  • This is deFINitely slow for a Murloc deck, but I kinda like it, mainly because there's an OK* chance of rolling Carefree Cookie as one of the four to both clear out some minions and establish a decent board. I agree that this is unlikely to see a lot of play (since it's not always going to help win the board, and winning the board on turn 8 isn't that big of a deal in current Hearthstone anyway). I still think it's cool.

    Also, Hearthstone's card library is slightly more optimistic about the card pool (mainly because of fish like Murloc Warleader and One Amalgam Band).

    *Not a mathematically relevant term.

  • I havent commented on my of the cards thus far, mostly down to the lack of free time, but man I just got to make an exception for this one.

    The cards rubbish. Comparable to Goliath, Sneed's Masterpiece, but worse, much worse. Wheras at least sneeds does the job, putting 10 damage to your opponent's board and developing an 8/8, this card doesnt even guarantee the damage dealt and is itself a feeble 3/4. The only mitigating circumstance is playing this on an empty board where its decent but nothing special but its practically an impossibility anyway on turn 8.

    Well, I suppose where every expansion needs a fun but dud card, this one's it in spades.

    • It's kind of an odd choice. Both this and the previous miniset are ridiculously low power level. I wonder if they're trying to scale the game's power level down a little, like the Year of the Raven did. If so, 2026 is gonna be a great year.

  • Isn't Grunty...terrible? 8-Mana for a 3/4 with an effect that's Super Duper random and can't go face. You're just hoping the Murlocs are big enough to clear stuff.

    • He does seem quite bad, yes. His highrolls are pretty decent, but the lowrolls are really bad. Sadly, the current Murloc Standard pool also has more bad rolls than good ones.

  • That's a funny effect. Love the little guy.
