I was playing around with Goblin Bomb hunter decks, and got really excited when I realised there is another class that can have a lot of fun with goblin bombs. Priest! It's probably way too gimmicky, but I'm very exited to try. This is also one of the only decks I can think of where Power Word: Replicate makes sense, but after some consideration, I just think Wargear makes more sense as a curve topper.
Does anyone have any suggestions, or any cards I am forgetting about? Should I add Mecharoo or some other deathrattles? It makes Twilight's Call less cool, but more consistent.
Why not go for Awaken the Makers with this? If you managed to trigger 7 goblin bombs (14 face damage minimum) and then drop Amara, Warden of Hope there's a good chance I'd just concede.
Both Awaken the Makers and Zilliax are interesting choices, but I hope to close out the game as soon as possible. I'm not sure if those cards will be aggressive enough. Zilliax is only 3 burst damage while Wargear is 5. Though zilliax is better on a board with no mechs. An early 8/8 would be a great closer, but I feel the quest would mess up my early game most of the time. (the same reason I often don't play the shaman quest in murloc shaman.) I also don't have the priest quest myself.
But I am very curious to learn about other people's results with those cards!
You might want to consider Mind Blast and Replicating Menace... I feel like you have too many bombs, and not enough ways to turn them into bodies that actually threaten the board. Aside from the Magnetic interaction, they're basically less aggressive Leper Gnomes, so Magnetic is going to be key if you want to actually pressure your opponent.
Today in my free brawl pack I got Barongeddon, then I had a cup of fresh green tea. As a result of that, I think Priest is OP because my keyboard is not a mechanical one. I hope Blizzard will address this issue.

Replicating Menace is definitely on my watch list. I'm going to hold back on mind blast for a bit still, since the bombs actually fullfil a similar role. Currently there are already 12 cards that can activate the bombs though. That seems to be a decent amount. I have a hard time giving up on my 2 drops, since I don't want to be without a turn 2 play in a deck this aggressive.
A few taunts on the opponent side and you're screwed
The idea is that you do as much damage as possible, and then when there are too many taunts to get through finish it off with the bombs. Void Ripper is great against most taunts, but if taunts really destroy this deck, priest has the best answer to them in Mass Dispel.

EDIT: replaced Argent Squire with Leper Gnome to add redundancy.
EDIT 2: +2 Mecharoo, +2 Fungalmancer, -2 Power Word: Shield, -2 Crystallizer
I think Zilliax will be a must in every deck of this kind
I think I'll try it too :D

Maybe add Spiritsinger Umbra and take out 1 Upgradeable Framebot to get past taunt.

Spiritsinger Umbra is also great fun. Going to try that too.
