I want to thank my friend ryshoe#1938 for helping me improving this deck to the current version. It took us a lot of discussion to reach this version, which is working very well from rank 5 to rank 3 (65% winrate for the games above rank 5). 

Card Choices:

Maelstrom Portal: It is great for early game board control (kills N'Zoth's First Mate, Southsea Deckhand and Patches the Pirate) and at least provides a body for buff or flametongue in midgame

Coldlight Oracle: The minions of this deck are mostly cheap, so we need this card to sustain in midgame. Don’t get worried that this also gives your opponent cards. We can often use this card to find lethal.

Doomsayer: The early 1 drop and 2 drop minions of this deck usually cannot compete with the early game of decks such as pirate warrior (1/1 charge with 1/3 weapon instant kill our minions) and midrange shaman (Tunnel Trogg and Totem Golem kill everything). So we use doomsayer to clear the board on turn 2 and gain the board initiation since most murloc synergies require murlocs on board. But if you are uncomfortable with this card or you are not sure how to use it optimally, you can replace them with 2 Lightning Storm.

Mana Tide Totem: It helps you sustain against slower matchups. And it can often bait a 3 damage removal so they might not be able to remove warleader later.

Finja, the Flying Star: The card itself is very strong, 5 mana with soft taunt and usually secured 2 murlocs pull. It is a way to refill vs slower decks. The murlocs pulled can reduce the cost of Everyfin is Awesome. It is not a must include. If you don’t have this card, you can replace it with second Mana Tide Totem.

Why no Grimscale Oracle: In my opinion this is a fine card, but not great (you can find it in my screenshots as I was running them previously). As a 1/1 body, you need at least 2 murlocs on board to get the value of an Abusive Sergeant so it is not a strong turn 1 play. But when you have 2 or more murlocs on board, it’s definitely after turn 2, when you can already play Coldlight Seer or Murloc Warleader. So this card is fine if you don’t run Doomsayer.

Why no Blowgill Sniper: This is total garbage. I saw people running it probably just because it is a murloc. If we use this to deal 1 board damage, Maelstrom Portal is absolutely better as it’s an aoe and it can potentially give you better body than a 2/1. If we use this to deal 1 face damage, Bluegill Warrior beats this card a thousand times as it can deal 4+ damage to face with Murloc Warleader or Flametongue Totem.

 

Mulligans: In most situations, we keep an aggressive hand if we have one, especially if we have Murloc Tidecaller and [card]Sir finley Mrrgglton[/card]. If we have the coin with a 1 drop minion, we can also keep a Coldlight Seer or a Murloc Warleader. If we have both Murloc Tinyfin and Coldlight Seer, keep them.

 

Strategy against common decks:

Pirate warrior: Against pirate warrior we need to play very carefully and calculate meticulously since every single health matters (you can see from my screenshots that I am often below 10 health when I win). Usually we try to get heal, armor or fireblast from Sir Finley Mrrgglton (never pick life tap against aggro). Keep Doomsayer and Maelstrom Portal. If we have both Murloc Tidehunter and Bilefin Tidehunter in hand, we should play murloc tidehunter early on and save bilefin for later when we win the board. The 1/1 taunt can often save you 5+ health from Arcanite Reaper or even Leeroy Jenkins if warrior doesn’t have minions on board.

Renolock: Keep an aggro hand if you have, if not keep Doomsayer, Coldlight Oracle (mill is fun!) and Mana Tide Totem. In an aggro situation, turn 4 is a key turn, keep about 3 or 4 minions on board and make sure we can refill the board after hellfire. If he doesn’t have hellfire, fill the board as much as you can, since he doesn’t have a strong play on turn 5. Keep in mind turn 6 is potentially Reno Jackson or Felfire Potion. But you can’t always be timid and try to play around aoes as renolock has 6 aoes and we need to take the risk sometimes. However, if your opening is not strong and you don’t think you can beat him under 5 on turn 5, play as a combo deck and use doomsayer, manatide to stall.

Priest: Very favored match up. Priest is the only class against which we can keep a Flametongue Totem in hand if we have other minions to play. Right now priest is so easy to beat with this deck. Dragon priest typically doesn’t run 5 mana aoe, and we can often kill them before they can use Dragonfire Potion.

Druid: Extremely favored match up. Druid is the only class against which we can keep Everyfin is Awesome in hand during mulligan. And if we have everyfin you can also keep Murloc Tinyfin. Basically playing druid is “I play everyfin and I win”. On turn 2 we can start to put pressure and they have to decide whether they remove on turn 2 or Wild Growth. Swipe is the only card to play around and there is not much else to worry about.

Shaman: Unfavored match up. Mulligan hard for Doomsayer. Without it, your only other win condition is early board control. If you can get a sticky board, aggro shaman loses. Midrange shaman can only be beat early.

 

Tips:

Bluegill Warrior is primarily used to trade in faster matchups, and only to go face later on.

Coldlight Oracle after you build a large board to increase chances of an everyfin or warleader.

Murloc Warleader should be used usually as a mini Bloodlust or help trading. Playing it only to have it removed is a waste of resources.

Do not be greedy with Doomsayer, killing 1 minion is fine.

THIS DECK IS NOT ALWAYS AGGRO. You are allowed to totem turn 2 instead of playing a Murloc Tidehunter to set up for a later combo.
