Oooh, I'm really digging that confirmed name! :D
Its a not Chinese,its Taiwanese.
I really don't understand...
Warlocks haven't been centered around Murlocs since beta (and it sucked even then). Now they give a 4 mana 4/2 shit body with a crappy BC. Why on earth would any aggressive Warlock choose Murlocs over a typical Zoo list? Granted, there may be another release (maybe even the Warlock legendary?) that makes this halfway decent, but it would take a severely broken Murloc to make this card playable. Now, if this was a 4/4 then we might have something, as that would be a Murloc with an already healthy body. As it is though, this is SEVERELY disappointing, especially to a player whose favorite class is Warlock AND JUST WANTS SOME CONTROL CARDS. Also, the other two Kabal classes don't have Murlocs, so there's no cross-class synergy with this guy either. DAFAWQ BLEZZERD
Maybe they are giving a murloc to each family?
Warlock was the de facto murloc class before GvG due to his Hero Power allowing him to dump 2 murlocs per turn.
Shaman got Siltfin Spiritwalker and Neptulon in GvG and Everyfin is Awesome.
Paladin has Vilefin Inquisitor, Murloc Knight and Anyfin Can Happen.
Now Paladin got Grimscale Chum, Warlock gets Seadevil Stinger and maybe one or two more, and we still dont know any Shaman class card so he might get 1 or 2 as well.
Would you rather Mage or Priest was the Kabal murloc specialist?
Have you even heard of psychographic profiles in MtG? Not all cards are for Spikes.
i feel like this should have been a 3/4 or a 4/3
The Murloc Warlock will rise once more... good old beta memories
Do you mean the Murlock?
OMG WaRLOCK AS mURLOC rACE cLASS FOR wOw CONDIRMED O.o
otherwise worst stats ingame, wont see play
Who came up with this s*it? I do not understand what id*o*s are making the HS cards.
Sure, the whole game should be designed around you Spike players.
Sorry but there's a different thing going on here. Sure Spike likes winning cards and Johnny likes cards that require work to get to full bloom. There's not really a reason a card cannot appeal to both of them, or neither of them.
If the card is good enough, Spike will like it regardless of having to make it work. If its bad enough Johnny wont like it because there's no way it will ever bloom. Both might still be the case, depending on whether more murloc synergy gets released for warlock.
Johnny shouldnt like it right now anyway, because there is no support (in warlock) for the card, so there is no synergy to build around. (apart from Finja maybe, who seems to have more support/synergy in Paladin for Johnny)
Also, Crovax states he's looking for control cards - he could be anything, Spike, Timmy, Johnny, some shade of Vorthos, all we know is that he's likely to like games going longer, and to play more reactively. Dwight tells you even less, he just doesnt understand who came up with this. For all you know he simply didnt want a lone murloc in warlock or something.
I dare you to replace any card in your average Zoo deck and find a place for this card. I would have to be a completely different kind of zoo or strategy perhaps based on buffing your smaller minions and not just flood the board. Warlock has almost no cards revealed yet so it is too soon to know. That being said, this card has zero synergy with the only other revealed card, the Abyssal Enforcer, which is in fact more of a control card.
Oh shit, I'm so tired of against Murloc deck and Murloc deck every third game! I can't see that Bluegill Warrior's Face no more! ESPECIALLY warlock Murloc, it's probably played by 40% of the ladder! Blizzard should be nerfing Murlocs, not adding more to the broken, counterless decks we have!
Don't underestimate this card. Warlock has always been the best class for a zoo type murloc deck. And while I still don't think the deck is there yet, if we get 2-3 more strong murlocs, murloc zoo will be a thing and this will be An important part of it. An agro murloc list really wants to dump hand and get the large tempo lead so it can snowball with its buffs. This plus murloc warleader or Finja can create the tempo burst that a murloc deck can use to finish the game. This deck is really close from being strong, it just needs a few more cards
Part of the reason why Pit Lord isn't played is that it would be one of the very very few Zoo cards to be able to eat big removal without it being a total loss of time and mana ; A mage won't spend their Polymorph on your 1-3 or 2-3, but on a 5-6 ? Yes, and you could very easily lose the game on that, as it hits exactly during the turns when you're starting to lose usually.
But on 2 bodies ? Now that's a different story.
Murlock incoming...
In the next adventure, Rogueloc to become a thing?
