This deck plays two ways. Mulligan for secrets, there's gonna be a lot of trading so avenge is an opportunistic card. Try to use it to save a buffed, or sly murloc like the grimscale oracle. People will generally trade into the murloc warleader..but in situations like this it's OK.

I try and reserve competitive spirit for win conditions or if I got a ton of silver hands on the board, maybe have a quartermaster on hand or a warhorse trainer. That's what I mean by this deck playing two ways. There are times when you can do well with silver hand, and stock up on murlocs for a fresh board, or vice versa. They don't blend well, but sometimes it works, makes trades kind of difficult for the other side. Don't worry about taking damage, You're gonna win some matches at 1 hp.

I also reserve avenge to salvage a warleader or horse trainer. They usually get traded first, and this one mana card can save them. Buffs are important to this deck, but there are a lot of them. A lot of versatility.

Also, people will concede. And they will get pissed, some reason people hate murlocs. Even though a good zoo deck or control mage will stomp this deck. Just how things are.
