Strategy

 * "Why are these monkeys throwing bananas at me?" - Jaina, Tutorial

King Mukla is a very powerful card with a very low cost which can devastate the early game in your favor. The trade-off for this is that your opponent will receive two Bananas which can be used to buff their minions by 1/1 for 1 mana each; they can also be useful for triggering a Combo, or to increase the card count in their hand for cards like Twilight Drake.

King Mukla is best played when your opponent has no minions, as the Bananas will otherwise make it even easier for the opponent to remove Mukla from the board.

The Banana cards can also be used to your advantage. Minions such as Goblin Sapper and Clockwork Giant can benefit from the opponent's increased hand size. Forcing your opponent to overdraw and lose cards in their deck is also made easier by the Bananas.

Mukla is much more effective when paired up with the druid quest Jungle Giants. Furthermore, Mukla can also be summoned by Oaken Summons which negates Mukla's battlecry.
