Multiple Squads are broken. It's a slow draw engine, but you basically draw multiple times each turn, even on the opponent's turn when you typically never draw.

I guess so. It is worth trying.

One of the advantages of playing supply squad is that it is MST bait, protecting your other stuff on the backrow.
Not really multiple times per turn, each copy only gives you 1 draw per turn.
Any other destruction that happens after this won't net you the +'s.

Just one question... if you have 3 supply squads faced up... do you get 3 draws with one monster destroyed?

Yes but just that.
You don't get the draws for every monster just the first one destroyed.

Well... it is still good to have a draw for a destroyed monster.

Suppy Squad is (IMO) best in things with floater monsters or combo decks. Yang Zing for example, lots of floaters, also likes to have combo pieces in hand. Supply and the Yang Zings thin to gather combo pieces.

I guess it'll fall under combo decks, but decks that destroy their own monsters easily benefit from Supply Squad more immediately. If you think about it, most of those plays/effects cover themselves so you're not coming out with a neg in card economy, BUT with Supply Squad(s) active, getting each of them off at least twice means you're already plussing (that's what I mean by multiple times Chris).
It's kinda like how Six Sams were plussing off of Gateway and United by merely Summoning more Six Sams, which they do naturally already. In the case of Fire Kings and Archfiends, they have plays that typically destroys their monster already so they just augment it with free card draws, and if they have recovered at least one card from Squad, they will be plussing no matter what afterwards. If the opponent wastes an MST, you already +1'd from that. If they let it around long enough, you'll be rolling in extra cards each turn they abstained from getting rid of it, so it's a lose-lose situation for them (unless of course you drew badly and couldn't get more monsters out somehow).

How an MST there is a +1? I can see the logic and I guess that, after all, this year's starter deck has a good card in it

It's in the grand scheme of things, if you've already gotten a draw off of Squad, MST just helps simplify things for you. You replaced Squad already so the opponent is just losing a card "for nothing" basically.

It seems good in grind decks, however against otk decks, you might want to side it out unless you have the backrow to deal with what they have.

Yang Zing are very grindy. Can not wait for them to hit the TCG.

But yeah, I got that point
