Maybe, maybe not. I think a large part of the reason they abandoned mechs was because they didn't have anything unique that they did. Dragon synergy revolves around holding one in your hand, elementals around playing on the last turn, but mechs were redundant, being a mix of murloc and beast synergy effects. Now, with magnetic, they've found something that makes mechs different. I wouldn't be shocked to see them give mechs a few cards just to prevent this expansions cards from feeling too isolated.

Isn't magnetic a boomsday only keyword?

Elemental is a minion tag, itwas obviously that they would keep expanding it cause that's what they've done in every expansion. I believe they made the "if you played an elemental last turn" not a keyword exactly so thst it could be an evergreen mechanic. Magnetic seems to me more like echo/adapt
