The card is bad,but it is not as bad as it looks. Some things people forget:
- You can put a counter on a creature in response to the upkeep-trigger of the squad. So that the turn after you play the squad, you can already have two counters on a creature.
- If you have several squads in play, and a creature dies by the counters, each squad will trigger for each creature dying that way
- One bomb squad kills a creature and deals 4 damage every two turns. Two bomb squads can kill one creature each turn and deal 8 damage each turn. Three bombs quads can kill three creatures each turn, dealing 12 damage each turn.

Are those the dwarves themselves in the picture? Because they appear to be a rather incompetent demolition team, if so.

Far too slow to have been practical. If you want to kill creatures, just use reds' myriad array of sorcery and instant burn spells. Or better yet, just throw those spells at your opponents' head.

unfortunately he's only 1/1 for 3R, but i like the mechanic. on top of that, creature destruction (rather than doing damage) is quite unusual for red.

Two of these. Tap each for 2 counter on one creature. Next turn the upkeep puts two more on it destroying it and hitting opponent for 8. Do this ever turn

I use this with Kulrath Knight not only will it eventually cause creatures to die, it pacifies them.
