Blastmaster Boom
i’ve only just realised that Dr. Boom is supposed to look like Dr. Doom…
Blastmaster Boom
I think Control Bomb Warrior will be really strong since warriors can generally survive till fatigue (at least with odd but i guess we’ll see) due to the insane amount of removal and this gives control warrior the win condition that it’s lacking. Obviously vs combo decks it will probably lose but most control decks lose to combo decks anyways
Omega Devastator
tbh Warrior is getting to the point where it has too much good removal. Odd warrior had plenty of removal and since that’s not gonna be viable in standard anymore, it means cards like warpath and execute will find their way into control warrior. if Omega Defender were to be included it would likely replace another good removal card.
Personally i think it will just be a card to get from Dr Boom or Omega assembly. Control Warrior already and still will lose against most other control decks due it’s lack of a good win condition and this card doesn’t help against aggro decks at all. Is this an insane card? Yes. but in Warrior when competing against all the other insane removals it isn’t insane, it’s just good.
Rafaam's Scheme
looks like blizzard’s pushing token warlock now with grim rally and blood troll sapper.
Control deck’s win condition to outlasting opponents only really applies to aggro matchups. Decks like control warlock had Rin, Mages had Janna etc to win control vs control matchups. Warrior was the only control decks without a win condition vs other control decks and so would just auto lose most of the time. dragons roar sort of fixed that but it relied on RNG in getting Emeriss since it was the only dragon that was impactful enough to win a control matchup alone. (maybe Temporus as well in some situations)
However now we have the bomb cards which gives control warrior a pretty decent looking win condition.
Reckless Flurry rotating out doesn’t really matter since it only really works in odd warrior and Baku is being HoFed. I guess Omega Devestator might replace blood razor though.
Overall i think control warrior will split into dragon warrior and mech bomb warrior and only the latter will run Omega Devestator as the dragon synergies give plenty of removal already.
