Imperfectly Unbalanced
I really dont know why people complained about this card, why they still complain how its not balanced. I play only wild, cause standard is cancer but thats not the case here, i play only wild and if someone plays this guy in turn 7, its almost instalose, 0 tempo trash, i can just value trade the bots, and most of the time they kill 1 minion or both hits face, and then just trade boom, and thats all, i lose like 1 or 2 minions, or even zero if both bots hit face and i can just remove the 7/7, this card is actually not good
You described only one scenario, where you had board control and were able to efficiently remove both boom and bots without major damage to your board and face. If you're looking at it like that, Tirion is also trash because it can get hexed/polymorphed. Almost no class has the removal to deal with it 100% efficiently (from empty board), that's what makes it pretty great (not incredibly OP but just slightly). The closest thing is meteor, which gains you 1 mana tempo but can wreck your board or your face. You're also viewing it from current wild meta which is infested with pirate warrior/token druid and where n'zoth decks don't want to revive boom bots.
From pure value perspective it's a 7 mana 9-9 across 3 bodies that deals 2-8 damage at random and requires 3 different attacks to fully clear. If it eats a removal spell and the boom bots kill 1-2 minions that's already a 2 for 1 or 3 for 1. If boom lives, a 7-7 is no joke. If boombots live, they can easily kill or severely damage your opponent's board. That's already a lot of work done for 7 mana. For comparison's sake, CotW was 8 mana 12-10 with 3 bodies and some charge and it was slightly busted. Firelands portal does about the same damage as boom bots but is slightly faster and develops a much smaller body on average. It's a staple in mage decks. No other 7+ mana minion does as much work as boom, other than ragnaros and tirion, and both can get removed with just one card
Ragnaros is too slow and there's too many sticky minions and tokens. Boom and Tirion are far superior and OP.
