The Great Tournament has brought many new cards for Hearthstone. But one stands out from the crowd: The Murloc Knight.
Murkimus, the Gladiator
With the current expansion, Hearthstone has been given a lot of new cards. However, one very special card from the great tournament was significantly underestimated and has established itself as a true terror in the Arena mode over the past few weeks. Who needs a demonic Jaraxxus or a royal Varian Wrynn when Paladins can send a Murloc Knight into battle?
Many players laughed at the Murloc Knight for 4 mana with relatively weak stats of 3/4 and the inspiration effect: “Summons a random Murloc” – I am no exception. However, in the past weeks, it has shown how devastating the little lance bearer with its frog can affect the entire board! On average, its inspiration summons a Murloc with stats of 2/2 – on the first use. Due to the high synergy values of the Murlocs, this value increases dramatically every turn. It becomes particularly critical for the enemy when the Murloc Knight simply summons a second Murloc Knight, as this throws the game out of control.
The streamer and Hearthstone pro Kripparian takes a closer look at the little gurgling creature and analyzes in detail the advantages and disadvantages of the card in the Arena and the ranked mode.
Which of the 132 new cards did you underestimate before and is now stronger than expected?
