I just find Mad Bomber a very satisfying card in my even warlock deck, as I always turn1 draw, if my opponent is aggro always has big chance to kill a 1 drop (pretty good as Lost in the Jungle ,Alleycat style cards are popular in aggro decks) and if it hits my face also not that bad , cause i get to upgrade Lesser Amethyst Spellstone , and come closer to my pecious Hooked Reaver activation, and it has reasonable stats.
I just wanted to highlightthats pretty cool, how classic cards become viable through time in different architypes like Raid Leader and Stormwind Champion did.
Also i share the deck if you interested to get the tune of it.
in short the deck contains 30inevitable damage from various simmetrical and normal spells, minions battlecry (without spell damage or any minion smorc damage) you guess the other... not many deck has much lifegain to withstand.
Nice thinking. I never paid much attention to Mad Bomber, but as you said: 1/1s are pretty rampart, and having him on a field with 2 1/1 is really helpful. Yes, there is the risk of hitting your face 3 times, but the payoff might be worth it. But not sure if he really works in controllock, since having him as a topdeck there might not be worth the benefits.

appreciate the comment, im not sure if its a controllock, rather a tempolock, playing with lifetotals, the 1 mana draw is so op you push the button every other turn, so topdecking is not an issue :) try the deck, and you'll se
I must admit this sounds like a very good card synergy for WLs :) I always loved/hated Mad Bomber, so its nice to see him find a place somewhere again :)
I perceive Mad Bomber as an anti-Paladin tech card. So if Odd Paladin gets more popular it becomes more powerful.
It's really *strictly* to deal with 1 health minions. You might think "what about against Even Shaman?". Nope - even a 2 health Dire Wolf Alpha or totem is far too likely to survive a Mad Bomber.
Odd Paladin is only 6.76% of the current ladder, far too low a percentage to run Mad Bomber imo. A fancy tournament strategy to target Paladin though might consider running it.
Mad Bomber compares most closely to Knife Juggler. It's like a Knife Juggler with all of the knives up-front, and where knives can target your own hero and minions. This makes it much stronger than Knife Juggler on Turn 2 (against one-health minions), but with far less value later in the game.

i totally agree with your point, but knife juggler fits in token/aggro style decks, meanwhile this specific decks playstyle based on chip damages, i tried to make situation where every come out is favourable, like:
1, hits enemy minion->always good, if kills perfect, if just damages , still can prepare defile
2, hits enemy face->perfect ,cause your win condition is to reduce it to 0 and every damage counts doesnt matter how small is it
3, hits own face->least good, but still can upgrade spellstone, and because the amount of self damage you cause, there is more built in self restoration than other decks
4, hits your own minion-> doesnt happen cause you not have board, expect giants and reavers
a vanilla 2 mana 3/2 is okay stat, everything above it counts premium, i think in this case mad bomber better than knife jugler in the early and in the late game too

If bomber hits your own face twice it will fully upgrade spellstones. Neat.
Anger is the punishment we give ourselves for someone else's mistake.
