==To win with this card==

* Give away control of "[[Dark Scorpion Burglars]]" (which is searchable via "[[Reinforcement of the Army]]") using "[[Shien's Spy]]", "[[Mystic Box]]" or "[[Creature Swap]]", then attack it multiple times with low-ATK monsters, such as the tokens spawned by "[[Hippo Carnival]]". Doing so will activate the effect of "Burglars", sending all 3 copies of this card from your Deck to the Graveyard.
** You can also use "[[Creature Swap]]" on a monster whose mandatory effect requires the opponent (now you) to send cards to the Graveyard, such as "[[Needle Worm]]", "[[Absorbing Jar]]", and especially "[[Dark Scorpion Burglars]]" (see below).
 
   
* Give control of "[[Dark Scorpion Burglars]]" to your opponent via a card such as "[[Shien's Spy]]", "[[Mystic Box]]" or "[[Creature Swap]]", then attack it multiple times with low-ATK monsters.

* Give away control of a face-down "[[Morphing Jar 2|Morphing Jar #2]]" and attack it, while your Deck has a low monster count. This way, you have a high chance of milling all 3 copies of this card using "Morphing Jar #2" as if it were your opponent's card.
** If you have any copies of this card in your hand before performing the combo, you can always activate them to shuffle them back into the Deck.
 
** Tokens are best suited for attacking "Burglars", but if "Burglars" is in Attack Position, use cards like "[[Wattdragonfly]]", "[[Troop Dragon]]" or "[[Stygian Security]]" that can Special Summon another monster from the Deck when they're destroyed.
 
** Alternatively, you can summon "[[Summoner Monk]]" and use his effect to special summon "Dark Scorpion Burglars". Next you can play "[[Double Summon]]" to Normal Summon a weak low-ATK monster that can special summon another weak monster from the Deck when they're destroyed. Then give "Dark Scorpion Burglars" to your opponent and attack into him.
 
 
==Traditional Format/''OCG''==
 
* With this card in your hand, give control of a face-down "[[Morphing Jar]]" to your opponent through a card like "[[Creature Swap]]". When it is flipped, the effect of this card will trigger. If you manage to gather all 3 copies of this card to your hand before pulling this off, you will win the Duel.
 
 
* In a Deck with extremely few monsters, give control of a face-down "[[Morphing Jar 2|Morphing Jar #2]]" to your opponent. When it is flipped while you control at least one monster, its effect will very likely send almost your entire Deck to the Graveyard, including 3 copies of this card, allowing you to win the Duel.
 
 
==As a counter against certain Decks==
 
* Use against an "[[Artifact]]" Deck as most run "[[Malevolent Catastrophe]]" to get off their own effects. At that time, any copies of this card you may have [[Set]] will trigger; if you have 3 of them, then you win the Duel.
 
 
* Use against a "[[Vampire]]" Deck, as their effects send cards from the opponent's Deck to the [[Graveyard]].
 
** Specifically, send a copy of this card when your opponent declares Spell Cards for their monsters' effects. This will discourage your opponent from declaring Spells later in the Duel, which is useful as many "Vampire" Decks are weak against strong Spell Cards like "[[Dark Hole]]".
 
 
<!-- TODO: Fix grammar below -->
 
* This card is useful against "[[Evigishki Tetrogre]]" as the opponent often use "[[Gishki Aquamirror]]" to bypass the cost of sending spell card to graveyard by returning it to deck and recycle their ritual monster.
 
 
* This card can be used to devastating effect against a player that uses "[[Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys]]."
 
** Use a destruction card like "Dark Hole" to destroy Nephthys and trigger its effect, then Set as many copies of this card as you can, forcing your opponent to destroy them during their own Standby Phase.
