Are you trying to make abomb help your offense or defense?   I find that the most effective abomb decks usually use abomb to lock out, or use abomb to clear out defense to walk in.  It almost feels like abomb is just in this deck as more of a utility and while it is indeed a good card, you can build much better offenses and defenses when you don't have to focus on getting it into play and triggering it so much.
Don't get me wrong, I love me some abomb decks.  It is simply my opinion that you need to stray from balanced decks when you use it.
Gates of Hell is by far the best card in the game.  No questions asked.
