Murlocs have been one of
Hearthstone’s most prominent tribal synergy strategies since its
introduction. Murlocs are typically designed to benefit from each other
and begin to snowball exponentially as each one is added to the board.
This, along with the generally low mana-cost of the cards, pushes most
Murloc strategies to be aggressive.
While initially best in
Warlock, Blizzard started introducing Shaman support (and Paladin
support) for Murlocs in Goblins vs Gnomes. Murloc Shaman would continue
to get fairly regular additions as sets came out, but it wasn’t until
the Rise of Shadows expansion that it would get cards powerful enough
for it to be more than a meme.
