The first introduction of bombs in Hearthstone was with Goblins and Gnomes. The first card that featured the dynamic to shuffle a card into your oppodents deck that dealt damage was Iron Juggernaut.
I remember a friend of mine using a deck based around it. While it did make me lose more than Ive won against it, its weak side was that it was slow. Which would mean the counter to bomb decks would be to play an aggro deck.
Or, it was....With the introduction of rise of shadows, now you can have 20 damage shuffled separetly into your deck at turn 5.
On turn 1 and 2, play some good mechs. Like Eternium Rover.
I’ve had good success with Tesspionage Rogue. AE helps pad your deck so you don’t draw the bombs too quickly and Spectral Cutlass helps heal. Plus, you’re likely to pull some armor gain from your burgle abilities.
Agree! I just won a game against Bomb Warrior and i played Rafaam on 7 and followed up with legendaries like Cairne, Ysera, Alex, etc. he or she stood no chance. :)
I was thinking about crafting it until i played my meme deck without crafting carda with mana cyclone khadgar and some cheap spells taunts and those spella to summon large minions and i almost won. I had lethal but i draw on my turn a bomb with 4 health and 7 cards left.
I think control warlock has the tools to beat that and aggro decks. Rafam and archivist take the bombs out
I'm 13-2 with Control Shaman. Probably the best counter out there right now, since it can just outheal the bombs if it doesn't draw Archivist.
For the record, I mean 13-2 against bomb warrior. I'm 56-37 total, so it's not just a spoiler deck for the one matchup.

Enjoying Americans winning in the Olympics is forbidden because it is political. A 14 plus page discussion of state-sponsored lawsuits against a multi-national corporation based on harassment, discrimination, and wrongful death allegations is apparently not political enough to raise an issue.
I've been playing Mecha'Thun warrior and have yet to lose to a bomb warrior. I think any warrior deck with a harder control/armor package than bomb warrior can beat it fairly easily.

I think I might have hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia.
bomb warrior is ridiculous. Blizz devs are crap at balance so no big surprise. Iron juggernaut was a legendary and cost 6 mana. Seaforium Bomber was sort of a clunky play because it didnt affect the board at all. You can toss out 3/3s and swing a 4/3 weapon without a care in the world.
Although nothing is going to make this matchup "fair", I'd say a Tesswaggle rogue deck with oozes or whatever the 2 drop break your weapon card is and harrison.
Also, tekal paladin.
Spam druid is looking pretty cancer again so it may be fast enough and angler made murloc shaman op.
I would say it's not unbeatable in any case, just extremely obnoxious. the likelihood that they are not running supercollider(dumbest weapon ever) as well and they lost reckless flurry makes it less annoying than it could be. Brawl and warpath are still good though.

On turn 1 and 2, play some good mechs. Like Eternium Rover.
Then on turn 3 play Clockwork Goblin. 5 damage shuffled.
Turn 4 play Wrenchcalibur. Then attack. 10 damage shuffled.
Turn 5 play Seaforium Bomber then attack with wrenhcalibur and bam. 20 damage shuffled in oppodents deck by turn 5.
On turn 6 play whatever you want and in turn 7 of course comes Blastmaster Boom.
I am not even talking about the possibility of having 2 of these cards in the deck...
So the question is, if my enemy shuffles 20 damage into my deck by turn 5. How in the fuck am I gonna beat this horsecrap?
Everything I wrote happened to me today. I didnt even write the fact he had Augmented Elekk

What type of deck do you want to run?
dragon control warrior is quite easy counter
Arch-Villain Rafaam or Archivist Elysiana both hard counter it.

Be faster or be tougher
Beaten one with my relatively gimmicky Deathrattle/Pirate Rogue just purely on tempo.
Keep in mind they don't draw all their good stuff on curve every game, also you aren't really guaranteed to draw into bombs either
Fact is that both Goblin and Bomber are not great tempo plays.
IT's a deck that's straightforward and plays on gimmicky decks that lack tempo.
Zoolock and Midrange HUnter
Control decks can just outheal it
Only slow value decks get punished by it.
I tried having fun once. It was awful.
If you pressure them hard enough they'll die before the bombs go off. Like with Token Druid, Minion Mage or Zoolock with Rafaam as Top End.
Always expect the unexpectable!
PlotPortal Locke and Thief Rogue. And Murloc Shaman is aggressive enough to either kill or be killed before the bombs matter.

hard control beats it. as aggro decks do too. try not to play slow mid range decks
play warlock with bunch of taunts and heals, rafaam those bombs, win the value game
Deathrattle hunter eats those bomb warriors.

This... Bomb Warrior will reduce in numbers if everyone throws Archivist Elysiana in their deck.
I for one am having a blast playing Bomb Warrior. Warrior is the only class I never leveled up to 60 because I always found the decks boring.
There's something horribly satisfying about watching your opponent have lethal, but instead, watch 3 bombs go off in a row to kill them.

Fun > Meta
I’ve yet to lose against bomb warrior with token Druid. Way too much pressure, and bomb warrior a tend to be greedy with a lack of board clears.
Also if you want to beat them control style I would recommend Archtivist eleysiana to remove most of the bombs from your deck.
Winning by turn 4 with Murlocs
Not sure if hyped yet.
