This guy seems rathers strong, no? If you get it to opponent's corner, it will act as a cheap volcano++. If some creatures try to stop you, blow them up.

Lava Blister essentially does the same thing, but no one plays that card. I do think bomb squad is stronger, but not that much stronger.

For Blister you need 2 cards, both the blister and the creature to deliver it. It also needs some time to build up the bomb, so opponent can take measures to minimize damage. The Squad on the other hand is easy and fast to deliver to target, especially with stuff like the enchantment that turns the edge of map to base for you, or osin faith healers to keep it alive long enough to destroy all opponent's buildings at once.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the card must be nerfed or anything. But I think it might be one of the best cards in the new set.

So you saying that Squad is good with another card and you just said that Blister is bad because it need another card ;)

I think the fact that you can play him and sac him at the same turn makes him pretty strong.
Especially with Crush of the Void in play.

Perhaps he should require dimming in order to sac? Or get a counter when dimmed, and can only sac if he has a counter? Something like that...

Or maybe he should just stay a good strong card.

I like it as a strong card. If you would like to nerf it, make him deal damage any time he dies. Like the Putrid Zombie. On 1 body it would be a bit risky to play it when the enemy is near. :)
