[center]Discuss their possible applications in the current format (and nothing along the lines of "They suck" or "should not be used". I want meaningful discussion about these cards, not a bash fest).[/center]

well the dark scorpion deck currently use this meta is tier 2 at best. It could be tier 1 if they got some of the cards from the gx manga.

The thing about them is, half of their effects are milling opponent's cards, which I actually liked when I used Cliff the Trap Remover in my Decks waaaaaay back in the day. Nowadays that's hardly a harmful effect at all. It's actually benefical for certain opponents.

As for the other effects.
-Meanae the Thorn = Searcher
-Chick the Yellow = Compulsory.
-Gorg the Strong = Phoenix Wing Wind Blast.
-Cliff = Breaker
-Don Zaloog = ummm the leader? I remember he was good back then, but I can only think of his effects as gradually less and less useful as time passes. It's either less than an Iron Chain Dragon, or a discard effect.... I don't see the use at all except for that Spell that Summons all of them, when you have Don Zaloog out, but then again, Ultimate Offering is most likely better for that task.

Most of them have nice effects, but their ATK is underwhelming, and they all need to battle to be useful. even the Trap that makes them all attack directly is a bit too specific. They could use Mystic Plasma Zone and Solidarities, but still....

I like their strategy though. It was fun to play them.
