Dark Scorpion - Gorg the Strong DCR-060

Dark Scorpion - Gorg the Strong
Effect Monster (Warrior / DARK / 5 Stars / ATK 1800 / DEF 1500)

When this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points, you can select and activate 1 of the following effects:
"¢ Return 1 Monster Card on your opponent's side of the field to the top of its owner's Deck.
"¢ Send 1 card from the top of your opponent's Deck to the Graveyard.

Finally a Dark Scorpion that has some muscle! Unfortunately he's a 5 star and needs 1 tribute or some other help to hit the field. The effects are potentially useful but forcing the same bad monster to the top of your opponent's deck or forcing him to discard a card. And at 1800, he may actually do Battle Damage on his own. Being a 1 tribute though hurts esp. considering his stats. If you're going to run a Dark Scorpion deck, he should be there but again, for an average deck with the similar (not so great) requirements and abilities, "Mefist the Infernal General" would be the preferred choice. Next...

hmm.... Gorg... well, he is the strongest scorpion, but yeah, being a 5 star pains. using mustering of the dark scorpions is a good way to get him out... but its kinda useless unless you want to summon all of them and then activate dark scorpion combination. his effects are ok, but for the first one, more often than not, your opponent has to have two or more monsters on the field. the second one also pales in comparisson to don's and cliff's. (one card can make the ENTIRE difference)

i wonder what kind of play hed see if he had an ATK of, say, 2000-2300 instead? (and if hed be upgraded in rarity?)
