Will this buff be enough for Whirliglider to become balanced?

Whirliglider is quite similar to Bomb Toss. Replacing a 2-damage with a 2/1 minion.
While classic cards are known to be weaker than class cards, I think (and you'll agree) that this card is underpowered.
If it is to be given mech, then it would suddenly become more plausible, you'll get 2 mechs to magnetize later.
This isn't a troll thread btw xD. I need you to take this seriously, and tell me valid logical counterarguments.
So, is this enough?

It’s seeing play in bomb hunter idk what other deck you could realistically put it in. It’s an average card, doesn’t mean it needs a buff
I don't think the card needs it. Whirliglider is by no means a powerhouse and yet it has shown up even in high level competitive play simply because there aren't that many good mechs for two mana for mech hunter to play. I also don't like the idea of giving that archetype so many early mechs that it becomes impossible for the opponent to reasonably clear all of them to prevent magnetise shenanigans. I think it's important that even decks with a heavy tribal theme play a few non-tribe cards because it makes the game that much more dynamic and increases the amount of relevant decisions for both players. For example, if every card in the mech hunter deck were a mech, there'd never be a question of leaving up this or that minion because it can't be magnetised. If every card in bomb warrior were a mech you'd never have trouble landing your Dyn-o-Matics, etc.
Well, color me enlightened, I didn't know it saw play in the high levels. I thought it was just one of those cards that never saw play at all.
The card is -just- good enough to play in bomb hunter. Buffing it will only make the deck stronger, yet it's already one of the strongest decks out there. I think the card is fine as it is.
AFAIK some people run it in mech-y token druid.
I have it in my token druid, i have it in my mech-hunter. The card is good. If it was "mech" or buffed with more health, it would be at least a rare.

The card is ok as is.. No buffs needed it has a clear niche.
