So far with all the current cards, no ellek, and no bounce effects it is possible to shuffle 8 bombs into your opponents deck, all of which cost below 7 mana. This is a very strong card and should on average always will have at least 1 if not more. This means that boom will at least always be as good as his older counterpart if not better. Very good card, potentially 5 stars
Very strong, the weapon is already decent. With one attack, we have the old Dr. Boom. We will probably have stronger bomb generators. This Dr. Boom 2.0 is dope.
Bad design. They print a card like that, they should have made it like the C'Thun package. Just like C'Thun, it's a build-around Legendary that is worthless on it's own, yet unlike C'Thun, it's a standalone Legendary that you get from a pack. It contradicts Blizzard's previous design philosophies. Above all else, it does the exact same thing as the OG Dr. Boom. Badly designed and uninspired card.

Check out my ambitiously horrific custom expansion, Call of the Ocean!
if a deck with no heal you only need 6 bomb to kill it. Now with 2 new card only Warrior can do that already, not mention we have the 5 mana from the other expasion. Dr.Boom is just a bonus lol
To me it doesn't really matter if this card ends up being played or not, the gesture alone is a Spit and the Laugh to the face of any long Term Hearthstone player that remember how it was when blizzard used to print actually useful Legendaries.
The last Legendary we had like that was Lich king. A legendary that you see it and say "Yes, I am going to put this in my deck" not a legendary that you see it and you start thinking "hmmm, can I make it work, and even if I can, is it worth it?"
Bomb warrior requires playing a lot of low-tempo cards to get a bomb in the deck... so that deck in general seems real weak.
HOWEVER, if anyone's played the solo content and had to deal with Togwaddle summoning 7 boom bots, a board full of boom bots is brutal. It clears your board, or if you don't have a board to clear, does ~18 face damage.
If it wasn't for this one card, bomb warrior would be a terrible deck. I still don't think it's viable, but never underestimate the power of a boom bot.
By useful I guess you mean overpowered neutral legendaries that were so unbalanced they went into every aggro, mid range and control deck in the meta? I agree it was way better to see the same legendaries over and over again every game (because they were so useful). I’m guessing Loatheb falls into the useful category.
I don't think people will play bomb warrior. However if you play dr boom + the weapon (or another good bomb generator) in an aggro warrior or rush warrior, you can put 1 to 4 bombs in your opponent's deck and have a decent dr boom and even a stronger one if you draw the weapon early in the game. It's a safe craft. Warrior's decks too expensive though T_T
You add some TRASH to your deck,then you beg to DRAW those TRASH, then you play those TRASH and add some TRASH into your opponent's D*ck, then you beg that your opponent doesn't draw the TRASH, then you beg a little more that you draw Dr.Boom before your opponent draws the TRASH
And then you have a BETTER Dr.Boom !!!!
Isn't it amazing ? Who would want to play a normal Dr.Boom now that this card exists ?
If you play the new Boom after you are in Dr. Boom Mad Genius mode, then they have rush. So they can easily trade off the board. If you ask me, this card can be good in both control and aggro, but more like in control. I think fatigue warrior is back. And the new 3 mana 3/3 is also a Mech, and omega assembly is still a thing.

I can see aggro warrior being good with this as a finisher. Play weapons, bombs, rush minions, keep going face
At itself he is super strong. But is boom warrior good deck to play? Maybe but I dont think so.
Old Dr. Boom was better because was neutrall, this one is just for warrior .... but i love boomb mechanic in enemy deck so i am ok with that <3
if a deck with no heal you only need 6 bomb to kill it. Now with 2 new card only Warrior can do that already, not mention we have the 5 mana from the other expasion. Dr.Boom is just a bonus lol
Wait why is this so well rated? There has been a lot of power creep since the Dr. 7 days. He barely sees play in wild any more.
This is probably quite a bit weaker then the old Dr. Not sure if this is really meta defining.
Occasionally gives helpful advice.
Rafaam says hi
Is the Burrowing Mine from Iron Juggernaut classified as a bomb? Does it count towards Boom's mechanic?
Boom Control Warrior is going to be at least a Tier 3 deck. Definitely playable.
I would rather pull him from my packs than rafaam the joke and hagatha the ogre
So Blizzard is pretty much saying.
YOU REMEMBER Dr.BOOM ? WASN'T HE AMAZING ?
Now you can put some TRASH IN YOUR DECK, to have a CHANCE to have a BETTER Dr.Boom !!!!!!
* No thanks, I will just take the consistant 2 Bomb Dr.Boom with no other condition and garbage in my Deck , thanks bye *

No one EVER thought Dr Boom was bad lol

It's actually very simple
You add some TRASH to your deck,then you beg to DRAW those TRASH,
then you play those TRASH and add some TRASH into your opponent's D*ck,
then you beg that your opponent doesn't draw the TRASH,
then you beg a little more that you draw Dr.Boom before your opponent draws the TRASH
