Strategy
In order to maximize the efficiency of the Murlocs, it is best to have as many Murlocs as possible in the deck. Having Murloc Warleader, Grimscale Oracle and Coldlight Seer on the board at the same time, would give you a combined +3/+3 bonus to all of your Murlocs, quadrupling the damage and Health of the weakest Murlocs. The Legendary card Old Murk-Eye, which can be gained as a Reward when all other Murlocs have been collected, would have an attack of 10 with six other Murlocs on the board.
However, in order to include all Murloc cards in your deck, you would have allocate 17 cards entirely to Murlocs, meaning that you would have limited options to play class-specific or other neutral cards. Moreover, Murlocs range in cost from 1 to 3 (except for Old Murk-Eye at 4), so you would want to include some more powerful cards in that other half of your deck or cards that let you draw cards, while that same half of the deck would also have class-specific cards.
Strategy
Due to their reasonably low mana Mana is the resource used in Hearthstone to play cards and use Hero Powers, each of which has a mana cost that must be paid to use it. The supply of mana is represented by cost, building a deck around Murloc cards can give you a very early board advantage by overwhelming your opponent with minions. Early game dominance and setting up your Murloc army will be your main objective. Most Murloc cards benefit from having other Murlocs on the field with them.

Background
From Wowpedia:
- The murlocs are a bipedal, amphibious humanoid race residing along coastlines, lakeshores, and riverbeds. Murlocs possess bulbous bodies, large mouths lined with rows of sharp fangs, and slime-coated skin. Individuals range in coloration from turquoise to darkish grey, while their heights vary from 3-1/2 feet to 6 feet. Depending on the variety, murlocs may lean towards a closer resemblance to frogs or to fish; the iconic green murloc, for instance, has coloration similar to the Cuban tree frog.
- Murlocs tend to dwell in amply-populated coastal settlements, and it is unusual to find individuals wandering too far from their compatriots. Players looking to engage murlocs should be wary of their surroundings; the creatures often lurk out of sight beneath the surface of the water. This tendency, coupled with their large social aggro radius, can often lead to larger pulls.
Counters
Spells that target all enemies, such as Arcane Explosion, Fan of Knives or other field-wide damage cards, are strong against Murloc decks due to their low health and swarm nature. Taunt The shield-like Taunt visual effect Taunt is a minion ability which forces the opposing player to direct any melee attacks toward enemy targets with this ability. Minions with Taunt (commonly referred to as Taunts) serve cards are useful against Murloc decks because they force the Murlocs to attack them before your hero can be targeted, possibly dying in the process.
It is recommended to remove any Murloc on the field as soon as possible, especially high priority targets such as Murloc Warleader or Murloc Tidecaller Murloc Tidecaller Set: Classic Type: Minion Subtype: Murloc Rarity: Rare Cost: 1 Attack: 1 Health: 2 Tags: Murloc-related, Summoning-related, Triggered effect Whenever you summon a Murloc, gain +1 Attack.This guy gets crazy strong at family , because of the increasing difficulty in killing Murlocs as more and more are put on the field. Be sure not to exhaust your options too early; using a Blizzard or Consecration on only a few Murlocs may leave you defenseless when they summon even more. Gauge the situation and see if waiting a turn is the better option.
Priests can effectively counter Murlocs by having Northshire Clerics early out and buffing them with Power Word: Shield. After that they can clear weak Murlocs using Clerics and heal Clerics for good card sustain and suffocating Murloc player.
Also, Hungry Crab is a direct early-game counter to Murlocs. If played early enough, its ability to destroy a Murloc when summoned plus the subsequent attack and health buff could be used to halt a Murloc deck from snowballing past its initial phases. If you know you will be going up against a Murloc deck, adding two Hungry Crabs should make it much easier to deal with.

History
Murlocs originally featured a number of minion type synergy effects that activated from or benefited "ALL" Murlocs, including the opponent`s. This included cards like Murloc Warleader, Coldlight Seer and Grimscale Oracle granting bonuses to not only friendly but also enemy Murlocs, Murloc Tidecaller Murloc Tidecaller Set: Classic Type: Minion Subtype: Murloc Rarity: Rare Cost: 1 Attack: 1 Health: 2 Tags: Murloc-related, Summoning-related, Triggered effect Whenever you summon a Murloc, gain +1 Attack.This guy gets crazy strong at family activating from either player summoning a Murloc, and Old Murk-Eye drawing power from even the opponent`s Murlocs. Be that as it may, these disadvantages only existed in the presence of a Murloc mirror match, in which case both opponents stood to gain from the common type-orientation. According to Ben Brode, this synergy was added to the Murloc type "mostly to make it feel really different from other minion types".
With Patch 6.2.0.15181 (2016-10-20) this behaviour was removed from all of the above cards except for Old Murk-Eye, with the effects now strictly confined to friendly Murlocs. The patch notes state that the changes were made in order to "improve the Murloc mirror-match"; Ben Brode later clarified that such matches tended to be determined mostly by "whoever played the first murloc". It should be noted that Murloc mirror matches were very rarely seen at this period (as well as for some time beforehand), but the changes may also have been made with future releases in mind, opening up design space for the type. Hungry Crab and Corrupted Seer`s negative effects were unchanged, as was Old Murk-Eye, which the developers discussed but "decided against" changing.
An earlier change came with Whispers of the Old Gods. Prior to this the Murloc legendary Old Murk-Eye was not craftable but had to be earned through collecting each Basic and Classic Murloc. The quest "Mrglglglgl!" awarded 1 regular copy to the player upon collecting regular copies of all Classic Murlocs, while "Golden Mrglglglgl!" awarded 1 golden copy to the player upon collecting golden versions of all Basic and Classic Murlocs. The accompanying patch removed the quests, and made Old Murk-Eye craftable instead. The change accompanied the similar removal of the quest to earn the Captain`s Parrot reward for collecting Pirates.
