About Bomb
Bomb, Equipment, designed by Amy Weber, Mark Nelson first released in augustus 1994 in the set Jyhad and was printed exactly in 5 different ways.
Bomb fits a niche **location-destruction deck**, particularly one using expendable minions to remove locations that an opponent relies on. It is a poor general-purpose weapon: striking for 5R is powerful, but taking 5 damage yourself will often put a vampire in torpor or destroy an ally unless you can prevent that damage. **Arson** is usually a better choice when you simply want to burn locations, while a conventional ranged weapon such as a **.44 Magnum** is more practical if you want to win combats repeatedly. I would consider Bomb only as a situational card in a location-heavy metagame or a deck specifically built to absorb its drawback; it generally should not see regular play.
