reliant on your current board position, your opponent`s hand, and the number of any minions with Taunt The shield-like Taunt visual effect Taunt is a minion ability which forces the opposing player to direct any melee attacks toward enemy targets with this ability. Minions with Taunt (commonly referred to as Taunts) serve you have in play.
Poultryizer
When Poultryizer Poultryizer Set: Hall of Fame Type: Minion Subtype: Mech Rarity: Common Cost: 1 Attack: 0 Health: 3 Abilities: Transform Tags: Random, Triggered effect At the start of your turn, transform a random minion into a is in play, a random minion is transformed Transform is an ability which irreversibly transforms a minion into something else. This removes all card text, abilities and enchantments, and does not trigger any Deathrattles. Transformation is not an enchantment but rather a permanent 
into a 1/1 Chicken Chicken Set: Hall of Fame Type: Minion Subtype: Beast Rarity: Common Cost: 0 Attack: 1 Health: 1 Hey Chicken!See this card on Hearthpwn data page] For the minion created by the Gnomish Experimenter, see Chicken 
each round at the start of the possessing player`s turn. The Poultryizer may target any minion, including itself and Gelbin Mekkatorque. It may also target a minion that has been reduced to 0 or less Health during the same Phase.
The resulting transformation is almost universally bad for whichever hero it belongs to, unless the minion was already a 1/1, or a hexed Frog. The effect will also remove all card text, which can provide at least some compensation for the transformation of minions such as Venture Co. Mercenary. Chickens are however classified as Beasts Beasts are a type of minion especially associated with hunters, and to a lesser extent druids. Hunters have a variety of class-specific Beast minions as well as specific ability cards which benefit Beasts. Beasts are , which can be useful in beast decks such as those often favoured by hunters.
Poultryizer tends to favour the player with the fewest (or weakest) minions on the board. It can therefore work well for decks designed around a lot of small minions, as there is little difference between a 1/1 Murloc and a 1/1 Chicken (Beast synergy aside). Poultryizer is most powerful when you are outnumbered in minions, as the chances of turning one of your opponents into chickens is greater. Be that as it may, for this to be effective you ideally need to prevent it from being destroyed such as using a Divine Shield or a minion with Taunt The shield-like Taunt visual effect Taunt is a minion ability which forces the opposing player to direct any melee attacks toward enemy targets with this ability. Minions with Taunt (commonly referred to as Taunts) serve .
Be that as it may, Poultryizer has its moments. For instance, with it transforming a minion at the start of your turn, if the opponent has used removal spells on your creatures during their turn, it may be guaranteed to transform one of your opponent`s minions into a 1/1 Chicken. When facing the Poultryizer, players with few minions may wish to leave the Poultryizer alive, in the hope that it will transform one of their opponent`s minions.
Repair Bot
Repair Bot Repair Bot Set: Hall of Fame Type: Minion Subtype: Mech Rarity: Common Cost: 1 Attack: 0 Health: 3 Abilities: Restore Health Tags: Damaged-related, Triggered effect At the end of your turn, restore 6 Health to is another invention that favours the player with the most minions on the field. When the summoning player has control of the board, Repair Bot can be very useful, and can be used defensively as well as offensively.
Defensively: With many Taunt The shield-like Taunt visual effect Taunt is a minion ability which forces the opposing player to direct any melee attacks toward enemy targets with this ability. Minions with Taunt (commonly referred to as Taunts) serve cards, Repair Bot can sustain your defensive wall for a very long time. Use your taunt minions to soak up (hopefully) non-lethal damage. Offensively: You can control the field with your minions. Attack your opponent`s minions while keeping your minions alive. Avoid killing off your own minions. Repair Bot works best with taunt or by applying Stealth, as it becomes a high-priority target when it is played. The synergy between taunt minions and Repair Bot is amazing. Your taunt minions will soak up the damage, while your Repair Bot brings them back up to fighting shape!
Note that Repair Bot takes effect at the end of your turn, giving you a chance to remove all hostile targets for its heals before it makes its selection.
Also note that Repair Bot`s effect does count as healing, and thus the Auchenai Soulpriest will convert it into damage. The targeting of this effect can be confusing because while the effect will happen to a random target, only damaged characters are considered as possible targets. The Repair Bot will not attempt to heal (or damage in this case) a fully healed minion or hero. This can be used to do very high damage quite effectively, if you first ensure that all your own minions (and hero) are fully healed before the end of the turn. Dealing 6 damage to an already damaged minion will kill most minions, allowing for very cheap trades.
