Wild Murloc Aggro Rogue
- Aggro Rogue
- Wild
- Theorycraft
Are you a fan of aggressive rogue decks? Do you miss playing Murloc Shaman or Murloc Paladin? Then Murloc Rogue might be the fun archetype for you! This list is subject to change as the cards in the deck are a theorycraft towards doing high burst damage in a single turn with Crabrider, a new Murloc minion introduced in the Darkmoon Races Mini-Set. Be aware that while this deck can cheese some wins against just about every deck in the wild meta (if you play your cards right) that it should really only be considered a fun deck for the time being. I wouldn't advise trying this deck yet unless you own most of these cards. For cards to keep in your opening hand always keep Murloc Tidecaller, and Rockpool Hunter if you are going first without the coin. If you are going second with the coin prioritize Crabrider, and a way to activate the combo effect of Cold Blood such as Foxy Fraud or Murloc Tinyfin. If you brick using this list and are going second with the coin then you can use your Secret Passage to look for Murloc Tidecaller, and Murloc Tinyfin to increase the attack of your Murloc Tidecaller. This deck requires more highroll than even Discard Warlock to cheese out wins, but even if you don't draw a good opening hand you can still use your cards to help you recover from what would have been a brick with at least some kind of board presence. Consider playing Foxy Fraud with enough combo cards left in your deck (especially if you have a sizeable board presence) to discount cards like Cold Blood, and Swindle when they are drawn into. This list is for the rogue class because this deck does a surprisingly good job at countering the popular Odd paladin deck (from my experience) with your hero power, and the combined rush and windfury abilities of Crabrider. Conceal is a valuable asset against decks such as Reno Priest that would need to play targeted spells such as Penance before they Spirit Lash to deal with Crabrider. The stealth also prevents them from targeting your minions with Hysteria. This isn't one of your best matchups, but if Crabrider sticks you might be able to cheese these decks with early wins. Old Murk-Eye combined with Shadowstep is also a way to close out games that feels similar to pre-nerf Leeroy Jenkins of old if played with enough Murlocs present on the board. Last, but not least, I run Shadowstep at 2 copies because of interactions with several battlecry minions in the deck. A Murloc Tidecaller with at least 4 health can be made when paired with Shadowstep and Rockpool Hunter Let me know what you think of my list, and if the list or guide could be updated. Are there any combos that I forgot to mention? I hope everyone viewing this list found it interesting at least, and I look forward to any feedback in the comments.

Update: Crabrider finally unnerfed!
I've updated my list to cut 2x Prize Vendor for 2x Lushwater Scout, and 1x Murloc Tidehunter for 1x Voracious Reader. The new list can be found below. It's still not very good especially as new strategies have taxed this sort of gameplan heavily during the time that Crabrider was nerfed, but if you already have these cards you might as well play it, but at your own risk...

Crabrider was changed in patch 20.2.2. The Murloc Rogue dream is dead since it only gains windfury on the turn it was summoned now. Who knows? I might theorycraft another list, but there remains no reason to even consider playing Murloc Rogue as the only "synergy" the deck had is now gone (unless Crabrider happens to get unnerfed when Madness at the Darkmoon Faire rotates at the start of next year).
