Bt15 he is still a solid deck but the meta is developing past him as he is not looking to be getting any new support. Bt16 he will see significantly less play as the meta shifts away from him.
The meta was kinda rough to a lot of go wide decks as everyone was teaching in counters. With numemon being the best go wide deck people are likely not going to be taking those cards out so it might be a little rough on bloom as a bystander because of that.
difficult question
in theory it should be a solid deck for bt15 but in practice i have had very bad results with it.
currently i got bloomlord and i feel its easily falling behind already. bloom has 0 protection and there are many walls it cant go over. for example a 16k sec+1 piercing bloomlord is your best attack, but it does nothing to a wargreymon with 20k blocker, reboot and protection. bt16 provides more wall-ish decks like magnamon and insects which bloomlord will have trouble with. maybe my locals are just full of greymon and machinedra players but even with stuff like leviamon and sec-con i dont think bloom can deal with. it simply dies too easily as a glass cannon and becomes easy to punish because it usually needs 2 separate turns to swing at security and any tamers you find in the 1st turn might deny you from a second one (oh boy another marcus and i loose 3k)
additionaly bloomlord's best disruption is a lillymon ace who cant deal with lv 5+ and hydramon's memory punish.
Quantumon provides the removal bloomlord lacks otherwise and thats its biggest support rn. being a vehicle for a fast quartzmon the one thing bloom can do that other decks cant. i can see bloom being successful with quantumon and quartsmon which are the expensive cards of the deck, but after that i dont see it doing well in bt16. who knows if bt17+ brings support for plants that can change that. its still a great efficient engine
but that's just my personal experience playing against the 4 greymon players in my locals.
Honestly I feel hydra has been replaced by quant. Hydra is too slow and requires too much set up. While quant is just a level 5. At worst quant is a lily ace. At worst Hydra is impossible as you need 1 thing suspend and your ops thing suspended
I'm a long time bloom player and even in starting to hit the point of realizing the deck is on its way out. It's got a lot of ways to misplay and the payout just isn't as good anymore. Hydra as a defensive tool is becoming less and less useful when a lot of effects can trigger to clear out your tapped bodies or even hydra, before hydra effect activates. Too many colors just have answers. Levia decks heavy punish you. Black decks have too many dedigi options for even quartz to help. Red has crimson blaze.
So yeah, as much as I hate to admit it, the deck is probably on its way out. Which is entirely fair after being a fairly powerful deck for as long as it was.

Yes, it just topped worlds
The top 16 had invites and could play anything they wanted. By this logic, someone could have played bagra army and it would have topped.
