How do you figure that dealing 5 damage is worth 5 mana when you can deal 6 for 4?
Usually every 1 extra damage costs 1 mana, like Moonfire (1 for 0), Arcane Shot/Holy Smite (2 for 1), Lightning Bolt/Quick Shot/Darkbomb (3 for 2), and Shadow Bolt/Stormcrack (4 for 3). A 0-cost card, like Moonfire or 0 1/1, is worth 1 mana, and that's why most spells look like "deal N+1 damage for N mana". Fireball is a spell stronger than regular as well as Fire Elemental. Most other spells and minions follow the rule above.
If you want to combine effects from two cards into one, you would probably want it to cost 1 more because you save 1 card.
If you still don't understand, ask yourself these questions: 1) Why does a 2/3 Razorfen Hunter cost 3 mana when you can summon a 2/3 for 2 and an 1/1 for 0? 2) How do you figure that Fireball is worth 4 mana when you can deal as many Moonfire for 0?
Bomb squad it's firelands portal nerf, oh, yeah!
assuming things are going well you already have murlocs on the board by turn 4, and if you play this + cold light seer now you have a beefy murloc board, possibly into a finja on turn 5 or a warleader+ another murloc to bolster the board more and trade up. i think its actually doable. not as good as zoo, but a fun alternative. unless we see a huge murloc released, then this thing is insane
please no filling card this just for fun not competitive
Blizzard fail!! This card should have been called Cho'Gill
Between this and Finja, I'm half expecting there to be a beefy Murloc awaiting us. I hope. I feel like they could get away with it now, since Murloc Knight is leaving soon, and they diluted the Murloc pool with more 1 health guys this set so it's unlikely to be as ridiculous as Tuskarr Totemic was .
Also @ "they're screwing over warlock" this is literally the second Warlock card revealed so far omg. Making Infest didn't suddenly change how good Call of the Wild made Hunter. Some people get more enjoyment out of playing fun combo pieces than grinding up the ladder with meta decks.
Probably meant to be played alongside Coldlight Seer or Murloc Warleader. Those are the best options to keep it alive while putting another body on the board or maybe we'll get another Murloc that can be played with it?
One of the worst cards so far. Nearly Purify value.
It's not like you're going to combo it with Corrupted Seer. Most murlocs cost 1-3 mana. Although, true value would come from playing Murloc Tinyfin after this one.
WAASUUUUUP!
There are two main reasons I don't like Warlock getting Zoolock tools: first, the buff an already viable archetype and eat space from control tools or flavourful cards with drawbacks. Second, while Zoolock was an interesting deck built on synergies before WotOG, we've had some bad experiences such as Darkshire Councilman that make Zoolock more boring and oversimplify its gameplan to just flooding the board.
However, this is very interesting card and a step in the right direction. While I'd prefer a little bit buff based Zoo, Murlock is certainly more interesting than the current versions.
Loclock™
Why did nobody realize that before? (┛ಸ_ಸ)┛彡┻━┻ We've wasted years calling it Murlock!
Rip Warlock murloc. I really liked that name.
I don't get it. Paladin has been the class with the Murloc synergy. Hmm guess I'll wait and see if there are other cards there to support this. Not seeing it atm.
You can play this, into another one of these, into another murloc. If it is Coldlight Seer, You get 10/11 worth of stats for 4 mana and 7 life.
With Warlock owning Murlocs, now each Gang owns a class with Murlocs (Paladin, Shaman, Warlock all belong to different gangs)
