Why Murlocs are not good in constructed

Don’t worry, I pretty much suck at this game so even if we do run into each other you’ll stomp me hard.

Oh please, you’d have to have the IQ of a goldfish to suck at using murlocs.

My IQ is somewhere in the neighborhood of drunk amoeba. I’m barely coherent and walk into walls quite often.

I once slammed my head into a wall after trying to jump onto my bed.

LOLOL :rofl: :joy:
Very murloc of you! :wink: :smiley:

Murlocs are also not terrible. A murloc shaman, with Galakrond, can get to Silver 5. They are occasionally good, but not often enough to reach the golden land, yet.

Murloc Shaman is actually not that straightforward to play in certain matchups. You utilise Underbelly Angler and Soul of the Murloc to stick onto the board and still have resources in hand, where potentially a massive Scargill turn will seal the deal. Storm’s Wrath can also be pretty good here as well.

If Murloc decks to you are just, play everything because it’s green, then you’re going to have a hard time when you find your hand empty and you don’t have a board.

In Wild, Rockpool Hunter and Gentle Megasaur provide extra buffs compared to what’s currently in Standard - Murloc decks need buffs, and those 2 cards alone put Murloc decks in Wild on another level compared to Standard.

What do you think shaman is?

I pulled Murgurgl, this might be something I end up playing

Although they started with the Shaman class rather than the Paladin class so your logic is flawed. In wild play a murloc Shaman beats a murloc Paladin and thats how it should be.

Paladin would be a much better class if they deleted all their murlocs and just left the murlocs to Shaman. Nobody wanted Murgurgle, nobody asked for Murgurgle, we were all disappointed when we saw Murgurgle.

Edit: Yes, I am a bit salty about the fact that a murloc (a random murloc that has nothing to do with any of the TBC lore as well) is the Paladin Prime.

I did as well! :slight_smile: I’m also gonna try out pure pally but I’m kinda worried about their 1 drops. Not sure Brazen Zealot is gonna be enough
May your decks serve you well in this upcoming expac! Murlocs Ho!

How does that work? No part of my logic was based on which class received the murloc tribe first. My position is that a tribe as varied and present in multiple classes as Murlocs shouldn’t be focused in a class like Shaman when it already has its identity cemented in two other tribes (one of which is exclusive to Shaman). If any class deserves to have a Murloc theme it should be one of the ones without a tribal focus rather than one that has two.

idk… it’s not a problem but it just makes zero sense to me from an identity / lore standpoint. I can see them in classes that deal with creatures in some way - shaman, warlocks, hunter, druid… but def not paladin.

Murloc Warlock is actually working better than Murloc Shaman for me now since Galakrond minions and the Warlock ability give me good card draw. In Paladin, just think of murlocs as silver hand recruits with better stats and abilities.

How dare YOU?

P.S. You know that you look pretty fishy yourself? You could be one of us! :stuck_out_tongue:

In wild murlocs are pretty good

This list is fun to play and I’m having success with it.

I think the biggest problem is if you run into a secret mage that runs plays counterspells into your big spell, that hurts.

Murlocs aren’t a race. They’re a disgrace.

The best part? This rhymes.

Short answer is Murlocs are fair and then we had Year of the Dragon. Fair is now garbage tier thanks to power creep.

Might as well ask the sun how it dares to rise - 'this the way of the universe.

Indeed it does. That’s slogan material, right there. The best.

You know why I’m capable of such linguistic mastery? Because I’m not a filthy Murloc.
