It amazes me that Blizzard keeps shoving the shitty murloc tribe onto shaman every few expansions.  They don't know what to do with shaman so they get lazy and print some shitty murloc cards.  It's never been good.  It's never been competitive.  The gameplay is extremely linear and gets blown out by AoE.  And what is really annoying is that Paladin gets the really good murloc cards even though it doesn't seem to be a theme of the class, unlike shaman.  

 

What a terrible card.  Literally reads Battlecry: Make your hand worse by removing spells you specifically wanted and replace them with random clown fiesta trash.

If they keep pushing these kind of heavy control decks why is Jade Idol still not nerfed? This and Dead Man's Hand just cannot compete with GROWING INFINITE VALUE for 1 MANA.

Crazy effect but terrible card.  Copying your opponents deck and destroying your deck synergy will lose you games ten times more often than adding 15-20 cards to your deck will save you in a rare fatigue match.

Too slow. It'll give your opponent the chance to kill or even silence the minion before your turn starts. Mind Control is just outright better. 

And... the card you just listed also costs 4 more mana.

 

This card is good since priest can quite reliably make this card cost 4-5 mana without being really in fear of losing their Radiant Elemental. In an expansion where Deathrattles are important, this card is good since you don't exactly want to silence your own stuff and the idea of 'they can just trade it away' ... well, then you probably used the card very badly if you allow 'em to do that.

 

Is it 'brilliant'? Nah', but its damn good because its a Mindcontrol for 4 mana less in addition to Radiant Elemental reducing it further!

People are so mad about a card that won't even see play.  Most good decks have multiple 'win conditions' and your chances of actually encountering a deck with limited conditions AND burning exactly the specific card you need to are nowhere near good enough to be running a blank 2/3 over the dozens of other actually consistently overpowered 2drops.  The chances of this card actually impacting a match in any tangible way are so absurdly low and not worth playing a river crocolisk.

Cards that generate random cards are far more prevalent, wide spread, and cancerous to the game.  Go complain about those.  This card is absolutely nothing compared to how terrible those are for the game.

People in general enjoy clicking down or hating things far more than being agreeable.

People are so butthurt about this  card but noones even going to play it.  Taking a crazy ass super low percentage dice roll to MAYBE burn an important card isn't worth playing a blank 2/3 when there are dozens of actually broken 2 drops in the game.  This card is irrelevant and won't be played.

"Entire mission design team"... All two of them... that would explain some things...

Seems really terrible.

Damn, a really good use for Treachery.

Or you could just silence this.

another gimmicky rogue card. Nothing new under the sun. 

On a side note, did they really learn nothing from Renounce Darkness ?

Funniest shit is that they mention the neutral version of Gadgetzan Ferryman instead of the class card, loooooooooool.

This card is at best comparable to Dark Wispers and on average worse due to the lack of options, and that card wouldn't be played even if it was neutral.  This card sucks, really.  Cheap/Weak AoEs will make a big comeback anyway because of all the spawn-another-thing deathrattle minions that are leaving the meta forever.

I'm glad Old Murk-Eye isn't in standard, but I wish the way of obtaining him remained the same.
