Pff don't listen to these muta haters, I go surprise muta like 8 outa 10 ZvZ's past the 10 minute mark and I win almost every time, unless I was already at a disadvantage (ie took some bad bling hits). Your opponent will always just try to base race, so as your muta's pop, throw up 4-5 spines and start upping the roach numbers. Kill as many drones/queens as possible after showing the muta's then return with them to defend. You can even pick off infestors as they try to counterattack. Its a beautiful thing.
Edit: also, you don't need a giant flock with your whole strat being based on muta's, about 8 is fine. If they don't get an opportunity to do the damage predicted (drone kills), then run around popping overlords and killing extractors, you now have map control. Take a third, and mass roach w/ double upgrades pumping.

This is wrong. Please don't listen to this and fuck over your improvement. You will win (probably) a lot of gimmicky games. In lower leagues people will get caught off guard by mutas. Better players will not, however, and then you've wasted a bunch of gas on something that's basically useless. Stick to standard play. Yes, you can win with mutas at low levels, but I can win with fucking mass hydra if I want to at low level, it doesn't make it a good strategy.
Now, I'm not saying muta is bad, like I said, it can work if you really know what you're doing (nestea is playing around with this right now), but right now, you just don't need to worry about this.
