I use the BREAD strategy for drafting, but am unsure what exactly makes a "Bomb".
For example, in a Kahns of Tarkir draft I'm normally quite happy to pick a Mystic of the Hidden Way as a first pick, but is it a bomb? If it isn't why not, and what does qualify as a bomb?
First off, what is a bomb? According to a Limited Information article it is ... a powerful, game-ending, stabilizing card." though the author does admit that other people might have slightly different definitions. The MTG Salvation Wiki describes a bomb as "...a card, generally used in conjunction with Limited play, that always makes a large card impact on a game in which it is played."
From these definitions we can gather that 'bombs' are cards that when you play them have a high impact on the board, making it so that if you were behind you have now caught up, or even pulled ahead (stabilizing), and if unanswered will win you the game quickly (powerful, game-ending). In general I would say a bomb is anything that when played, regardless of board state, makes you go 'Oh crap' when played against you.
In general this means that a lot of bombs are creatures with high power and toughness (usually 5/5 or bigger), evasion or protection from removal is nice but not always required especially on ones with powerful 'enters the battlefield' triggers, speaking of which ETB triggers are also help make bombs because even if they have removal you still got some value out of the card. There can be other factors that that make creatures bombs but these are the big ones.
While a lot of bombs are creatures it is possible to have non-creature bombs too, most Planeswalkers are bombs, for other non-creature non-Planeswalker cards generally you want things that will have a large impact on the board for example End Hostilities or any other board wipe, Overrun or Flying Crane Technique or other things that give your entire team a boost and/or evasion. For these though it is a bit harder to define exactly what makes a bomb since bomb creatures are designed primarily to attack, but non-creature bombs can do a wide variety of things.
As for Mystic of the Hidden Way, according to the definition I've been using it is not a bomb. While it does have evasion in its 'can't be blocked', it doesn't have very impressive stats at 3/2. This means it neither helps you stabilize your board if you are behind, since it can't block most cards without dying too, and while it will inevitably win the game for you if you keep attacking it will take a long time. This doesn't mean that it is a bad card, it just means it isn't a bomb.
Bombs are powerful game-winning cards that one will just snap pick every draft if one sees it (and if they are in one's colors). They are so good that if one sees them early enough, they establish your colors, and sometimes they are so good that even if you see them in pack 2, you might switch colors or splash for them. Note "game-winning" as well - the bomb will always affect (almost) every board once in play, and often win the game on its own if it stays in play.
Examples of bombs:
Lyra Dawnbringer. A 5-mana 4/4 flyer is generally quite strong and one is happy to play a couple of copies. Lyra goes beyond that by 1) being 5/5, 2) having first strike, and 3) having lifelink (she has a final ability that's largely irrelevant in limited). If you're behind she stabilizes the board, if the board is equal she will kill opponent in four turns. As is typical of a bomb, if you see her P1P1 you are always picking her, regardless of what else are in the pack (masterpieces aside).
The Immortal Sun. It has an immediate impact on the board, and if it stays in play for more than a couple of turns you effectively win.
Archangel Avacyn. Again you are happy to play a 5-mana 4/4 flyer usually, and this 4/4 flyer comes with powerful abilities. Flash means she's a combat trick (a powerful one too), and even after the indestructibility fades opponent can't easily block because the flip ability is again very powerful.
Teferi, Hero of Dominaria. Stabilizes the board if you are behind, snowballs the board if you are ahead, wins the game if unanswered. Most (but not all) planeswalkers do similar things and are also bombs as a result.
The cards above are undoubtedly bombs - nobody will disagree with you if you call them as such. But there are also edge cases:
Dryad Greenseeker. It's a 2-mana 1/3, which is bad but playable. The ability however is very powerful, since it draws a card roughly 40% of the time, is instant-speed (i.e. you can block with her and then use it), and doesn't cost mana to activate. The card is very powerful and you are always happy to run it, but there are more powerful cards in a vacuum. If P1P1 you open a pack with Vivien Reid and Dryad Greenseeker, you probably should take Vivien. Some people will argue that makes Dryad Greenseeker not a bomb; others will say they are both bombs, it's just that Vivien is the "bigger bomb".
Tatyova, Benthic Druid. If you hold her till you have 5 mana + a land in hand, then she immediately gains you life, draws a card, and wins the game if unanswered. She is very powerful, worth splashing for and you are always happy to have her in your deck. But as a 5-mana 3/3 she might be too small to impact the board if you are behind, and there are more powerful cards in a vacuum (e.g. Lyra, Teferi above).
I never drafted Khans of Tarkir, but based on my experience in other sets I will say Mystic of the Hidden Way is not a bomb. Having to invest 5 mana into a 3/2 evasive attacker is not especially appealing - see Lyra/Avacyn above which also cost 5 mana, attack for more damage, are also evasive, and have powerful abilities besides. It is potentially a good card though. I'd have to draft the format to see for myself.
Possibly the simplest way to do this is imagine yourself in a losing situation where you are dead in about 2 turns (for Limited, ex: you have a 2/2 and 10 life, your opponent has a couple 3/3s and 20 life, you are both top decking). Imagine you draw this card that you think might be a bomb and you can play it in the next turn cycle (your current turn + your opponent's turn). Does it change your losing board into a winning one? Are you at least even with your opponent? If the answer is yes, it's a bomb. If it's no, then it probably isn't a bomb. It can still be a solid card, but it doesn't have the power to make a big enough impact to be called a bomb.
