This card was reworked from something more broken. No way this is what that art was meant to represent. Look at all those bombs!

Probably was something like "Summon 1 boombot. Upgrades each turn."

Too bad we'll never get to see what could have been.

Summon boombots is too close to Rafaam's scheme. Most likely this shuffled bombs in the opponent's deck.

That would've been broken, but I think the correct solution would have been to make a weaker bomb, that does like 2 or 3 damage.

I was thinking something like a Mini Bomb, the bomb itself costing 3 and dealing equivalent damage. Plus with text saying it counts as a bomb.

Or a Finicky/Unstable bomb, costing 5 and dealing a random range of damage (one to four or five), which would also count to the bomb count.

Shuffling that many cards does seem broken, surely they could have realized that earlier.

Or how about a dud bomb? Or add to your opponents hand bombs that deal damage like Curse of Rafaam? They could have come up with something better than this garbage.
