I have to say that the reconstruction ability is probably a pivotal reason for people to go exploder late in the game, since you have about a 1 in 3 (I think?) chance for your opponent to not get any gold at all while you get several thousand. If the game has been going on a while, an exploder's bounty can get up to over 1000, and being deprived of 1/3 of that could make a difference in the outcome if the exploder happens to be extremely lucky
In conclusion, though not banning explosives leaves the option to explode open, it may end up giving much more gold to your opponents in the long run if you do it with a tinker.

You may notice that some of my posts are somewhat disconnected in their ideas and don't really flow that well. That's because my mind drifts around like a jellyfish in a strong ocean current. You just lost the game.
