my inital thought on his comment was that he was sarcastic or jebaiting for hate xD
tfw shaman with no overload
Quest shaman is worse than non-quest murloc shaman in the first place. The aggro quests will never be good, as they force agressive decks to do nothing on one. Non-quest shaman will be absurdly good if they release a 1-drop murloc for shaman.
why cost 2 if Sense Demons cost 3? oh, right, old obsolet cards...
Because demons are more powerful than lowcost murlocs?
It is actualy 1 card, since u are giving away one to use that effect.
it's still 2 cards, (you're still thinning the by 2 cards and granting you important draws later)
I say the same about arcane intellect aswell, both cards are +1.
Mrglll, Argllll,Lllarlll, Make Unite the Murlocs great again
This card can be played out of full Murloc decks, where it is obviously of huge value.
Yet, its value is suboptimal for freeze package only.
And if you try to mix Freeze and Finja packages, you have chances to waste Finja's summoning AND Brrloc's freeze.
All in all, despite all the new freeze cards, I'm afraid only evolve/dk and murloc shamans will be meta, and probably high tier.
Let's hope at least one ofthe 3 cards left will make Freeze package a serious business.
actually in freeze deck you can put 2 copy of this card without more than 4 murloc in deck.
Hydrologist Discovers, therefore you get to choose AND you GENERATE resources. Often you pick Kodo and get to play this card again = Value.
This card draws from your deck. You thin out your answers later in the game. I'd go for 4: Discover 2 murlocs over 2: Draw 2 murlocs even if I know which murlocs I'm going to draw any day.
I don't think it needs explaining, it is one of those sick jokes that Blizzard likes to play on everyone, they keep giving Shaman murloc cards but then give actually strong cards to Paladin (easy examples are Everyfin is Awesome vs Anyfin Can Happen FFS or Murloc Knight vs Siltfin Spiritwalker not to even mention Hydrologist which is a must include in any control deck because it gives you early control and value.)
Wish it would give you the 0 1/1 murloc if it whiffs. The new penguin can't have all the cute-but-still-meta-card-attention.
combining this with the Freeze Murloc could actually help Quest Shaman a lot. The main weakness of that deck was having basically no defense or card draw adn oping you can snowball until Megafin which you can then use to close out the deal.
Happy they are giving more stuff to Murloc Shammy
You just got to love the Artwork. :)
Sooo, will you get 2 Murloc Tinyfins if you have no Murlocs in the deck?
WIll this give you 1/1 murlocs like Sense Demons
Probably not, that would be too good.
on the card it should also say: "50% chance to add a Bearshark to your hand."
People don't play shaman quest because it's useless.
One of the problems is the fact that Murlocs are soo agro or possibly midrange, while if you play the quest, you skip your turn 1. Let me say that again: You skip turn 1. This is quite hard to recover from if your opponent is also playing aggro/midrange, and especially if you are playing a lot of murlocs to finish the quest early. Thus it has not become a thing in the current meta where we have both strong early paladins, mages and shamans who all can take a very large advantage if you skip turn 1.
