Yeah I don't like the existing Murloc Cards for Shaman, so I decided to make this version
The deck aims to take advantage of the anti-aggro nature of existing Shaman spells such as Azsharan Scroll and Scalding Geyser. This then allows us to play some extra Naga like Baroness Vashj and Queen Azshara , and then actually draw them in a 40 card deck via Crushclaw Enforcer.
We also run Coral Keeper as a strong alternate 5 drop incase you draw only the spell side of your deck. Ive also included solid disruption in the form of Theotar, the Mad Duke, Mutanus the Devourer and Blademaster Okani
As a small bonus, the Naga in this list tend to be solid evolve targets, especially Coral Keeper and Queen Azshara, making your Primordial Wave and Muck Pools feel pretty OK if you don't hit Gnoll. I kept in Theotar after the nerf because the mana increase is actually a minor buff when it comes to evolving him. Makes the hit a bit more bearable.
Top end has standard control shaman INFUSE stuff : Insatiable Devourer + Sylvanas, the Accused + Sire Denathrius

Posted Oct 10, 2022 (Castle Nathria Druid & Mage Nerfs)Nice idea, will definitely try this today.
BTW what do you typically want to pick with Queen?
PS: BTW the reason you would run at least some murloc package is to draw into mutanus and discount. I cut down the murlocs in my version to make this more reliable. I find making huge minions with Mutanus then copying with parrots is really one of the strongest things the deck does.

Posted Oct 10, 2022 (Castle Nathria Druid & Mage Nerfs)Yeah the discounted Mutanis is really nice. I personally was facing so many aggressive decks where that was just too slow, I wanted to try something different.
TBH, the trim murloc package is probably better, but with this deck I usually look to use parrot for more midgame plays/disruption, such as copying a wide board from coral keeper or stealing a 2nd minion with Sylvanas/Okani Shenanigans. On occasion you can get an extra Queen Relic too, which can be super fun. I end up playing a bit more tempo based strat with this deck instead of a traditional control strat.
And Vashj/Queen both great evolve targets (as is Coral Keeper)
With Queen, Id say its Horn 70% of the time, with an occasional Xalatath or Tidestone.
