General strategy
The main aim of Bomb Warrior is to fill your opponent’s deck with a multitude of Bomb tokens so that every card draw risks dealing more damage to them and steadily whittles away at their health pool. At five damage a pop, this can represent some significant damage over time!
Early game:
A fairly standard early game awaits as you simply spend time playing a few minions to get your board presence built up, while removing your opponent’s opening drops.Sword and Boardis a decent way to keep early enemy drops off the battlefield, andShield Slamis a solid option too, as long as you have armour on deck.
You won’t be able to get Bombs in the enemy deck just yet, but play out cards likeEVIL QuartermasterandShield Blockwhen you can to cycle and get the ball rolling. If you haveCorsair Cachein hand, use it with whatever spare mana you have too - drawing an extra durabilityWrenchcaliburwill help you a lot.
Mid game:
You’ll want to start ramping up your Bomb shuffling even more as you approach the mid game, and luckily you have access to tools that make this even easier.Wrenchcaliburis the way you’ll be Bombing your opponent’s deck, and also taking out enemy minions to maintain control over your opponent’s board. Now’s the time to keep the board clear -Lord Barovcan clear when combined withWhirlwindorSword and Board, and trading off minions is always a shout in order to hold onto board control.
If things are looking a little grim, cards such asCutting Classcan refill your hand for cheap if you’re holding a weapon. If they survive then you can continue to push for more damage.Brawlis an option if you become overwhelmed entirely.
Late game:
A couple of late game options in Bomb Warrior can give you that last burst of power to finish off your opponent. One of the standout cards from the new set isBlastmaster Boom, which will summon a number of Boom Bots on your side of the board, depending on how many Bombs are in your opponent’s deck. Chances are at this stage of the game that should be a fair few and enough to wipe out your opponent when set off!
You can also useKronx Dragonhoofafter puttingGalakrond, the Unbreakableon as your Hero. This’ll give you a choice of Devastations with which to survive or finish the enemy.
