Hi there. 

UkendtKunst here, bringing you another legend guide! 
This time I've been abusing the great amount of hunter and warrior on ladder with this Murloc Shudderwock shaman. I have no statistics on how high my winrate is due to mostly playing on mobile, but I think I got around 70 - 75% winrate. I nearly only faced warrior and mech hunter.

I started at 10 o'clock in the morning and got legend around 14.00 :)

Proff 

The decklist is a bit different than most murloc shamans. It use Belligerent Gnome which is a great anti-aggro card. It also use more token generators and can finish long games with Shudderwock, Hagatha the Witch or Swampqueen Hagatha. I also think it's funnier to play a deck, that is not so widely known. Therefore I present you my guide, and I hope you'll enjoy it. 

Mulligan

Important for the mulligan

I would keep Acidic Swamp Ooze vs rouge. 

When you face warrior, hunter and other classes that don't have removal on turn two. Coin out Underbelly Angler. If it sticks it can win you games pretty easy. 

Playstyle

This is an aggro-deck and should therefore also be played like that. Try to control the board early and then finish with Murloc Warleader or Bloodlust. But the deck actually have a lot of reach. You can do some nice combos. 

Flood the board and Soul of the Murloc. 

Have +7 mana. Play Underbelly Angler + cheap Murlocs to generate a lot of value. 

Have +8 mana. Play Underbelly Angler x2 + cheap Murlocs to generate a lot of new cards. 

Some games you can win by playing Hagatha the Witch and generate a lot of spells, that win you games. So I NEVER SURRENDER when I play this deck. 

Matchups

Control Warrior 60/40 

This matchup is a bit hard, but is favored if you know to play it. You can use two gameplans!

Gameplan 1: If you got a very strong and aggressive mulligan with a strong turn 1, 2, 3 and 4, you can usually overpower them with Bloodlust or Murloc Warleader. 

Gameplan 2: If you got a bit slower start, you'll have to try to outvalue them and bait out their removal cards with Soul of the Murloc. Usually you want to get more than 3 cards generated with Underbelly Angler. When they burn their removal just flood the board and end them with Bloodlust and Murloc Warleader. 

Bomb Warrior 65/35

All of the above is basicly the same, but i usually use gameplan 1 in this matchup. 

Zoo 30/70

This matchup is hard. They usually get a better start than you. You can sometimes win if they play slow and you get your early drops - but in general it's a very hard matchup.

Khadgar control mage 85/15

Easy matchup. Just mulligan for your early minions and hit his face. It can be helpful to keep Toxfin.

Spell Giant Mage 60/40

 

This is a tricky one. They can sometimes get immense tempo and overwhelm you, but if they don't get a strong start, you can win the matchup. The biggest problem is the large amount fast cheap removal they got. Mulligan for your early minions and try to kill them fast. Try to keep Toxfin to kill off their giants. 

Tempo 40/60

This is just a very hard matchup. It's very depend on who gets the best start. Try to out-tempo him and hit face ALOT. If you don't kill him fast, he will kill you. The best way to learn the matchup is by playing it - and if he gets the nuts, you just can't do anything. But try to get your 1 and 2 drops, so you can try to out-tempo him. 

Immortal 85/15 

Just go face. You win :)

Murloc 45/55

Mrglmrglmrgl. If you face a more aggressive version than this one, it's all about the mulligan. 

Control 75/25

Just go face. Play around Hex.

Mech 80/20

This list smash mech hunters. Get your early cards and just keep the board, go face and end the game. If they don't get their 1 drops, they can't really do anything at all. 

Token 35/65 

It's a lot about luck. Mulligan hard for early minions and try to clean their board. But sometimes they just win. If you can stall them long enough you can sometimes Hagatha the Witch and clean their entire board. 

Nomi 80/20

Just build a very strong lead. Only clear their Northshire Cleric, Wild Pyromancer, Acolyte of Pain and Gadgetzan Auctioneer.  Kill them fast with Bloodlust.

Hope you like the deck. If you have any questions, just ask :)
