At least BoA is arguably the best point removal in the whole game.
Which do you think is the best card of each faction?
Sandswhirl is great, sure. But BoA destroy any minion anywhere and the 2/2 dervish can trade with another minion (2 for 1) or can go face. Sandswhirl could be better tempowise, but not always and it doesnt have unlimited range. To me they are on the same level but if i have to choose one i go with BoA
Bouncing is weaker than hard-removal, but it’s close enough. While the opponent would be free to play the bounced minion again next turn, it is still removed from the board. Sandswirl also leaves a 3/3 body and a Exhuming Sands, all for just 5 mana. So even if it is pseudo-removal, it isn’t a tempo-loss. I still think BoA is a better card, however.

Honestly BoA has so much going on for it that i cant even deem it as good design. It is strong, sure, but not good. Not well made. It denies Dying Wish/Deathwatch, it destroys, it doesnt count as a summon, it can end games on its own by clearing a blocker and attacking face, it does too much too well.
Please CPG rework BoA into BoI (Iron).

Before Vet had sandswirl reader, I would fearlessly slam large minions in their face. Worst case scenario, they answer it, the board is even again, and I have initiative. Best case scenario, my big dude sticks, and I can do any number of brutal things with it.
With reader in the mix, I can’t slam big minions like that anymore. Now they get a body, and an infinite value generator in the form of a sand tile.
