User commentary

Mechanics and Engineers are fragile to fight on their own. But their true strength lies in repairing mechanical creatures. Rather than using them as primary damagers, use them to attack unit stacks standing close and to finish wounded enemies. They are same as Archangels in terms of true "returning" creatures into the battlefield, but only "return" exact Mechanical creatures.
