Murloc Spellcaster? They've Tried It!
Gibesmone on reddit asked why we haven't seen a Murloc, named Murrlin of all things, that increases your Spell Damage. Mike Donais saves the day with an answer, though it does seem like the same one we saw with Patches the Pirate.
Sometimes these crazy things do end up in the game...
How would you feel about a Murloc minion with Spell Power? What kind of stats would be on it?
Quote from Mike DonaisI have certainly [pitched] Murrlin as a spellcaster murloc in the past. So far he hasn't made it all the way through the design process though. For good reasons :)
And More!
While we're on the topic of Murrlin, these were some other great Murloc ideas from the community. Post your own below!
- /u/Entar - Murloc Holmes: Removes stealth, or adds your opponent's secrets to your hand, or something of that nature.
- /u/Naly_D - Mrrmrr: Silence.
- /u/Naly_D - Admrrgl Jones: Buffs Silver Hand Murlocs.
- /u/Naly_D - Mrrage: Can't be targeted by spells or hero powers.
- /u/kingguy459 - Can Murrlin have his knight-king too? King Murrthur PenDragLock?
- Sir Mrrnclot, Sir Mrrwain, Sir Tristglr, Sir Mrrgldred, Sir MGrrlahad, Sir Mggrlcival, Sir Mglrdivere
- /u/Deathvapor22 adds in: King Murrthur with "Inspire: summon a Murknight of the round table"
- /u/darkastlemaster - Epic, 10 cost 5/5, +5 spell damage, draw 5 murlocs, restore 5 health.
- /u/cuddlewumpus thinks it should be called Mrrltimate Finfestation

Posted Oct 2, 2017 (Evergreen Nerfs)I've also thought about a murloc with spell damage. It would be crazy considering the amount of board control that could go into the game. I think it would really compliment cards like Corrupted Seer, Coldlight Seer, and Gentle Megasaur and change murloc strategies to better focus on staying on the board. Now that more people play murloc decks, people are better prepared to rip them off the field, so being able to regain board control and limit resistance could be interesting. Of course the major complaint I could see against that would be that popular murloc strategies tend to win fast anyway. Still I think that without a need for speed and being able to invest in keeping murlocs on the board (because of spell damage), we might be able to see slower games. Maybe not, but who knows. It might also make murlocs more flexible instead of pretty much only being played by shamans and paladins. Seeing a mage deck with Brrrloc and a spell damage murloc could be cool, too bad it's a shaman class card.
Added: Also really like the suggested cards

Posted Oct 2, 2017 (Evergreen Nerfs)How about Mrrranha Launcher? 5 man 2/4 weapon that summons a 1/1 murloc whenever it attacks

Posted Sep 29, 2017 (Evergreen Nerfs)Given the crap the "design process" has produced I can't even begin to speculate why a Murloc with spellpower wouldn't survive it.

Posted Sep 29, 2017 (Evergreen Nerfs)"mrrgll mrgll" seriously.. I'm tired of this op mechanic that works in any class. How does people can continue to want new murlocs after all these years of hearthstone? It's over, it's not fun anymore

Posted Sep 29, 2017 (Evergreen Nerfs)What's the reference with Murrlin? I googled it, expecting some obscure Warcraft character, like a Murloc with a wizard hat and a staff or something, and I instantly regretted it.
