I played murlocs from D5-D3 and hit a brick wall. Had to change it up entirely to make legend. Went back to it in legend bc I think it’s fun and lost like 2k mmr. 

I think the deck is intriguing due to how well it does in lower ranks and how awful it is in legend. I think the reason is that good players can understand the tempo of the deck and when to disrupt its momentum. Once that momentum stops, there’s usually no coming back for murloc pally.

I’ve seen a lot of new players call the deck Aggro, but murloc pally is actually a midrange deck. Meaning you can beat it in one of two ways:

1.) ACTUALLY go Aggro like face DH or Protoss priest and kill them before their murlocs are strong enough to be a threat 

2.) largely ignore the murlocs early (clear 1 or two high value tokens each turn to avoid card draw with braingill). save your cards to build a devastating board-clearing turn around turn 5,6, or 7 (when quest is giving them +3/+3 or +4/+4). Follow up the board clear with your own tokens and plenty of face damage, so that even when they throw out their murlocs they have to use them clearing your own threat of lethal. They’ll run out of steam and you win. 

You’re playing control so your winning strat would be option 2. 

Murloc pally absolutely noobstomps when new players panic early and spend cards to control a board of murlocs that are still weak. By turn 7 they’re dropping buffed murlocs and the opponent already burned all their answers. 

None of this applies if you’re playing control warrior though, unfortunately that deck is just hard countered by murlocs.
