Strategy[]
Clockwork Automaton is a minion for decks that make frequent use out of damaging and/or healing Hero Powers.
It is particularly effective with upgraded/alternate Hero Powers, such as the ones from hero cards, upgraded Hero Powers from cards such as Baku the Mooneater or Wildfire, and DIE, INSECT! from Sulfuras.
It has good synergy with Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk and Mordresh Fire Eye, reducing the number of hero power uses to activate these effects.
Because both damage and healing are doubled, the Lifesteal from Bloodreaver Gul'dan's Siphon Life is particularly effective, causing it to deal 6 damage and heal for 12.
This effect is cumulative, with the damage and healing doubling with each additional Clockwork Automaton on the board.

Lore[]
- The Clockwork Automaton is creepy, like one of those toys coming to life that you might hear about in a ghost story. The Toymaker in Gilneas is one of the 'good guys,' but for some reason his toys are coming to life and walking the streets. Maybe because they are made using wood from the Witchwood.[1]
