Negative Impact of Bomb Rares

I actually don't mind bad rares in draft. I have much more of a problem with bomb rares in draft. For example, VOW I think is the posterchild of this problem, where there were several rares like, Hullbreaker Horror, Halana and Alena, Partners, and Dreadfast Demon that if you didn't have an answer for them at instant speed, they were almost impossible to beat. In fact, my biggest complaint about VOW was how format warping rares and mythics were, which felt like skill was less important than luck.

The issue is bomb rares not weak ones.
