Discard a card: Regenerate this creature. (The next time this creature would be destroyed this turn, instead tap it, remove it from combat, and heal all damage on it.)

"Just when I get them working, they always start fighting and tearing at each other for spare parts." —Hanna, *Weatherlight* navigator

Patchwork Gnomes can regenerate even if it isn't in combat, it's already tapped, or it's undamaged.

2021-06-18wotc

Activating the ability creates a replacement effect that acts like a shield, replacing the next time Patchwork Gnomes would be destroyed that turn. This shield works against effects that try to destroy Patchwork Gnomes or lethal damage that would be dealt to Patchwork Gnomes.

You can activate the regeneration ability even if Patchwork Gnomes isn't at risk of being destroyed. Sometimes you need to discard cards. We understand.
