โ€ข Hes a legendary card.
โ€ข Look at that big nose and that long ear[1]
โ€ข His laugh sound so awesome
โ€ข 7 attack is pretty decent if you don't manage to buff him
โ€ข 7 health is a great starting point for buffs
โ€ข His flavour text (MARVEL AT HIS MIGHT!) is gorgeous.
โ€ข He's a goblin
โ€ข Everyone thought he was shit so when you smash someone in the face with a 7/7 and 2 1/1's you feel like a memelord
โ€ข He helped make GvG viable

Reason why BGH was my favorite card back in GVG

โ€ข Kills Dr.Boom.

The boom bots were the main worry, not the 7/7

I know it's a super dead conversation by now, but letting them do 4 damage was just an insane decision. Killing off a freshly played Azure Drake? That's ok??

Naxx and GvG were the best times. Shame ungoro is so pay2win with all the good cards being epic or leggo

You're not wrong on the fact a viable Un'Goro deck is far more expansive, but I don't want ot return to t4 Piloted Shredder.

Come play wild against me. Pauperstone means shredder is the only 4 drop I have in every deck. I got the Phoenix from it 4 times :D

What about midrange hunter? It's like 2k dust.

Maybe, but that's still only 1 deck, GvG, aside from Dr. Boom had a variety of good legendaryless decks, especially different forms of Zoo.

Yeah, not like Dr Boom or BGH...

I like to be able to have big stuff, 3 mana i got u in my fucking sights was opresive as hell, patrรณn and combo druid i dont miss them either.

I think its the best expansiรณn, with old goods/loe near It.

BGH was the first epic I ever opened. For a year he was in almost every deck I had.

[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 12:22:56 on April 21, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

But the boom bots had a 100% chance to kill BGH when they explode.

I thought it was a 100% chance to go face for 4?

100% to clean kill Azure Drake.

So a 3 mana card eats both 7/7 and a 1/1 bomb. Pretty good value.

I feel like the whole Marvel at his might is a reference to Marvel's Dr. Doom. might be wrong. but they both have green hoodies and metal arms.

there's no way blizzard would ever reference something in pop culture

You don't say? And here I thought he was a reference to Dr. Mario.

Dolomite808 ยท 8 points ยท Posted at 15:30:04 on April 21, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

Clearly it's a reference to Dr. Cox from Scrubs. The boom bots are Turk and JD.

I saw your post about Ultrasaur which was very similar. Please make this a series you do, I'm loving these

This is not the person who made the ultrasaur post. He's using that post's outline to create a new copypasta.

Well that's dissapointing

No up votes until the entire copy pasta

Dr Boom is quickly becoming one of my favorite cards. It's just so positive and generous. Practically costs nothing at all at seven mana you drop him on the board and that chill ass motherfucker gives you boom bots to use later in the game. And you also get this adorable little 7/7 can ping things but usually is too harmless to be removed. But more than the DB is just so positive. It comes on the board like "hehehehahaha" and I'm like "yeah hehehehahaha let's do this shit" and when he attacks he's like "WAAAAH" and I'm like "hell yeah WAAAAH." He doesn't say some bullshit macho shit like "I will destroy you" he's just like "hehehehahaha" And it looks so happy. I mean this is an inanimate NPC literally brought to life by Ben brode. It understands it's life is a temporary magical gift as standard comes and the dude is just fucking loving it. I mean look at his face he's just so happy. I am literally never sad when Dr boom is on board. IDK if he's gonna make it into the metagame or not but for now he a pretty chill card
