Most, if not all, of the cards with the mutation ability has the discard attribute to balance their potential drawing power. The clan itself pulls out a lot of cards from deck in various ways (drawing, soul charging, top deck to damage, etc) and doesn't have any deck recyclers.

The mutation ability adds more risks of decking out to the playstyle of the clan just to give you various offense and/or resource advantages. However, this clan doesn't have any battle phase callers other than "Red Goblin Traitor" and "Venom Soldier, Tanutan", so they cannot abuse this mechanic too much.
