    These sound great for arena. BAsically Twinspell minions.

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Very good Murloc and it might be good enough to run in something like Quest Hunter since it counts for 2 minions and can be tutored with the 4/1.

    Remarkably okay for a reveal stream dump common, but still not really strong enough to see play. It is fairly big for a murloc though, so it is a maybe card for murloc paladin's recruit effects.

    This post is discussing the wild format.

    This is my favorite of the "ghost" cycle. I feel like 4 mana 4/3 rush is a lot more playable than 6 mana 5/7 taunt. And also it is a Murloc, which is useful in a Murloc deck.

    It's certainly amusing, and it's a way for every class to deal 4 damage. That said, I don't imagine it making waves in Constructed.

    Too costly for what it does, maybe it will only be good in arena.

    Has rush, and for 8 mana goes twice. Otherwise its a removal for 4 mana. Not too bad.

    But likely its either a murloc deck or bust. Just too expensive in most classes. Might make a slight niche inclusion into libram pally.

    Or if Robes of Protection proves too much, then this card is nearly just an auto include into most control decks.

    Cool concept actually, but it has a too general effect idk which deck would want to run it.

    The ONLY murloc in this expansion, if i'm right. That's surprising honestly! i like it's effect, but i feel like it's a bit too expansive. Probably just a arena card, unless your DESPERATE for rush minions.

    RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.

    I wonder if the ghost is also a murloc? I think it's a decent card overall, tag or no. But if both minions are murlocs, it might have slightly better use in murloc decks.

    Crazy artwork. I like it. But I doubt it will find a place in a murloc deck. Too expensive for what it does. The murloc that gives poisonous is just better if you are looking to remove big taunt cheap and push more face dmg.

    Honestly probably the best of these "Ghosts" cards. Definitely not as bad as it looks.

    As Blizzard is consistently inconsistent, Spectral Flyer is also a Murloc. That might change eventually, as Ghostly Charger lost its Beast tag after community feedback, and Witchwood Grizzly saw the bear's color change to brown for the same "ghosts should not have tribes" reason.

    I can’t help but compare this card withRestless Mummy but it feels so much worse in a board control regard. With mummy you can deal 6 damage for 4 mana, this is 8 damage for 8 mana. 
    It does have some upsides, the second body is also a 4/3 and both are murlocs which helps that archetype. Overall not too impressed by this one.

    Most of the time it's just a neutral 4 mana "Twinspell. Deal 4 damage to a minion". I don't this card would see play

    Strange mechanic. Too much cost for a murloc. Maybe Paladins can make use of this.

    Might see some play in Murloc Paladin, I quite like it. Probably instead of Consecration in the current list.

    I'll try to find a place for it in murloc paladin, but this seems like a nice pick up from angling rod or fishflinger.

    I think this is going to be really strong, but maybe it's too slow as a Murloc?

    This might be one of the few Murlocs that makes its way into non-murloc decks because of the rush and deathrattle rush minion to hand.

    Might be too slow overall, but a solid neutral rush minion with an additional upside is rarely un-played.

    I love the spectral flavor across the set ; they had an opportunity and didn't missed their chances to make their deathrattle flavorful!

    4 mana 4/3 is acceptable stats, Kor'kron Elite, warriors 4 mana 4/3 with charge has seen play depending on the meta, usually when warrior is a very aggressive class playing pirates.

    And while this murloc can't go face the turn it's played, it's rush is something that murloc decks usually lack - single minion removal. 4 attack is usually enough to chip a taunt in your way and finish it off with a token, or completely remove a taunt if Murloc Warleader is on the field.

    What makes this minion even stronger still is the additional 4/3 with rush that it adds to your hand upon death. Not as mana efficient as say Restless Mummy that deals 6 damage for 4 mana, but this minion is still perfect cannon fodder for murloc decks that want to play aggressively (i.e, ALL OF THEM)

    Pretty good for a murloc, helps to clear out small threats and big ones

    Could just call it twinminion. I tend to find these "deathrattle: summon almost the same minion again" kinda boring. This time it goes in hand, but still.

    Even Hunter potential. It can clear out the board on turn 4 to delay for combos.

    I love this little subtheme of 'ghost' minions - they're like a variation on Reborn or Twinspell and I think it's a really cute idea. Glad they didn't try to push it too hard because the cards aren't actually great, but a fun theme nonetheless.

    When you compare this to cards like Flanking Strike and Restless Mummy, this just looks worse than those as the second half of the card is delayed and requires additional mana. I think Troll Batrider and Burrowing Scorpid are better options than this.

    This might be the most appealing of the neutral minions that generate ghosts in your hand with the same cost, stats, and abilities.

    The only one ghost card that can see constructed play.

    4 mana 4/3 rush is okish, have tribe and give you a second copy.

    Why does a ghost murloc count as a murloc but a ghost beast doesn't count as a beast?
