Tidelost Burrower - A strong murloc option. That is to say, if its ever going to be viable at all. Currently murloc shaman isn't all that popular but according to hsreplay is holding its own. Unfortunately, in standard right now, Im not seeing why this card would do anything more than grant you a 6/6 stat ball on turn 4.
Clownfish - When I first saw this minion in mercs, I thought it was the single worst piece of art available and now they damn well went ahead and pasted it on a standard hearthstone card. The card itself is very strong though. Basically allows you to go all in like Spitelash Siren. Unlike siren, since this card can neither reload your hand nor grant you anything else other than a murloc swarm, you're really all in - as in if you dont win the next turn chances are good you're dead.
Command of Neptulon - A card made for Wrathspine Enchanter. Fortunately, this card is still good on its own. But its likely not going to fit the whole burn shaman package, because why bother dealing with the board when you can freeze it for 4 turns?
Pretty sure Clownfish is insane with Gorloc Ravager. We all know what happens when mana discount and card draw reaaally loves each other
Im a bit doubtful, but I haven't actually play murloc shaman this meta yet. You play this on turn 3 along with another murloc so your ravager cost 3 on turn 4, but is that really a scary enough play? If this was a warlock card it would be insane but in shaman, Im not too sure.
Edit: I should add that I still think its a strong card, because it allows you swarm the board followed by something like bloodlust to finish the game. But that doesn't change my initial impression that this card allows an all-or-nothing, and really nothing else.
It does discount two things though, so on curve after your Gorloc Ravager you can play also play a three-drop murloc. Maybe even do another Clownfish into Gorloc Ravager. But I am currently thinking in wild right now, not in standard.
Very good nature spell for both Wrathspine Enchanter and Command the Elements in standard.
Nice! This will be nice support for Murloc Warl...wait a minute
