I just realized, if you can stick Bolner on 2 (not unlikely from experience), you can pop off on turn 3. That’s certainly an advantage over naga mage. Dodges a ton of clears as well. Only downside is that your hand will be small, so you really need gorloc.

This plus Bolner is an absolute hand dump. First subsequent murloc costs 4 less. If the next is a battlecry murloc, the next costs a whopping 6 less, aka free gorloc. Then you can do a chain of -4 costing battlecry murlocs. This plus the give-rush murloc seems like a naga mage turn, although less powerful since it’s limited to just murlocs and no spells.

On its own this is a powerful card, but with such potential for upside, the deck will surely see play.
