Well a decent murloc... Not sure what murloc shaman looks like after rotation though, but in wild it is ok

Better than it looks, but not quite good enough. The body isn't strong enough and the effect us tied to a specific tribe type, which makes this a far weaker skipper. It could work in parts of some decks but it's definitely not the proper finisher for shaman. Likely to be forgotten next expansion

This looks strong. Its effect can hit face, so you can chip away at your opponent's health which is huge for Murloc/aggro decks. Reminds me of Altruis the Outcast.

Will be really powerfull with Scargill and the 2/3 murloc generator I wild

Definitely a staple in future Murloc decks. Would be absolutely bonkers with the RoS Murloc package (Toxfin, Underbelly Angler), so it'll be interesting to see what new age Murloc Shaman will look like since Murloc Tinyfin will also be in rotation.

So apparently Shamans now have access to Risky Skipper too. Murloc Shaman is going to be a thing again.

Same, this is an easy 5 star in my book.

I don't know if murlocs are quite there yet. But still this will be a good card if they are. Big push in the right direction.

Also I love the art. It's like he's showing a lighter to children for the first time. Love that orange one out back just hypnotized.

Uh oh!

A murloc version of Altruis

I hope everyone is ready to bow down to your new murloc shaman overlords.

Very good for early board control, I think murloc shammy will be back in standard this year

Good point, what does it look like after rotation. Most of the murlocs are from the classic or basic, but as they are introducing the new core set, it is subject to lots of change

Not sure why the Risky Skipper comparisons. This guy doesn't kill your own board -- that's all the difference in the world.

Murlocs ... are going to be a problem. At least Flurgl is a legendary. As long as there's no way to tutor him, their ability to clear boards will be somewhat inconsistent.

I see this as a Shaman version of Risky Skipper. For Warrior, it's often favorable to damage your own board too, but for Shaman it is not. That's why the Shaman version of Risky Skipper would not damage your own board, hence the comparison.

goes face! xD

Murloc AoE :D

Oh yeah, another great Murloc for shaman)

even more love to murlocs , if they can now add a generator of murlocs, that archetype could actually work

I can hear the Murloc song playing.

It would've been already strong if it was only enemy minions. On top of that, it goes face.

Clear the enemy's board while building your board? Sign me up.

Definitely an interesting legendary, but difficult to evaluate as we've hardly had much murlocs support since RoS. Least there's Magicfin that can potentially generate another Flurgl, chance would be higher with the smaller card pool but still very inconsistent

This is going to be in all wild murloc decks 

Early AoE, imagine with bloom and token druid is done in first turn after a full board of Gibberlings.

5 Stars

Strong card. If you can generate more kind op..

I mean it might see use as a solid stat murloc that just does some powerful stuff when it needs to, but that is about it. Its an okay card in a deck if that deck is already strong.

As written above, this is like Altruis

MRRGLGLRGRLRLGLR! So you're saying I can randomly generate this card now? *unzips*

All else aside, this is an easy five star card. It's a card that swings games against similar tempo-based decks. If one assumes that Murloc Shaman can beat slower strategies, this will ensure that it also stays premium in its own archetype bucket. I just wish we had Ice Fishing...

That all said, there's no support for Murloc Shaman in Standard at the moment. Crabrider, Felfin Navigator, and Circus Amalgam are all strong expansion cards, and Core holds Coldlight Oracle, Murloc Tidecaller, Murloc Tinyfin, and the new Bluegill Warrior... but I don't see it. The 2-3 mana boardmeat that you stick to buff is missing, and Bloodlust or Murloc Warleader aren't there anymore to fuel your push. Maybe Flametongue Totem, or a whole totem/murloc archetype using Mana Tide Totem and the Amalgam?

That card is the shaman version of Altruis the Outcast, that's better comparison IMO. Legendary card that deal 1 damage to all enemies when plays certain cards.

This seems much stronger than Altruis the Outcast and we know how that went...

*Breathing heavily*

Well that's the Murloc Shaman support I was looking for! 

Auto add to my wild murloc deck.

Will it work with summons murloc not just played?Invalid Deck ID

hey it's Altruis the Outcast the murloc edition! This already seems REALLY good, BUT it will need some more support because RoS is rotating. This means shaman won't have acces to 2/3 infinite murloc generator. I'm very curious as what the new murloc shaman will look like, because Firemancer Flurgl seems solid in both aggresive decks, but MAYBE if it gets some slower murloc support it might even show up on some control/midrange lists.

Murloc Altruis. Better in wild, will be fun to see

In Wild: Play this, play Toxfin => Board cleared.

In Standard: I don't  know how many Murlocs you could play. To make the huge turn you have to keep some Murlocs in Hand or have a possibility to tutor or generate a bunch of them. Normally you want to play them on curve.

Oh boy murlocs has finally an aoe effect .Now we need something to generate some tokens in hand again maybe some 1/1 murlocs when a murloc dies .I like this one and in wild it can be fun in standard we have to see.

What a show-off, only ever using magic when his peers watch! 

This makes we want to try murloc shaman in wild, and I will!

Well - Murloc Shaman Comeback ?? Could be! This is pretty good!

5 star murloc

Looks decent on paper, not super strong

murloc decks are back

This is my new bae and no one is going to stop me from marrying him.

NO

Be prepared to see murlocs all over the place again. Not a fan lol

nonono i dont want murloc shaman

Seeing how much of a dickhead Altruis is, I doubt this won't see play.

Granted, DH had more ways of making cards cost 0, but this can be enough to swing boards in your favour which is all that Murlocs need anyways

I guess this could be good, depends on the other Murlocs. 

Murloc support is always welcome!! Need more murlocs! Mrglglglgllgl!

The main issue here is filling your side of the board so until you clean it (maybe with more Murlocs with rush/charge?) you have a cap on 6 damage. Anyway is a strong way to do some aoe and filling your side of the board having a huge comeback if the game is going hard for you.

Also the sinergy with Toxfin is op.

3 mana full clear with Toxifin in Wild. Almost rivals Hysteria xD

As a big fan of murlocs and playing them every expansions, I can say that a 2/3 for 2 is a great addition for murlocs and will be auto include. That say, the effect is not insane if murloc is still an aggro thing. I always win/lose my games at 7 mana. This card might be a finisher especially if we run the murloc for 0 manas. It can also damage taunt minions that are in our way. BUT the real use for me will be against another aggro deck. You play it and destroy the opponent minions by doing 2 or 3 damage to all the board.

There also is a small possibility that murlocs become a tempo deck, it was already the case in paladin with the dragon package. We'll have to wait but, when blizzard does add a murloc synergy in one class they also add about 2 neutrals murlocs. They also 90% of the time add a murloc with the expansion keyword so I'm looking forward for the frenezy murloc !

Useless without more murloc support

It's lit! 

Its a 2/3 murloc that synergizes with other murlocs. If you're playing a murloc deck chances are good you would need this card solely because its a good 2/3 for 2 murloc.

The description, a mere bonus. If you intend to save up to clear boards with this card I'm afraid you're up for some disappointment, at least until we see something that seriously loads shaman's hand with murlocs.

at some point in time im just going to have to jump on the murloc train. they get so much love

Best card of the new expansion so far, I am really hyped for this one!

Excellent aggro/control tool. Its a really versatile card with just upsides.

Maybe not that fast in aggro, but midrange murloc could become a thing.

Ah yes, the 2/2/3 Murloc at the start of a year that makes Murloc Shaman viable *cough*.

AoE damage that can hit face and minions, while developing your own board sounds great!

This could be interesting. Is your hand going to be big enough to make a significant play? I know with Scargill you'll be able to play out your hand but I don't think you will have any hand generation in standard to support more than one medium sized play to the board. I like the effect but think it will be more of a wild deck component.

Not too good in Standard because pretty much all good Murloc Shaman cards are leaving, but absolutely bonkers in wild. Combine this with Toxfin and you have a 3 mana kill all enemy minions combo, and you can tutor the entire combo with Ice Fishing.

Never underestimate Altruis-like effects. This card is bonkers

Altruis the Outcast has shown how powerful a 1 damage continuous AoE effect can be. That said, he's mostly associated with 0 mana cards discounted by Skull of Gul'dan, of which Murloc Shaman has none. He's also a more mid to late game threat and, at that time, Murloc decks tend to want the game to already be over.

Firemancer Flurgl has good stats and allows you to go face with your murlocs while keeping the opponent's board clear. He can also be the bridge between the early game Murloc aggression and the late game value Magicfin provides. But he's not the make or break card Murloc Shaman needs, especially with Murloc Warleader gone denying a lot of burst.

Also, he's an insane AoE clear in wild with Toxfin.

Pre-nerf Altruis and gives murlocs a chance to clear/steady a board without having to give up it's own board in the process.

The nobrain is strong with this one.

This is a great - the Altruis the Outcast ability is super powerful, and summoning a ton of Murlocs should be pretty easy in Shaman, so I'd expect to see a lot of this.

First I read SUMMON instead of PLAY and I was really scared.

It's a cool card and I like the mechanic, it's not fully aggro since it's better the more late game you play this along other murlocs, so it's dif from other murloc strategies.

That's premium stats with a great effect, though the curve in murloc decks might now always help. I feel like you'll end up dropping it T2 just for it to die sometimes, or draw it later in the game when you've already exhausted your murlocs in hand. Hopefully there's a good way to generate some or draw some.

Murloc Shaman coming strong again! It will be a force to be reckoned with in wild as well!

If a Murlock deck forms this will be one of the center pieces. I see a lot of potential here, also in Wild this can be pretty scary

Very good addition to Murloc archetype, btu mostly for Wild I think.

This basically turns all of your murlocs into Sandstorm Elemental without the Overload. This lets murloc shamans come back after losing the board, which hopefully means they won't have to rely as much on snowballing through the game. I would like to see more cards like this that support a more dynamic murloc strategy.

Decent card

Hmm murlocs are definitely getting some love, I've always enjoyed the archetype and glad they're going a different route with it. (Read NOT TIP THE SCALES)

Art is great effect is great we go murloc shaman again!

This is going to be bringing back the surge for murloc decks all over the place.  The fact that it will ping heroes and minions for each of your cheap murloc's played is just awesome

Murloc rulez

Wild murloc shaman just got stronger.  And this is the type of murloc they needed to add if they want Murloc shaman in standard to come back strong as well.  As seen with Altruis, this type of effect can be great with the right deck behind it...

1 good murloc is not enought

Do you see what must be done?
a nerf

Murloc tribal board clear is a very nice thought, especially for generation. 

It's very powerful in mid-late game if you manage to fill your board with this card is 7 free damage, very dangerous in wild.

Hope it will see play, very interesting concept

Wow! Perfect card

Really high potential

2/3 for 2 mana is great already but you can also get an easy to activate arcane explosion for doing what murloc shaman does best.

Fun idea, but I'm still not totally convinced murloc shaman has what it takes. They always feel like they are close but never good enough. 

I think we're going to need to see a few more murlocs before we can know if murloc shaman will be a thing this expansion.

They failed to make murloc shaman a thing every time so far. And this depends on the rest of the murlocs we are getting.

So im going with 1/5.

Just love the flavour of the card

Turn 2 Tinfyfin meta with it using its adorable little webbed paws to unleash hellfire.

Murloc package for wild! Ice Fishing, Toxfin and this. Pretty nice, 2 cards 3 mana: destroy all enemy minions, small board with poison, 1 dmg face and 2 mana draw 2 thin. Hyped :)

Love it, but I hope it isn't insanely broken. Luckily there is very little Murloc generation in standard, so it should be a little tamer than Altruis was

This is definitely good enough to see play in Murloc Shaman. Fine stats for the cost with a powerful effect.

good card

From the battlegrounds more than the barrens! lol

Love the murloc decks, so this got my 5 stars

This effect is strong as the one of Altruis the Outcast. Right now I can't see a murloc shaman deck, but Blizzar seem to push this theme. In wild will be super strong for sure

Insane with Toxfin which is being run in murloc decks.

Huge board clear for low cost. And also murlock, so we'll see it in all Shaman Murlock Decks 

I adore this card, its a shame I don't think murlocs will see any play this expansion

Really fun addition to murloc decks.  Alot like altruis.

i both love and hate to see this as a legendary 

Very strong - if murloc shaman seems even a shadow of play this will be great! So many cheap murlocs will likely make this deck good

good

Brace yourselves...Murlocs are coming.

Flurgl is a very good tool for Murlocs, giving them the ability to control an aggressive opponent's board while also chipping in extra face damage. As I see this, Murloc Shaman has very few weaknesses. It has strong, synergistic minions. It has a variety of ways to control the board. It has relevant card draw. It has powerful AoE buffs. This will be the deck to beat on day 1, and I think it will continue to be a force in the meta.

Murlocs are going to be strong this expansion

Amazing card, and really good art. It'll surely swing many games given how strong it is

If they can keep the board, murloc shamans can be a terror. No comeback cards, though.

Best murloc

Even though it only costs 2 mana, this is definitely not a card I'd want to throw down early.  That being said, I love that it's only two mana so that if the game starts going long there is an opportunity to play this, followed by several other murlocs to try to turn the tides of battle (pun intended).

I'm going to be scared of this in wild quest shaman

MRGLRGLRLGRL SHAMAN!

Absolutely adore this card. Just a sea of damage with a load of little fish men. Sounds hilarious.

surprised to see aoe for murlocs. decent card

I'm down with Murloc shaman again!

This is an insane effect on a Murloc. So good, I expect to see a lot of people trying out Murloc Shaman thanks to this powerhouse.

YES YES YES. Amazing stats with its ability. Burn the aggro decks along with the opponent, or just burn the opponent.

The issue I have with Firemancer Flurgl is that 1) murloc decks want to flood the board as soon as possible and not hold on to murlocs and 2) Shaman doesn't have a great way to refill on murlocs as they are losing Underbelly Angler. Therefore, I don't see Flurgl being incredibly efficient like Altruis the Outcast, which may lead to a sign that Murloc Shaman may not be so efficient this expansion.
