Standard Compositions: Murlocs
These different compositions are meant to display proven setups to strive for, for the very end game (top 4 and above). In general one of the seven slots will be the 'flex' spot, used to cycle new minions during the tavern rounds. Therefore, your actual board will rarely be as perfect as these listed here. Of course as many minions as possible should be tripled (the exception being minions with Divine Shield or Venomous) and buffed with Reborn, Venomous, Divine Shield or Taunt.
If you got a build that buffs multiple minions via Rock Rock, Nalaa the Redeemer, or Greymane's Champion, the ideal cards you should be looking for should have a special effect such as Cleave or Divine Shield. Alternatively look for unique effects like Impulsive Trickster or Wildfire Elemental. But in general, just buff any card. Don't roll for the ideal, it can cost you the game to desperately try to find them. You want to scale early, not later.
Also primary support units like Brann and Tichondrius will usually be tossed for the very last fights, but are sometimes displayed here when being integral to the setup. If one of your units is lacking, it is also often beneficial to replace it with a Leeroy the Reckless or a Transmuted Bramblewitch, before a deciding fight.
With the buddy meta active also keep in mind that many buddies can be very powerful and therefore your buddy will often replace the weakest minion in your composition.

Murloc Starter Kit Composition
This is basically a composition to start out Murlocs before you start switching the cards into more endgame like the two builds below. You're going to use Fairy Gillmother as a way to find and search for not only battlecries for 'Loc Prince, but Bream Counter. Once you find Bream Counter, then you start finding Bassgill or Diremuck Forager. If you don't get Bream Counter then you use the battlecries gained to buff up your other Murlocs. Eventually, if you can't get them strong enough you get Operatic Belcher to give them venomous.
Battlecry Comp
Buffs the board but can also support one or two Bream Counter by playing/cycling lots of Murlocs. Keep Young Murk-Eye between two battlecries as they stack with Brann. Ideally, you want to have the 'handloc' package of Bassgill, Choral Mrrrglr, and Bream Counter.
Handloc Comp
Heavily depends on growing one or two Bream Counter in your hand or your venom carrying you to victory (don't play this against Undead). Diremuck Forager is a good alternative to Bassgil. Constantly recycle Murlocs so Bream Counter gets buffed.
Titus Rivendare is very good for synergy with Operatic Belcher and Bassgill.
