    Arena fodder, the return Bomb Lobber: Electric Boogaloo

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    A non-dragon non-invoke related card like this doesn't seem like it will find many homes in constructed, but its a powerful card for Arena for sure. 

    To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the women.

    Honestly this seems worse than Fire Plume Phoenix.

    Maybe I am completely wrong but the ability to target is quite important, one extra damage doesn't seem worth having a random target. This should be quite good in arena though.

    Would rather just use the dragon one for 1 cheaper. The old GvG version of this card was fun, but the 3 damage is in a bit of an awkward spot. Can’t ping to deal with 5 health, stuff might survive turn 4. Don’t think it’s worth it

    Who needs consistency when you could have fun?

    Random is a hard sell for me, but at least it's cheaper than Bomb Lobber? I just don't see you wasting a slot (or two) in your deck for this.

    Not a bad card tbh, but randomness means it's probably better of in Arena.

    Why the "random"? it's a 4 mana 3/3 .. very bad, 2/5.

    I'm sorry for my bad english :)

    Flanking Strike Card Image EXCEPT RANDOM!

    No but seriously, this isn't a bad card. Obviously due to the fact that the target is random this won't be very consistent. But dealing 3 damage is usually enough to kill something, or put something in killing range, by turn 4. Also, with the shaman quest this deals 3 damage to an extra minion, which makes this card much more reliable. Plus, this isn't a bad battlecry to add onto Shudderwock, the fact that this is random actually makes it better, if the effect were targetable, then Shudderwock might punch something on your board.

    Seems like a solid neutral version of Flanking Strike that won't see play in constructed because random damage is too risky.

    Dunno this card has the power level, the problem is that it's random, but if you can trade to have it more cosistantly hit your target it's decent.. but it's random.. so probably arena card, a great arena card.. mind.

    This is a good on-curve Tempo play and it will see play in Midrange and Tempo style decks. The randomness isn't as big of a deal on smaller boards, and card like Flame Juggler saw play in the past. I think this might have a spot in Zoo decks perhaps.

    We got a new version of a Bomb Lobber which was always good in arena! It's not a bad card but i don't see it in a ladder deck. There are usually stronger 4 drops to play. But it might see play on ladder after the next rotation in april but not now.

    And i glad ot see a classic character from Warcraft universe in Hearthstone!

    I don't know if is good enough to see constructed play. I can see it as 1of in quest shaman as the battlecry hits only enemies so is nice for Shudder too. Maybe is good enough to be played in a highlander deck, not sure. I'd vote this card 2/5.

    In arena i can see it being very good

    Bomb lobber saw play and the fire plume phoenix was good enough to remove thing in turn 4. So i think this will see play in some tempo decks.

    Never netdeck, craft Whizbang instead!

    Almost always a better Bomb Lobber, but it's not hard to beat that one. But it would be too much if it were targetable.

    A new Bomb Lobber that shouldn't see any play in standard. Random removal is not something you want to rely on.

    Works well and can remove a few goons won't see the light outside of arena too much though I expect a few cards had to take the knee compared to all the other op-ness

    This is a nice arena card, since Bomb Lobber was also a decent arena card. It won't see play in constructed, though.

    the random minion is the problem here...

    But that can be - to some extend - controlled ... 
    And it ain't random anymore if there's only one ^^

    ... meme aside, it is indeed an inconsistent tool to a deck

    With every one here saying that the random aspect made it bad are clearly forgetting Shudderwock and the shaman quest. 
    For 4 mana, a 3/3 body with removal is insane in the early game.

    An arena card that is basically a randomized Flanking Strike, not constructed worthy.

    In wild Fire Plume Phoenix is strictly better.

    That won't see any constructed play ever besides in arena. The stats are horrendous, and you'll be pretty sad when this target a lackey.

    Not a bad card, stats are average and dealing 3 damage to a minion is definitely a good effect (even if it's a random one).

    Bomb Lobber, model 2019. Great in arena, in constructed solid pick for budget decks becouse it works similar to Flanking Strike which saw ton of play.

    Fun and interactive game.
