With
This card has good stats along with the Frenzy trait for his cost. However, his ability is what makes him shine in a Gargantuar deck and a Conjuring deck, as most Gargantuars are generally able to leave a major impact by turn 6 and beyond. Additionally, Gargantuar cards with the ability to destroy multiple plants at once such as Supernova Gargantuar and Zombot 1000 work well with King of the Grill, because you will be able to Conjure lots of Gargantuar cards, although this can lead to the player being milled due to having 10 cards in their hand which prevents their Super-Block Meter from dismissing any attacks,
Each Beastly hero has their their ways of using this card well:
The Smash has access to Gargologist, which offers a cost reduction to King of the Grill and many of the Gargantuar cards he could conjure. He could also use health-boosting cards like Camel Crossing to help let his Gargantuars take more damage, allowing them to Conjure even more Gargantuar cards. King of the Grill even works with his signature superpower, Slammin' Smackdown, due to it being in the Gargantuar tribe as well.
Electric Boogaloo can use damaging tricks such as Bungee Plumber and Final Mission to weaken the plants severely, making it more likely for him to gain a gourmet card. He can also finish off weaker plants with Zombot's Wrath to earn a Gargantuar card.
Immorticia can use Teleport to play him on a lane filled with weak plants to allow easy card Conjuring and to hit the plant hero hard. She can also combine King of the Grill or any other Conjured Gargantuars with Wizard Gargantuar to give them the Bullseye trait, preventing the plant hero from blocking their attacks.
Brain Freeze can use this with Dr. Spacetime to reduce the cost of the Conjured Gargantuar cards or move him with Smoke Bomb into a lane filled with weak plants. He also has access to Cursed Gargolith, which can hide all Gargantuars in Gravestones and protect them from most tricks.
Here is the list of cards that King of the Grill can Conjure:
However, if you are using him to Conjure cards, then although he can Conjure useful cards such as Supernova Gargantuar or Cursed Gargolith, he may also give cards that don't help with the situation at hand, such as Zombot 1000 or Gargantuars' Feast when there are not enough brains to play it.
Against
Stat-wise, King of the Grill is a dangerous zombie. His ability will allow the zombie hero to earn free Gargantuar cards and it also allows all Gargantuars to do the same, especially Supernova Gargantuar and Zombot 1000, which can quickly lead to things going out of hand. The best counter is to destroy him with tricks like Squash, Doom-Shroom, and Shamrocket before your opponent plays other dangerous Gargantuars. In the case of Supernova Gargantuar, using Molekale can lessen the impact of Supernova Gargantuar. In the case of Zombot 1000, consider playing a few plants first and then retaliating, or finishing the game before it can be played.
