I am in a meta that consists of mostly fish/GAT decks with some stax and other usual stuff. My deck of choice (until now) has been Ichorid, however, I find it too inconsistent in the current meta, with my bazaars getting wasteded and bridges essentially neutered by them being able creatures. I am currently looking at Bomberman (U/W) to take for a tourney, however, I am not sure how will it handle the field. Is it a viable choice in my meta?

That list seems pretty interesting but wouldn't you want REB's? They're really good against Tog and Fish (remember it kills creatures too) and also the inevitable Flash even though he didn't mention it.

I have never liked REB in this deck.  I think its the most commonly questioned card in the deck whenever I give it to someone to look at. 

My primary 'beef' with REB is that the deck is full of Red cards that need to come out early, and often doesn't have the ability to keep that extra {R} open.  The deck needs to drop its threats hot and heavy as early as possible.  Even with SSG, sitting on a REB of will is not really that good - if you could have used that SSG for something better.

I would at the very least sideboard it because you are never going to beat Flash without it, and its also really helpful in the Fish/GAT matchup that he mentioned are prevalent. Keep in mind it destroys blue permanents (Tog, Fish Dudes) as well.

I think Pyrokenisis is better against Flash, because you can use it on turn 0.  So if your going to be boarding cards thats what I would choose.  I guess what I'm saying is that aginst GAT, I would rather cast an Orb on turn 1 and have it get countered (and have another threat to cast on turn 2-3), than cast Orb on turn 2 with REB backup.
