I drew the legend paladin dragon that full heals you up. Combo that with the life to armor paladin legend and I can block 8-9 bombs to the face. Bomb warrior has been prevalent enough for me to consider crafting the archivist.
I also wanted to experiment with prelate life gain decks. People seem to forget you can taunt them up with battlecry buffs as well as spells. I can turn them into infinite taunt lifegain guys.
I've seen people say Thief Rogue, but if you rely on the cards you get to win, you're gonna have a hard time Most Warrior cards are pretty bad standalone.

Thief rogue counters because of the lifesteal, buffed, essentially endless weapon. Allows you to do everything except take 6 bombs to the face. Since you’ll be shuffling 20+ cards into your deck this is very unlikely.

The "Little Spell" Mage deck (Cosmic Anomaly, Spellzerker, Shooting Star, Sorcerer's Apprentice, Vex Crow etc.) seems to win easily against Bomb Warrior. I play both that and Bomb Warrior in Standard, and every time I've seen this matchup so far, the Little Spell Mage wins. I'm sure it's possible for the Bomb Warrior to win, but I haven't seen it yet. Then again, I am only Rank 16-17 in Standard. (I've been Rank 7 in Wild this month, and I'm currently at Rank 10 there.)

162 ladder wins with Renouncelock and counting! Reno, Zoo, Cube, Even; they all run Renounce Darkness in my lists!
No control shaman does not counter warrior. Yes it can survive longer but it cannot stand a chance in the long run. Also warrior has insane removal potential, which sucks for a deck that counts on big minions
The play control shaman instead has so much healing with walking fountain and witches brew. Won every game vs any type of bomb warrior so far.
Been playing bomb warrior until I find an OTK/Combo deck that I find fun to play.... can say, Murloc Shama tend to go 50/50 with, depending on how early he gets the token generating murloc, and how many board clears and draw cards I can pull early; Only ran into one so, not sure how it fares vs other decks or if this guy just got incredibly lucky draws, but an Overload Shaman had me hating life and shut me down pretty hard... Thief Rogue is a pain, the healing from weapon if you can get it buffed up in time and keep giving it durability.... Haven't had any problems with paladins, played against secret, dragon and some strange, (idk, "big" paladin - just note that he pulled Zilliax with Call to Adventure ... Hunters, don't think I've personally seen any myself, but per the comments looks like Mech hunter is strong Token Druids stress me out, try to keep the board clear.. 9 times out of 10 I pretty sure Druid wins Warlock - mostly positive win rate vs, think I've lost one or two to some aggro Mage - Don't think I've lost to a mage yet, but they are few and far between so can't say i've played against enough to have a decent sample Priest - Res priest is cancer, the Legendary that revives at the end of turn is pretty busted, and if the warrior doesn't have a way to clear it, puts a lot of pressure
Bomb Warrior is really slow and doesnt have very much board threats. Better question is how you deal with thief Rogue which pretty much has everything. Good card draw. good early game, insane healing, incredible late game threats etc.

I tried that too. 0-4 so far. Two games went to fatigue, lost both. Dr.Boom's value is too high for shaman to deal with. Speaking of value, I have Krag'wa (to get back Brews), Swampqueen Hagatha, Hagatha the Witch and Shudderwock. Also has Elysiana, double Acidic Swamp Ooze and double Hecklebot and etc. I also run two copies of Walking Fountain.
I just can't. I can destroy everything else, but Bomb Warrior is an impossible matchup. Maybe I get nervous or something. But I wouldn't say Control Shaman is favoured against Bomb Warrior. After some point, Hagatha stops giving you value, you are out of minions. I specifically pick all minions from Elysiana for that. Dr.Boom is pretty much infinite value.
Only deck has beaten Bomb Warrior is Token Druid for me. Have no idea how.
I disagree. I have a control shaman deck which is an easy (but very long) with against bomb warrior unless you get really unlucky with the bombs and get nuked on one turn. Archivist Elysiana and Shuderwock give you the edge in the fatigue part.
Thief rogue doesn't win against Bomb warriors reliably, most decks now have weapon removal tech, so your blade is almost useless. You might win a game or two depending on how bad the warrior draws (or how good the rogue draws), but you will get spanked by almost all the other classes that are teched with weapon hate.
Warlock with Rafaam is not that good also, sure you might transform the bombs into legendaries, but once Boom is down, you need super rluck with your cards to outvalue him, if you don't kill him fast, he will push into fatigue with maybe Elysiana.
What kills bomb warriors?
Heal Lucenbark druid, almost 100%, his bombs are actually helping you. Just play the version with melon for guaranteed draw.
Token druid - warrior needs a ton of removal, and not any kind of removal, but warpath. The deathrattle summon treants is the real danger, and once you clear a board, the druid has 10 cards that can recreate it. Token druid will also give you the biggest chance against the other classes as well
Mech hunter, again mech and deathrattle are the perfect counters to warriors in general.

Having a great time with this deck to counter warriors:-

Is that a murloc? Yawn....conceede!
There are certain decks which are strong against it, but I'd hesitate to say hard counters.
Mech Hunter seems pretty strong against it.
I made a Prelate Pally deck which was pretty strong.
You CAN win with Thief Rogue, but it certainly isn't a guarantee. You need to get kind of lucky with what cards you get from Espionage and such.
You also basically need them to find the Boom Hero card very late in the game. If they play that card on 7 it is VERY hard to deal for any class.

Archivist Elysiana and Hecklebot are pretty usefull. Archivist Elysiana fits in many decks and is neutral. Works ok for me.
Yeah, I must say, having a lot of fun with Paladin this expansion.

Hunters, don't think I've personally seen any myself, but per the comments looks like Mech hunter is strong
Token Druids stress me out, try to keep the board clear.. 9 times out of 10 I pretty sure Druid wins
Warlock - mostly positive win rate vs, think I've lost one or two to some aggro
Mage - Don't think I've lost to a mage yet, but they are few and far between so can't say i've played against enough to have a decent sample
Priest - Res priest is cancer, the Legendary that revives at the end of turn is pretty busted, and if the warrior doesn't have a way to clear it, puts a lot of pressure

Poggo Hopper Rogue can defeat Warrior Bomb, but only if you get Zilliax early.

I made a Ressurect Priest, that is dealing well against Warrior bomb.
