Murgur Murgurgle

Murgur Murgurgle is a legendary paladin minion card, from the Ashes of Outland set.

Strategy
Murgur Murgurgle is a generally strong 2-mana minion. Similar to Shielded Minibot, Murgurgle can cleanly trade into 2/2 or 3/2 minions and survive. While the body is slightly less survivable, it makes up for this with a the potent Prime form. Murgurgle Prime likewise is a generally strong card that puts a large amount of stats into play.

As a well-statted Murloc, Murgur Murgurgle is a great card for Murloc Paladin. However, its generically great stats and no reliance on other murlocs make it a good fit for any Midrange Paladin or possibly some control builds. It's a perfect card for Highlander Paladin and No Neutral Paladin as well.

Lore
Murgur Murgurgle is unique to Hearthstone. He is a leader of the Sungill tribe of Murlocs (also unique to Hearthstone).

 * ''They had the Sungill under siege, trapped in the peninsula where their village was located.
 * ''The Sungill Chieftain was paralyzed with indecision – fight their way out, killing many of their previous brethren? Or stay and die as the Felfin closed in?
 * ''One particularly hardy tidehunter of the Sungill, survivor of numerous skirmishes with the Felfin, saw what needed to be done.
 * ''He staged a coup, deposing the previous Chieftain by force, and led his remaining people on a daring attack to burst through the Felfin lines, and escape to the open lands of Outland.
 * ''For this, his people thanked him. He did not want to be a Chieftain, but his people insisted he stay on as a military leader at least, and gave him the title of Murgur.
 * ''When he later fell to the Rusted Legion, Mecha-Jaraxxus took note; he was the fiercest murloc he had ever seen. And so, Mecha-Jaraxxus rebuilt him, as Murgurgle Prime.
