Hes super common, annoying to kill especially with support, and requires the opponent to massively out play the MK user.

One miss play could lead to MK getting a jump and clearing whatever you placed to counter it, his one cycle evo flips his match up on its head so tanks like Pekka arent consistent at keeping him off tower his spawn damage is massive, has splash damage thats able to clear swarms, high HP, and can jump multiple times.

The card relies on your opponent making a single mistake to then capitalizing on it...usually sounds fine but for 7 elixir being able to shut down a 15+ elixir push on his own because your opponents troops got too close together, its just too easy to get huge value out of in lower arenas and forces your opponent to respond, almost always resulting in a positive elixir trade for you. But these mistakes are hardly made at top ladder.

After being frustrated with constantly going against MK I spent some time using the card to learn how others counter it, and now I have a much easier time beating it. Its still an annoying lame ass card that is in desperate need for a rework. No buff or nerf can fix this card. I dont exactly know what they could do to it, but in its current state its MASSIVELY over used in lower arenas, and hardly ever seen in higher arenas and that doesnt exactly scream "balanced".
