After new Murlocs got introduced, mainly Underbelly Angler and Scargil as well as Sludge Slurper Murloc Shaman looked like it could be a real thing and well, the first play with this deck was an insane run. Having a curve that looks like Murloc Tidecaller into Rockpool Hunter and than a Murloc Warleader just stomps current decks and a Maelstrom Portal is great against other Token decks like Zoo, Odd Paladin and Token Druid. To say it once, just because we had a good run does not mean that this is a Tier 1 deck. Luck is always a factor and opponents drawing a bad hand or having patches on turn 1 into Hero Power on turn 2 would probably end up in a win for us regardless of the deck we play

Do not expect to win every game and keep in mind that this being a fairly new deck people not just mulligan against other Shaman decks which gives you an advantage, they also use their removal and AOE wrong most of the time. The only decision you have to make is whether to run the quest or not and I personally think that Underbelly Angler provides enough value to not get -1 card in the opener

First off, No Quest Unite the Murlocs

While the reward refills your hand and gives you a gigantic swing turn you lose the early game when playing it. You have -1 card in your opening hand and have to invest the whole first turn to play it which usually results in you falling behind on board

2x Sludge Slurper

While the stats are good for a 1 drop and the effect gives you a Lackey, you overload for 1. It might not seem like much but if you high roll the lackey the game can turn to your favor. At the same time your next turn is less powerful though. Might become a Murloc Tinyfin for the Underbelly Angler soon

2x Ice Fishing

2 mana draw 2 cards that you usually can play the same turn you use this. It is your Arcane Intellect for Murlocs and definitely deserves a spot in this list

2x Call in the Finishers

How do we refill the board with 1 card, well we do play this and Gentle Megasaur as well as Murloc Warleader have great synergy with it. Murloc Tidecaller is happy about the 1/1´s as well

1x Scargil

This is a debate I still have. When he sticks you get lots of value but every single card in your deck besides Old Murk-Eye is 3 mana or less regardless so the effect does not help too much. But at the same time he allows you get 10 mana worth of Mrrgl for just 6, thats value. I will most likely cut him from the deck

For all the Epic and Legendary Cards you might not own, here are the cards I would replace them with. Just to clarify, the deck might be played in a slightly different way when a certain card is missing. For Example going wide on the board for Gentle Megasaur is pointless if you dont include the card

Sir Finley Mrrgglton

While Totems can be nice to clear the board with Maelstrom Portal or Heal your Murlocs back up, Hunter and Warlock just have better Hero Powers. He should become a Murloc Tinyfin to have synergy with the Underbelly Angler and make your day a bit brighter

Murloc Warleader

That is the first one I would highly advise you to craft, it is hard to find a replacement for him but a Flametongue Totem theoretically has the same effect just 3 less attack and only buffs 2 minions at a time..craft the warleader please

Gentle Megasaur

I would say we need some card draw in this if the Megasaur is missing and Storm Chaser allows you to get Everyfin is Awesome and buff your board that way

Old Murk-Eye

He has Charge and goes face, Bluegill Warrior too

Scargil

This would become a second Bloodlust to get that extra burst or a Crackle to aim for the head as soon as possible
