They would have no choice but to go face because of their hero power. It is a 2 mana do nothing unless you are playing an aggro deck. Besides, the only way a control deck for hunter would ever become meta is if it was encouraged by the base set and supported by expansions. It would have to be forced by the devs the way elemental shaman was, not naturally created by players.
Omg, Priest in wild is happy aa hell. Twilight Call, Vivid Nightmares, 1 mana spell give Reborn, all mixed with Spirit Lash... Damn, that's gotta be interesting and infuriating at same time
I want this to be good because I have always like evolve Shaman. I just feel like any time that deck starts to shine the player base really starts to get angry. I don't know, it feels slow and will require a bit much set up to make it worthwhile.
This one looks to be average. Yes it has value, but where is it going to go right now? Druid doesn't usually want minions in that mana slot. I guess it will be helpful of of discover effects or random minion generation.
Seems OK. I don't think warriors are running enough pirates in standard to make this a regular card. It will be tried out in wild for sure. Maybe there will be more pirate warrior support in the future for it.
So you say you like card draw? Wow, this is something else. It wasn't that long ago that aggro decks include the 1/3 librarian that fills your hand to three cards at the end of your turn (yeah I'm too lazy to look up the name). I think this might have just as good a chance to be included. You don't have to worry about a minimum hand size and it demands removal along side a bunch of other minions that are hitting you in the face. It will also be good for the quests we have seen so far in needing very specific cards to be drawn. I think this will be a must have card for a lot of decks.
I love this card. I am almost certain it won't be a good deck but I'm sure it will be fun to try and make happen. I'm interested in how epic the animation will be to equip the weapon and what it will look like as it destroys the mana crystals. I think Hunter, Priest, and Druid will have a decent time making this work. Shaman might pull it off if they can drop both minions and double Vivid Spores them. In any case, I'm looking forward to this one.
Priest can't because they don'T have copy effects thus far.
Psyche Split, Gift of Luminance, Raise Dead, and even Rally and The Nameless One would like to have a word with you. Yes, The Nameless One would silence the one on the board, but as long as the silenced copy isn't the last one to die it will still add to the total count of dead piggies.
I changed my Warlock card to an Epic and made it say "to (do X)" to make sure that a Murloc is destroyed for the board-buff. I tried to fit the text on three lines but it doesn't look good. For your consideration, I also included two new cards based on the art I found in my stash:
Murlocs too small to push through that Taunt? Want to double-up after all your Murlocs attacked? Suddenly feel like going tall after you built that wide board? Franken-Mrrgl has got you covered. Maybe he should say "to gain their stats" instead of just +3/+3.
Inquiring Shock-Fin doesn't need to be a Murloc, to be fair. The Rush is implied to be from the shock-stick in its hand, probing them lol. Name could stand to be better.
This is a lot like Spikeridged Steed in some ways, and that spell was used a lot. This is a bit different, but the cost is good and it's tradeable. I think this will see lots of play. It's a late game board generator, which Token Druid doesn't really have much of right now.
Just as a reminder so we're all clear, I HATE Murlocs. They're quintessential stupid aggro bullshit wrapped in an ugly fish-frog skin. With that bias in mind, let's begin:
Show Spoiler
shatterstar1998 - I like the idea of using Tradeable, even though it doesn't feel like something you "trade" or have to do with trading/merchants in general. The name-change helps in that regard, at least. "Discover a Murloc" is more powerful than the Tinyfin, of course, but I still feel like it might be the way to go. For flavor and power reasons: spending 1 mana to cycle a card means you're not spending the mana to build your board and go face, so the payoff has to be worth it.
AeroJulwin - Soul of the Murloc aside, Murlocs are supposed to be weak to clearing. Ignoring that for a moment, something else is that the Ghosts are not Murlocs, which the deck won't appreciate because it wants to stay "in tribe" for synergies and the like. If we want to forcibly yank the tribe away from its aggressive tendencies into something different then I'm all for it; I just don't think this is the way to go about that.
Cheese - When I first saw your card I was concerned with it being Tier 2, so updating it to Tier 3 or 4 is a step in the right direction in my opinion. I think Tier 3 might be okay. It's weird that you would be essentially playing any-other tribe beyond Murlocs, and just using Cookie's effect to buff your Dragons/Eles/whatever, but it's still interesting. For science!
anchorm4n - I say "YOLO, let it steal Zilliax!" Not sure if this should exist in the same expansion as E.M.P. Operative with regards to Mech-hate, but it's not the worst thing. It can also steal a SN1P-SN4P played straight, by the way. I will say though that this is a Murloc in flavor only and that might hurt you. It doesn't have to be a Murloc at all; it just happens to be one.
Arkasaur - Frankly, I think the non-Rush version is too boring. You're just making "vanilla" 4/3s; there's got to be more utility than that to warrant being an effective Legendary. I've also seen this art + name + effect like four separate times in my card-making "career", so something to keep in mind I guess.
R - With some tweaking of the flavor, you could shift the Cunning Tidehunter to Kobolds & Catacombs and incorporate Recruit. Might be worth a consideration *shrugs* Not to say it's bad as-is or anything like that; I just think the flavor is lackluster.
Demonxz95 - I shudder to think of Murlocs expanding out to Priest, of all things. Healing in said deck would also be super weird, but I applaud the dramatic reversal of "the Murloc way" (i.e: Aggro), so maybe the originality will benefit you. I really don't like Glacier Crystalfin because the Murloc aspect feels tacked-on: it's a Freeze-related card that happens to be a Murloc.
Wailor - I would just stick with Holyfin Crusader. The art makes perfect sense with the class, and it just…works.
Lundy - Tirion Forgrgl is a meme; some people will like that, and some people will very much not. I prefer the Broodmother because it's "an actual card" and not a gimmick. Cost feels really high, but not sure how to tone it down.
Neoguli - I'm sure someone would find a way to break it when more deck cost-reduction cards come into existence. If it could draw 1-Cost cards you could pair it with Spirit of the Dead and its ilk, or just to draw the other Seashore Tinyfin. Don't know if that would pull too far away from your "kawaii" intentions, though :P
Hordaki - I like the Merchant because it pushes you to build your deck differently. You can't just go all-Murlocs-all-day; you would need to incorporate Tradeable cards. I think the text is fine as-is :)

Looks extremely satisfying to pull it off.

Deathrattle dhunter or spell mage works pretty well. Basically able to guarantee weapon on 1, boar on 2, skull on 6, deathspeaker on 7 is pretty nuts.
For mage, its basically incanter's flow on 2 everytime all the time.

Interesting design. I like how it scales. I'll be curious to see what minions this functions best with.

My first thought was that this is way too slow and you'll die before you can pull it off. Then I remembered Venomous Scorpid into Palm Reading into Renew into Raise Dead into Venomous Scorpid ...
Oh god kill me now.

This is a pretty sweet card. Anything with Rush is at least playable, and this can also synergize with various other cards.

damn 6 cost if it were 5 mana it would be awesome. 6 is borderline okay
