Guys I need your opinion. Should I get Dr. Boom or Loatheb for some tempo deck. In this case it's Dragon Priest but I do also have Mech Tempo Mage and Murloc Pally. I never really used Loatheb or Dr Boom because I didn't play HS back then so if anyone uses those two cards in your tempo/midrange deck please tell me in comments which one is better to craft. Thanks for help :)
I'd say Loatheb, Dr. Boom is a good card in general but unless it's n'zoth priest I don't think Dr. Boom will be good enough. Since it's for a more tempo deck then if you play it when your opponent would have enough mana for a board clear like flamestrike, lightbomb, or even a twisting nether then just play it before that and either your opponent wont have the mana to use the spell or they'll spend their entire turn to play 1 removal spell.
Doctor 7 is definetly better. If you are facing a minion heavy deck, Loatheb is only 5 mana 5/5 which is okay while Dr. Boom is 7 mana 9/9 that does 2-8 additional damage.
That's a tough one. Dr. 7 got his name because his stats are absolutely retarded good. 9/9 of stats that can do up to 8 indirect damage. Loatheb is great for shutting shit down and giving you an out against some decks.
I think Boom is in a league of his own I vote for him. He fills a deck slot that nothing else can in terms of power level. Even if he is killed next turn he still has board presence with the bots.
Believe it or not, Dr. Boom is actually a Tier 3 card in this meta. While some people here still think highly of Dr. 7, he isn't really the shining light as he was before; he never was really used in Wild ever.
Dr. Boom was only so extremely overwhelmingly good because there was no turn 7 play before. Nowadays Turn 7 is a cleanup-turn where you want to clean up the enemy board for your strong turn 8-plays. No deck in this meta is using Dr. Boom because alone he is no longer a thread at all; even more, with priest being such a strong class it's even counterproductive to add such a value-minion in your deck that is strong by itself, but not with any combinations.
Also there is another reason, and that's the case since Whisper of the old Gods: N'Zoth, the Corruptor is anti-synergetic with him. And any deck that can use Dr. Boom also can use N'zoth. And you don't want to resurrect 2 Boom Bots.
Believe me, don't craft him; he is not used in any decks that want to be in a high winning spot
Loatheb on the other hand is in some decks quite useful and a perfect counter to some decks. He is NOT a legendary you want to put in any decks, but as Oil Rogue rises in Wild (as you see on heartpwn; a wild deck on 1st place) he is a very strong counter to rogue and also to your board against priest sometimes. Loadheb is definitively the stronger card of the two above!
Still i don't recommend to craft any of these right now. Look first at the wild-meta and get a feeling of it. None of the cards are key-cards in wild right now.
But if you really want to craft one of these, craft Loatheb.

TBH neither. I play wild excusively and neither card sees any play. I guess Dr. Boom is better, but Dr. Boom is just worse than Bonemare in this meta.
Of the decks you mentioned, Murloc Paladin and Mech Mage are sort of midrange so Loatheb is better for keeping your things safe from a board clear.
But I think overall, Boom can fit in more decks.
Honestly, if you take Wild seriously you should just buy all of Naxxramas, and then craft His Majesty Dr. Boom with your dust!
I would say: NONE OF THE ABOVE.

If it's a choice between the two, go with Dr Boom; Dragon Priest already runs plenty of 5-drops and Loatheb isn't a tempo 5-drop.
