    Seems pretty good if you manage to play a Murloc on turn 1 (and it doesn't die). Murlocs definitely need to hold the control of the board now that Warleader leaves and this seems like a good tool for that.

    Do I even need to point out that 2-mana SI:7 is nuts for any tempo deck?

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Together with the 1/2 Deathrattle summon a Murloc Tinyfin, which is really sticky, this will really secure the board!

    Strong card, will certainly see play in murloc shaman.

    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.

    If murloc shaman becomes a thing this will be played in it 100% of the time. That said I don't know if the cards that we've seen push the archetype enough to bring it to an even footing with other aggro classes.

    It reminds me of Murkspark Eel. The condition is super easy to meet and 2 damage is not insignificant in the early game.

    Shaman is getting some real Murloc pushers in this set, and this isn't even the most powerful. It's really good for the kind of deck a Murloc Shaman wants to be. Allows for board control to protect your other minions, or face damage. Gonna be a lot of Murlocs on day 1.

    Very strong card for Murloc Shaman.

    But that's of course dependent on Murloc Shaman existing, and the fate of that deck is not too clear.

    Its just a good card. Good stats, with a good effect that will stay relevant even in the late game. If you're playing murlocs this guy will always be an auto include.

    But of course, you got to be playing a murloc deck. And that's not exactly a 100% tier 1-2 deck, so this card suffers from that.

    Murlocs lost their big kahuna in Murloc Warleader. While they can still be very aggressive and, therefore, able to win some games because of that. So, and considering Murloc Shaman is in a rebuilding phase right now, I feel that, aside from maybe a small package of murlocs in a non-murloc heavy aggro deck, South Coast Chieftain probably won't see too much play and even then, the package won't come into the deck because of South Coast Chieftain but rather because of Spawnpool Forager.

    Rating cards on coolness factor rather than predicting power because I like screwing up rating averages (and because I suck at predicting real power levels, but we'll ignore that LUL)

    The problem with chaman murloc always has been to deal the final damage if the opponent manage to destroy our board. with this we can play a little murloc then do 2 face and finish the opponent. it also allow to trade one taunt minion or take the advantage vs an aggro deck. Probably the best murloc common murloc ever printed.

    I like murloc options. This seems like a decent piece to help them stay on board and/or push extra damage.

    Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.

    Such a shame they're pushing Mur Shaman

    I've been here a while; just hanging out in the background.

    Spring Rocket, costs less with more stats. Amazing card.

    Put your faith in the Light!

    Insane tempo for Murloc Shaman and the new 1 drop allows it to be played on-curve pretty reliably.

    Would have been better if it was more expensive but damaged all enemy minions but it's fine this way also

    Perfect combo with the 1-drop, since it'll likely leave the 1/1 behind even if the 1/2 is killed straight away.

    As someone who enjoys playing murloc decks I like this a lot.  As someone who dislikes facing murloc decks, I dislike this a lot.  The versatility of being able to hit minions or go face is always a good thing, at least for the player playing it.

    Nice tempo tool for Murloc decks that want to go fast and win the board.

    Combos nicely with Murloc Tinyfin and is a good follow up to a one-drop murloc. My only concern with Murloc Shaman is that they may not have a great ability to reload and can burn out on tempo fairly quickly. Even if Murloc Shaman doesn't work this expansion, South Coast Chieftain is a good tool to help the archetype in the future.

    For glory, honor, and gold!

    How about trying the quest for wild to reload? Unite the Murlocs

    Also I am playing murloc shaman in the past few days in wild to get insight into the deck before the expansion launches and you often win without having to reload just by your early board tempo and buff snowballing so I think the non quest version is actually better to not skip your turn 1 but the quest for reload might be a tech if you’re seeing many control decks. Plus you have Underbelly Angler for reload.
