Whoever guessed murlocs guessed right.
Murloc Shaman has been pushed as a team for several expansions now, but it never really became a thing. With Unite the Murlocs—Shaman’s quest card from Journey to Un’Goro—Blizzard are making another attempt at promoting the archetype.
The quest is a rather straightforward one and it follows the logic of Priest’s [card]awaken the makers[/card]: Play X amount of special minions and gain a big boss as a reward. In Shaman’s case, that’s Megafin, a giant 8/8 murloc for 5 mana, which fills your hand with random Murlocs.
The value of Megafin is undeniable both in terms of stats and card advantage is undeniable but the quest objective might just be too steep. Ten murlocs is a big ask, especially considering there aren’t many good murloc minions warranting a card slot, but with the help of [card]murloc tidehunter[/card], for example, a Murloc Shaman deck could in theory gather enough momentum to summon Megafin close to the perfect curve. With [card]tunnel trogg[/card] and [card]totem golem[/card] being rotated out, United the Murlocs could very well be how Aggro Shaman is played from now on.
