I personally prefer Dark Scorpions myself. The fact that they are all Dark (Mystic Plasma Zone) and Warrior (A.Forces) means they have a certain synergy E-heros lack. Being extremely searchable (thanks to Meanae) the entire deck capitalizes on the decks varying abilities and ultimately swarm thanks to Mustering of the Dark Scorpions. Mustering is searchable by Meanae, can potentially fill the field with warriors and get Gorg out for no tribute.
I will take a closer look at the individual parts of ther deck.
Don Zaluug - the boss, he is in many decks for his versatility and hand control or 2 cards from deck.
Cliff the Trap Remover - anti-stall in that damage can destroy any m/t on the field or 2 cards from deck.
Meanae the Thorn - the recruiter,she can search out any Dark Scorpion support card including Mustering of the Dark Scorpions and the trap Dark Scorpion Combination. She can retrive from deck or grave to hand and is the heart of the deck.
Chick the Yellow - with Makyura the Destructor (also a dark warrior) and Call of the Haunted he had his own 1 turn kill because of his ability to return any card on the field to the hand of its owner when he inflicts damage. Also able to see 1 card on top of your opponent's deck.
Gorg the Strong - Strong yes, at 1800 he is stronger than any of the other Dark Scorpions. However, strong yes, smart no. Has 2 of the worst effects tying with Chick. He can return 1 monster on the field to its owners hand or send 1 card from the top of the deck to the grave. He clears the way for the weaker Scorpions similar to how Cliff does for Gorg.
Now before moving on I'd like to point out that between Don, Cliff and Gorg you can send 5 cards from the top of their deck to the grave and with Chick see the next one. You take away their options with these guys.
Also there is the monster Dark Scorpion Burgulars which I shall explain below:
it is a monster with the same stats as Chick, and it is similar to Vlords "you opponent chooses 1 card of a type to send from their deck to the grave" only it has been decided that it is a spell for you. Not a bad card to have just not compatible with Combination.
Mustering of the Dark Scorpions - the swarm of the deck, retrivable from deck or grave by Meanae and swarming up to 4 monsters to the field if you have this in your hand and Don Zaluug on the field. This also make A.Forces playable as with this and a Don and a drop of 2 or 3 Dark Scorpions you can give everyong up to a 1000 attack boost for a full field. A 2400 attack Don is a scary thing, but what about a 2800 attack Gorg?
And finally Dark Scorpion Combination, a trap that requires Don, Cliff, Meanae, Chick and Gorg on the field to activate. Each one gets to attack directly but the total damage will only be 2000 meaning each Scorpion is only allowed to do 400 damage with the activation of this card. Not bad if you activate every one of there effects. Up to a possible 5 cards from the top of their deck and retrive Combination to do it again while getting a look at their next move.
I guess if you substistute Dark Scorpion Burglars for Chick you can send up to 6 cards from their deck to the grave, just can't activate Combination. A.forces + Mustering = a team of beatsticks that can do more than just damage. I'll let some one else explain the E-heros.
