I see this deck almost everywhere on ladder, and keep dying to it. Bombs provide inevitability against Control and Brawl/Warpath/Rush minions give it a strong boost against Aggro.
What can I do against them, just SMOrc them down? Or is there another way?
Mech Hunter seems to be the best bet. It’s not particularly SMOrcy, just very resilient.
The first few days, I was battering them with Handlock using Rafaam, but either the decks changed or people have got better with it, because it’s much more of a toss up now.
If you have trouble getting rid of bombs, there are some options like Arch-Villain Rafaam and Archivist Elysiana. You can also diminish your chances of drawing bombs by shuffling more cards into the deck.
Lastly, you can try to burn bombs by having a full hand at the start of your turn. That is a bit more difficult to do but it’s a possibility if you can keep up the pressure otherwise.
There are 2 things you can do about it:
1- Nothing
2- Concede
This was my problem with the previous meta and apperantly the devs are way too incompetent to fix it: a single class dominating the ladder.
The meta is fun so far except Bomb Warriors. If they removed the deck today this has a potential to become one of the best meta ever.
Unfortunately as someone else stated in another post, the deck will be around until 2021 since they dont really desperately need the cards from year of the raven, well maybe the hero card and Omega Assembly but the rest of the cards are just deck fillers and im pretty sure they will add even more riddiculous cards in the upcoming expansions this year.
You think Zilliax and Dyn-o-matic are deck fillers? The deck is garbage against aggro without the year of the Raven cards.
2 days in and it is being over played but it’s wr has been dropping all day, so it’s way to early to be waving your pitch forks, sharping them definitely but it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s not no.1 in wr by the end of tomorrow.
Could just be because I’ve been more frustrated by wild, where I keep running into resurrect priests in casual…makes me feel like busting out the Murlocs just to crush them out of spite.
The deck, like usually warrior, lacks tempo in general and has to commit more resources than it has draw, therefor it is very weak to tempo decks.
Miracle Rogue and Tempo Mage seem to be the strongest tempo decks so far which is good, of course they’ll get counters too but they will defend control decks from warriors
It’s actually doing ok in those match-ups because it has massive single card tempo swings, be it rush, weapons or board clears. So whilst it’s still bad for aggressive tempo, it’s ability to take tempo back is pretty ridiculous.
It’s 55/45 favourite against tempo Rogue…80/20 against the spell tempo Mage lol
Right now they are not but we still have 2 more expansions this year + the bomb mechanic will remain for another 3 expansions, 5 in total. Now consider the fact that Blizzard releases 135 cards for each expansion, 10 (18 with duplicates) for each class which makes it 50 cards by the time year of dragon rotates out. If they cant find a replacement for those among 50 cards then we have a lot bigger problem in our hands. All cards except meta-defining quality cards can be replaced.
Because once the deck became easily the most powerful deck everybody started to play with it. Their WR drop could be because of mirror match-ups. I dont know if HSreplay consider mirror match-ups though.
Yeah it takes out the mirror. Maybe more people are switching to mech hunter.
I have no issues against them. I’m playing a Heistbaron tempo rogue with Nomi list.
I usually win, but if I don’t, I’m not getting ROFLSTOMPED, it’s usually a close match.
I think using Myra’s Unstable Element should delete all bombs (if not drawn until your hand is full). Haven’t had the chance to test this exact scenario yet.
It does.
Already down to no.2 behind token Druid. Even though it hasn’t been my experience, Tempo Rogue is being played just about as much. Those 2 are being played more than twice as much as the next closest.
I’ve only played a few matches against bomb warriors, but I’ve won all of them with Zoo lock. Even when they manage to set up 2-3 bombs in my deck Rafaam takes care of that problem, they just become extra legendaries. Yay, free legendaries!
Just run Archivist Elysianna in your control warrior. I’ve lost one out of about 10 games against bomb warrior. I use the 2/6 repeat-a-spell legendary with shield block or omega assembly too. Not sure how I’ll fare against dragon warriors, but putting a few dragon discovers in my deck isn’t a big change.
I currently run 2 3/3 rushes and 2 of the 5/5 rushes, as well as Akali the Rhino. I use 2 of the 3/8 mechs that pull a minion from opponent’s deck and for some reason I used the opponent casts a spell minion because it’s fun.
What I can see at the moment is Warriorstone, and I can only see pogo rogue changing that.
Also I’ve only lost a few games against tempo decks.
