Probably one of the best cards in the game. Unironically.
Basically unless youre a control deck there's a good chance you'll be playing at least a minion a turn so this card is practically free after somewhere around 3-4 turns and with a 3/4 lifesteal body you'll get back a little tempo and some health.
This is not Corridor Creeper, by any stretch, but its really close. I expect to see plenty of this card.
This doesn't even need murloc synergies to justify a slot -- dude pally (which will likely be bad), could run this, for example. Demon Hunter could, conceivably, run this in an aggro package because it has an ultra-earlygame card that summons small minions. Maybe weenie DH gives it a go. Hunter could slot this in, but doesn't need it.
I think the real stand-out here might be Mage. Mage hits harder midgame and the cusp of late and can have health problems along the way. Even if the Murloc doesn't get to swing, a free +4 Health buffer might be worth Mage's time so it can get to a pop-off with skeles, and said skeles will activate Murlocula.
Warlock Murlock will already run this, but there's enough Warlock-flood effects that an Imp/Shadow/Shade/Voidwalker token deck could justifiably try this, lose to Druid, and give up, but it might work for the first two days, so that's something.
This could have a lot of different applications:
In the heart of Transylvania
In the vampire hall of fame, yeah
There's not a vampire zanier than...
I love the art on this card. Esp the infused one lol
Pretty basic art for a game that expects you to pay 300+ dollars a year.
