he is perfectly balanced
He is a Doctor maybe he could summon a healbot for the opponent and heal them for 4-8 then hit them. That would be so funny and or devastating.
This card doesn't need a nerf it needs a nurse.
How about like those druid cards where you get to choose between two effects. You choose between boombots or healbots two 0/2 taunts like mirror image but with deathrattle heal for 1-4 So you can pick defence or offence. It's not a devastating finisher card but more if a stabilizing call a nurse card. Your thoughts?
I got this combo this morning after trying for several weeks not sure if it has been done before, but wanted to share I call it the hat trick Dr Boom + Kel'Thuzad + Baron Rivendare The explosions trigger twice then regenerate. It was a mistake to faceless the Kel'thuzad because I didn't have enough board for the extra bots. I wonder what would have happened if I had copied the Baron. Would the death rattle trigger twice, twice. Or just one twice.
It's used only in 41% of the decks cause 9% don't use him and the other 50% are palyers that don't own him this card needs nerfs it's 1600 dust manadatory for every none aggro deck I feel bad playing HS while no owning him..
It's used in 41% of the decks because 59% of the decks were made before he came out.
Lol??? Every freakin game i see this damn card!
If anyone else wants to try my formula to calculate Dr. Boom's usage, I'll show it here. This assumes he is played whenever he is drawn & the opponent has >= 7 mana (which would actually tend to underestimate how many decks he's in). If he is in x% of decks, the average number of cards drawn by your opponent is y, and you play n games:
You know, I don't actually play enough to really warrant me doing this, but if I start playing more at any point, I'd be happy to collaborate with you and come up with some hard statistics. I would currently hazard a guess that the only decks that don't run him are either ones where the player doesn't own him or the deck is EXTREMELY specialized (like a freeze mage or something), and even then most of them still do it. Hell, FACE HUNTERS run this guy sometimes. WAT.
Never realised this was what they meant when they said "They want the D"
Need to wait for next expansion yo.
Gotta keep dosh rollin' in ay?
Going to bet he's actually is going to get a nerf when blackrock comes out or shortly after.
The only reason i can think of them saying he is not on the nerf list is because if people knew he was going to be nerfed they would most likely stop getting GvG packs because he is the only card a lot of people are still getting GvG packs for.
Rip no nerf I really wanted to dust my regular & golden boom
When this card first came out I wasn't too annoyed by it. Sure it's really good, but so are a lot of other cards. Then, I started seeing it more and more. Because I generally play a control-type deck on ladder I see a good number of the cards in my opponent's deck. One day I decided to start counting how often I saw this card and then try to calculate how many decks in ranked run him based on the average number of cards drawn and the assumption that he would always be played if drawn.
You know what the answer is? Every deck runs him. Seriously, if you try this calculation it comes out to ~100% with any sample size >20. I'm not going to go over why this is bad because that's been done ad nauseum. I don't know how they should nerf him. But please, PLEASE do something about it soon.
Greatest card ever made.
Should i disenchant rag+mal'ganis+a few epics to craft this? PLZ reply i need this!!!
Imo you shouldnt, rag is too good.
This is really cute :D
The avatar totally gives away how in love you are with the art and concept of the card, to the point that you would disenchant one of the best legendaries, a fairly useful one and a couple epics to get it.
Still, don't do it. Ragnaros is still amazing and actually an acceptable substitute for Boom till you have the necessary dust.
What do y'all think about this nerf make the boom bots just hit enemy minions so then u can't kill ur opponent faster if there's no minions on the board the boom bots death rattle doesnt trigger becouse that's one of the reasons why people think dr boom is op couse they can rush ur opponent whit the boom bots but well that's my opinion idk about all of y'all .
Just a card that's too good in any aspect....
In fact it is so good that everyone runs it...and that seems senseless to me...a card that is so OP that it basically fits into every deck, even aggro decks ? Also good with Druid (+ Savage Roar), Mech Mage and Shaman (+ Bloodlust). A card this cheap and this powerful should at least have a drawback (being able to be targetet as BGH is in my opinion not a drawback...in fact it lures out BGH so you can play other biggies next turn, such as Rag. etc, still leaving 2 bombs that can still do a lot of damage). So how about a 50% chance that the bombs could also hit yourself ? That would seem fair to me and sounds like the kind of istuff a Goblin or Gnome would invent ... BOBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.
This would also give meaning to the card text : "WARNING. Bots may explode."
