New Rare Shaman Spell: Nofin Can Stop Us

Rare · Spell · Forged in the Barrens · Give your minions +1/+1. Give your Murlocs an extra +1/+1.

A sort of mini-Everyfin is Awesome, but with different levels of buff instead of the mana discount.

Man, some of these cards seem to be targeting wild more than standard. I am not sure what the state of Shaman is or will be in a month but this doesn’t seem like much without a discount or multiplier

Off the top of my head it would seem druid versions are much better

Couldn’t this be run in some aggro shaman deck with minimal Murlocs? I mean 3 mana give your minions +1/+1 is borderline decent, but then giving 1 or 2 if your minions +2/+2 seems nice

Depends on how many Murlocs you’re running.

Obviously, without Murlocs, this is just Blessing of the Ancients minus the Twinspell, which is definitely worse. (And that’s not a card that’s been core, even to token Druid decks).

But, for each Murloc it hits, it gets quite a bit better.

Murloc decks seem dead without Warleader so can’t see this seeing play unless there is a load more support… Which there won’t be

If you have three or more minions this is pretty good. Murloc Shaman tends to be an inexpensive deck, so I’ll fall back on it if I don’t draft well.

Is the one who gives poison gone? Without him, angler or warleader, it just doesn’t seem good

Without warleader aggro murloc doesn’t seem viable, but standard will have murlocs that I dare say more midrange, with some utility

For class murlocs shaman only has magicfin… for now.

Rather than being the main threat/focus I could imagine select murlocs playing a supportive role in decks, like how way back corrupted seer served as an AoE.

Another note is that rotation is taking away bloodlust and totemic wrath and splitting axe and storm’s wrath. This means nofin will be one of the few group buffs, should shamans want to go wide.

Shaman: Hey Druid, I can Arbor Up too!
Druid: pats Shaman Cute, but not quite.

Gotta say, I love the card art :laughing:

:musical_note: :musical_note: :musical_note:

And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nofin’s gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We’ll still have each other
Nofin’s gonna stop us
Nofin’s gonna stop us now

This is underwhelming unless they give us a ton more murloc support.

I believe you meant Starfishship.

A better card would have been summon 2x 1/1 murlocs and give all your minions +1/+1

There must always be a Lich King!..

And a Murloc Shaman!

I mean they add major support for the archetype every 2 years when the previous support goes to Wild.

yes no Toxfin in core set , no warleader
There will be Murlocs but really weakened unless the print more support

You work for blizzard?

Meh. Wish Team5 would quit with the Murlocs. The people at Blizzard think Murlocs are funny. Murlocs stopped being funny over 15 years ago. Murlocs are stupid, boring, and dumb. Take notes, T5. Murlocs aren’t cute and funny so stop making them. No one wants them.
