Boss Overview
Giantfin Boss Guide is the second boss in the The Ruined City wing of the The League of Explorers adventure.
Mrglglglgl! Giantfin is a Giant Murloc! His hero power is a Murloc-flavored Divine Favor, but costs 0 mana to play. This could be used to your advantage by forcing him into fatigue fairly quickly, but Murlocs do have some pretty good synergy so things could get tough. On Heroic difficulty though, he will only draw 2 cards - how unfortunate.
- Normal Hero Power: Mrglmrgl MRGL!
- Normal: Mrgl Mrgl Nyah Nyah
- Heroic Hero Power: Mrglmrgl MRGL!
- Heroic: Mrgl Mrgl Nyah Nyah
Pro Tips and Strategy
- Mrglglgl MRGL! Hungry Crab is useful for the first time ever.
- Looks like board control is a theme in this week's wing, you're going to want to eliminate the Murlocs as quickly as possible.
- He draws 2 cards per turn, and has 50 cards in his deck, so don't expect to mill him any time soon.
- Turn 2 Doomsayer.
- He will not summon new Murlocs if you have Baron Geddon out. He will however use his spell to resummon Murlocs.

Posted Apr 20, 2021 (Forged in the Barrens)Did this recently and found it easiest with my warrior deck. It could be because I've used my warrior cards more. The main help in the deck was Tentacle of N'Zoth, Whirlwind and Grim Patron who populated like a champion. =) I had Baron Geddon in my deck, but never had to reach for him because the Grim Patrons kept populating.
This is the deck I used

Posted Aug 3, 2016 (Old Gods)It took so many tries, but this was the best deck to use.

The match went to fatigue. Try and use frost nova when his board is full so he can't put more crap on the board.

Posted Dec 14, 2015 (Explorers)Why do none of these decks useOld Murk-Eye? he gets an attack bonus from the opposing murlocs, a 9/4 with charge is a great finisher!

Posted Dec 22, 2015 (Explorers)I threw Old Murk-Eye in the face hunter deck that was recommended. Worked amazingly. Nice little easter egg when you play him, too. He's much better than Leeroy Jenkins, though it probably wouldn't hurt to run both, since they are finishers.

Posted Dec 4, 2015 (Explorers)For some reason he wouldn't play any more murlocs or even any spells when Baron Geddon is down. Get your baron on the board and it's a win.

Posted Dec 3, 2015 (Explorers)A control hunter deck did the trick for me in Heroic, first try. It was a bit tricky, I first thought I could mill him with rogue but then I miserably realized he starts with 50 cards.
