Shaman Card Revealed - Plague of Murlocs
PlayHearthstone Twitter just revealed a new Saviors of Uldum card for Shaman: Plague of Murlocs.
This is the third of 4 reveals for community progress in the Blackrock Crash Tavern Brawl.
Update 3:50pm:
The Shackhouse YouTube Channel posted a video with the Plague of Murlocs spell in action. What's more, in the aftermath of the spell you can catch a glimpse of the yet-to-be-revealed Sir Finley. He's a 2 attack, 3 health minion, but with no cost or effect yet revealed.

MURRRRRRGGGGUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLUUURRRRRRGGGGGGG~~~~
Can't think of any better way to describe this than best removal in the game, ever.
Compared to Twisting Nether: 5 mana cheaper, diffuses deathrattles, fucks up the resurrect pool and it's way better when your board is filled with tokens and your opponent has big stuff.
Not even close. Worthless against any aggro/zoo deck since all you would do is pay 3 mana to change their board for a different one. And murlocs tend to have good synergy with one another so really this is pretty much a bad devolve when looking at it from a control tool vs aggro.
Obviously better vs control decks and big minions like you said, but the fact that it's so horrible vs an aggro deck definitely means it's no where near the best removal in the game. That slot might go to earthquake imo.
I see this card being used in some token shaman deck more often to be honest. (Assuming it's even good enough to include).
lol are you for real? Shaman already can shut down aggro deck end of story. It's the late game decks with massive recurring minons that is what they had trouble with once devolve rotated out of the meta. This card fixes that and also punishes anyone that allows the tokens/totems to pile up on board. This card is a win/win in any shaman deck.
@AIM7Sparrow
Ofcourse you're not getting a 3 mana-"fix ANY problem instantly", that doesn't make it even close to being a bad card.
We'll talk again in 2 months. If Shaman will be good overall, I'll guarantee you that this will be an auto include in every tournament.
to all you guys dont you run Zentimo+frog?
No! We we love murlocs, and and we ah want more murlocs. Hey bartender, more murlocs please :). Rip Khadgar and "this is not your home invader" and pogo and many big more, eh eh eh (evil laugh).
This card is awesome. Gonna be good in control shaman and a good counter to Mages and Priests
Looks like "Plagues" are some kind of new versions of "Projects" that affect both players.
Looks very good in control shaman.
RIP Barnes. It was good run xD
In your face big priest !
RIP Big Priest
YES! Need a neutral card though.
Mad Summoner
Yeah a bit but not like this card.
OP. Nothing to add.
Play this against resurrect priests and watch them concede.
