Can anyone clarify how the Recyclicrab card works? It appears to have no function, other than serving as trash for other mechana constructs... If you discard it, its no longer in play and its text ability is no longer in effect... So how can you possibly ever return it to your hand from the discard pile?
It's a deceptively powerful card for Mechana-focused decks:
1. With Autobuilder 5.0 in play, discard Recyclicrab for a 2 rune discount on all Mechana constructs that turn.
2. Play another Mechana Construct that turn to bring it back.
3. Play Scrap Flinger to toss it back into the discard pile for +4 power.
With a perfect Honor:Value ratio and it's low cost (3 rune), it's a great mid-to-late game buy.
