Murlock Needs Help

Multiplayer Discussion
1

I love thematic decks, namely ones that focus on a single tribe. Murlock falls into this category. Murlocs are fun and funny. Murlocs have a strong synergy, but one that is currently too weak. I find I’m unable to kill druids fast enough to avoid their lategame plays. I also find I am bested at throwing buffed minions down than, say, Buff Paladin. And I don’t believe there are any Murlocs that can close the deal as a lategame win condition.

I’m frustrated here. I’m by means a skillful pilot. However, I do have access to HSREPLAY premium and so can see that more skillful pilots than myself are not having any luck with this deck either. Warlock being my main class, it’s very upsetting that for all I’ve put into maintaining a full standard warlock collection is essentially moot at the moment.

And so, at last, I am very much advocating for buffs to this specific archetype. I believe it’d be the healthiest of warlock decks, as opposed to, say, Curse Warlock or Mill Warlock. I’m not a game designer and so won’t push any specific buffs here. Nevertheless, this deck certainly needs them to be at all viable.

For what it’s worth, here’s my current Murlock list. The idea is to play aggressively of course, and rely on dredging colossals if necessary using Ambassador Faelin. This is clearly unreliable, sadly. Very fun when it works, though has no consistency. Open to critique and advice here.

I have only faced one murloc before, he generated, dredged and played the minion that increases all murloc stats. There was also the spell that buffs all murlocs.

I would say the snowball is greater but at the expense of no refill.

3

The problem is every murloc more expensive than 3 mana is too slow. So basically both dredge sinergy murlocs. If you could combine the murloc card pool of wl and shaman it would make a decent deck but as it is now its lacking.

Btw i would cut the tidehunter and classic finley. Maybe put in the 0 mana murloc and a cooy of coldlight

Gorloc Ravager needs buffing. It’s the worst performing card in Murloc decks (tied with Core Finley).

Bad game designers produce bad cards! They should have fired these incompetents a long time ago!!
