Of course, Ashes ofOutlandhas brought in some exciting new toys for this deck to play with, including the super-powerful 1-dropImprisoned Sungill, as well as the Legendary minionMurgur Murgurgle, who’s just waiting to flood the board as Murgurgle Prime.
It’s pretty simple to play this deck list - stay on curve and be aggressive. We’ll be keeping an eye on this one to see if it makes a splash.

General strategy
Below, you’ll find our guide to help you navigate the exciting world that is Murloc Paladin.
Early Game: You want to start with some cheap Murloc minions.Imprisoned Sungillis a great starter, as well asMurloc Tidecallerwhich can start dealing some real good damage if possible. They’ll buff each other and start flooding the board if your opponent is complacent, so focus on this and try to catch them off guard. Remember, Murlocs on board and ready to attack can be buffed up withMurloc WarleaderandColdlight Seerif you need that extra push for damage or survival.
Mid Game:Toxfinis a great way to clear out any big Taunts your opponent puts in your way, and works great on a Murloc with Divine Shield. You can actually achieve this if you playScalelordon a fairly wide board.
Just stick to the plan - all these Murlocs will force some chunky board clears out of your opponent and they’ll likely end up burning through them faster than they’d like. Warriors will end upBrawling your bunch of Murlocs, whilst Shaman enemies will end up having to throw their Hagatha’s Schemes out the window early. All this is absolutely fine, as you have a seemingly endless supply of fishy friends to lob in your opponent’s direction.
Late Game: At this point, you could well be on the cusp of victory. Just keep buffing your fishy boys and you’ll be golden.
