    Most badass murloc of all times, I meant the art is!

    Might be better in wild, with those menagerie cards but Maybe there might be a zoo like deck in standard too because if i saw correct there are some more murlocs that buffs dragons in hand.

    Looks like a gremlin and this card is also not to shabby, comparable to force of nature except you have the murloc synergy instead of treants.

    Menagerie cards aren't available in standard anymore but because this is a very strong battlecry (and there's another Murloc in this set that buffs dragons), it's theoretically possible to make a hybrid zoo deck with dragons, murlocs and maybe some beasts (Scaleworm is still available) as well. Doesn't seem bad to me.

    Along with Tasty Flyfish I just don't really see this murloc/dragon menagerie synergy really being a thing.

    This whole package could get more support down the line, but for standard play I simply do not see this being a thing.

    I don't think mixing 2 tribals will work, but I like how they try it.

    Also +1 for the amazing art. One of the best murlocs I have ever seen.

    This isn't good enough for the hoops you have to jump through. Its cool to see the menagerie concepts coming back again and again but I just don't see this one being worth it.

    To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the women.

    Alright, Menagerie is commin Boys. 

    Now is the Question: What's the best Class for it?

    I say Hunter. They already have Beast-Synergies, they're about to get some for Dragons and most Murloc-Support is Neutral anyway. Also, Scaleworm

    That's one ugly Murloc. But I don't think this will see play. Murlocs aren't that good overall so you probably won't get insane boards from this. Also the combination of Murlocs and Dragons seems weird, Menagerie decks don't fair well unless it's Battleground xd

    Still think this’ll take more synergy to have a chance, even in wild. Just doesn’t seem worth it over playing one singular tribe

    Not this expansion, can't see a murloc deck running dragons, murlocs are aggro, and dragons are control/midrange.. they don't mesh too well at least with the current murloc arsenal, but it makes it more likely to have a bad murloc with angler, or a highroll if you have amalgam as well.

    If the battle cry triggers, you have a lot of stats. On the other hand, you seem to have a dragon-murloc deck, where this is the strongest synergy. GG.

    First off, I am very glad we finally have a good murloc to pull off of The Curator. I was tired of having to use Nightmare Amalgam as the only murloc in my deck.

    This is an interesting design, we don't get a lot of multi-tribe cards, so I am not sure what kind of deck you can use this in. Getting three bodies for just one card is pretty good for some decks, and getting three murlocs means there might be some synergy between the cards. Most of the time this card will probably just flop and get you some really bad stats, but if you are playing a dragon/token deck, this guy fits right in! And who knows, maybe we will see a murloc/dragon deck in the meta ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Carrion, my wayward grub.

    I am using paladin for that in wild because of Vilefin Inquisitor's free murlocs + mech support because The Curator and Zoobot are mechs.

    This is probably about vanilla in terms of stats, but produces three bodies (which can matter a lot). I could actually see this being run in Paladin in the same deck that runs Righteous Cause

    Maybe not a meme, compared to the other Neutral Epics? Hopefully? Defending a good card for The Curator to pull, alongside a Dragon and Scaleworm.

    Thematically, how can you promote Murlocs and Dragons blend?
    I love the artwork, really unsure anyone can truly benefit from this dual-tribe building type, but would love to be proven wrong.

    Sorry maybe I'm in the minority but i don't see menagerie decks being impactful enough to see anything but the most meme of plays. 5 is also a high cost for an RNG murloc (compare to Scargil at 4 mana with an incredibly overpowered effect) and "mid-range murloc" deck just doesn't sound plausible.

    Perfect addition into Degenerate Paladin(tip the scales). Just throw in a few Nightmare Amalgams and Dragonqueen Alexstraxa and bam. You either pull this little shit from tip the scales or you can trigger a pretty good battlecry

    I'm hoping this kind of archetype sees more support in the future. I won't work now, but in Wild there is additional menagerie support with cards like Zoobot and The Curator. In Standard this will see no play, 2 stars. Another bad epic for this set though..

    Obviously something that will be built upon in the following expansions. I hope. Currently, this is weak, but maybe with a couple of Amalgams and something else it could work? Or don't even put this in a Murloc deck and instead put it in a midrange dragon one?

    This card is similar to [Hearthstone Card (Hench-Clan Hog) Not Found], but it cost 1 mana more and needs a dragon in hand. I don't think that this card is strong enough to see a lot of play.

    Hmm it's interesting. Does Blizzard what to make a deck mith mixed minion type? It might be interesting if they release a new Nightmare Amalgam after the rotation in april. We already got Tasty Flyfish so the 2nd released card with mixed type synergy doesn't look like an accident. So why not?

    A truly oddball card. Feels like it wanted to be released in the days of Karazhan when Blizzard flirted with “Menagerie” cards that buffed Murlocs, Beasts and Dragons. Those decks fell apart because it was difficult to make a functional deck that used multiple tribal synergies and the same is probably still true today. Murlocs run the gamut of statlines so even at the highroll outcome, this card is probably too weak to play.

    Are menagerie coming back? Scale worm, Tasty Flyfish and amalgaman seem to say so, and in my battleground heart I so hope so, but there is still not enough.

    Still, I'm going to play with it, who knows, could be this expansion sleeper.

    Actually a shaman dragon/murloc variant might pop up, you run angler, and slurper anyway in most shaman decks you are already running 4 murlocs, run the dragons and get a decent 5 drop in the deck to buff or generate more murlocs..

    Murloc shaman ran some late game anyway sometimes the late game might be the dragons..
