Mrglglglgglgl!
This month I went with something a lot more fragile to reach LEGEND. For April 2021, Season 84, I ran two iterations of this Murloc Shaman deck (this one being the most concrete form of it) with an overall record of 39-24 with roughly a 62% winrate.
My Match-up Stats
Demon Hunter: 3-2
Druid: 3-0
Hunter: 3-2
Mage: 8-6
Paladin: 8-4
Priest: 2-3
Rogue: 0-1
Shaman: 5-4
Warlock: 4-1
Warrior: 3-1
Overall Game Plan
This is a high-synergy deck with a relationship between nearly every card in it. Tribal decks like this one can be very fun, but also rewarding to play. As Murlocs do, we want to flood the board early and efficiently with stats while keeping in mind that we have some burst and buffs at our disposal as well. Our main goal is to stick some early minions, such as Murloc Tidecaller, Crabrider (for buffs) or Underbelly Angler, and further our board while either killing our opponent's minions or recklessly smashing face.
Mulligans
Generally, we're looking for Murloc Tidecaller, Spawnpool Forager, Murmy, Underbelly Angler, Crabrider, Sir Finley Mrrgglton, South Coast Chieftain, and Rockpool Hunter. On The Coin, I think it's acceptable to keep a single Murloc Warleader or our lone Coldlight Seer.
Specific Mulligans
Against other fast decks, we definitely want Firemancer Flurgl, Toxfin, and Lushwater Scout cards. These will help us in taking down our opponents' minions while keeping our board. Crabrider and South Coast Chieftain also help us with this, but we generally want those in our opening hand anyways.
Against slow decks I always kept Ice Fishing.
Murloc Tinyfin is absolutely not a keep all the time. We want to use it in tandem with something like Murloc Tidecaller or Underbelly Angler or something that gives us more stats. More often than not, this card serves the purpose of fodder or just an activation for our other cards to work off.
Card Substitutions
- Coldlight Seer may be swapped out for either a second copy of Ice Fishing or Toxfin. Gentle Megasaur may also work in this slot as well.
Finley's Hero Powers
Sir Finley Mrrgglton obviously has a strong place in this deck. Not only is it early game with 3 health as a Murloc, it also can change our Hero Power into something better. The best Hero Powers we can change into are Demon Claws, Life Tap, Steady Shot and Fireblast in that order.
Thank you for playing this deck on stream, Kremepuff! He played this deck around 300 Legend. You can find Kremepuff's content here at: https://www.twitch.tv/kremepuff
Reached legend today with this deck. Went all the way from bronze to legend. Till diamond 4 it was prettx much an 75% wr, didnt counted the wins and losses since I didnt thought this deck would be so fun. I played with only firemancer flurgl as a legendary so my deck missed sir finley and old murk eye. I replaced murk eye with leroy jenkins which I needed in like 3 games to win so he was pretty useless.
OP combo is firemancer plus the poison murloc. firemamcers damage becomes poisonous and clears the whole board of the enemy. I learned that in a mirror-match xD
Hahaha funny because that's how I learned it
omg this deck was close to unbeatable already before i knew that :D (i played it from bronze to plat1)
Gonna test the deck out now, always liked Murloc Shaman, let's hope for some good games :)

Just went 6-1 with this in ranked. Was a lot of fun. Commenting again because super enjoyable deck. Runs out of steam if they clear board more than twice (only loss was to control warlock who zephyr into 3 mama board clear then raised dead and zephyr into holy nova). Regardless shit happens. Still awesome deck!
Thank you! 😊
Updating, I'm now legend. Your deck is the BOMB!
Awesome! I'm so happy for you. Congrats friend :D
I just finished on a roll achievement with this deck 13-0 I'm now diamond 5
Steam rolling the ladder
thank you for the deck, man!!!
What do you think about some removals for the deck? I've found myself having zero cards in hand (or none useful) and zero chance of drawing... I love the deck and it has been working amazing (most of the times) but sometimes I found that it needs a removal(s)
What do you think?
We need to fight for board most of the time, but if you are ahead by a longshot, then smashing the enemy Hero is definitely the move. At the moment, I would recommend just trying to analyze when you are ahead and consider maybe not trading as much as what I believe you are.
thanks man... also, not a single win against spell damage... I'm like 0-5 at the moment... so sad :(
This deck is the shit! It's like a hot knife cutting through butter. Started at Bronze 10 and I have 21-3. Awesome! Brought back the fun to the game!
I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying it! That makes me very happy. :D
hi there, any replacement for Firemancer Flurgl ?
thanks
I personally believe Firemancer Flurgl is core to the deck's identity and play. If, however, you must really cut it or just ditch it, you could maybe run Lushwater Murcenary in its place. Of course, this will be far less powerful.
Hope this helps somewhat.
