Making Use of Mai's Monsters; Creating a decent Harpie Deck

The Harpie Deck was first introduced by Mai Valentine in the anime, and a few Harpie cards were released in Metal Raiders (Harpie Lady, Harpie Lady Sisters, and Elegant Egotist). All three of those cards sucked immensely, and the Harpie Deck saw no play until, finally, some Harpie support cards were released.

They started with the promo Harpie's Pet Dragon. This 2000-atk 7-star monster gained 300 atk points for every Harpie Lady on the field for a maximum of 2900 atk (3800 if your opponent's running Harpies, but the odds of that are slim). Not exactly great. Then came Cyber Harpie Lady, Harpie Ladies 1, 2, and 3, and Harpie's Hunting Ground. Oh, and Triangle Ecstasy Spark. Thus, Harpies are actually approaching playability. They'll never hit Tier 1, but they could be a nice, fun deck to play.

The basic Harpie Lady is a 4-star with 1300 atk. Absolutely pathetic. Cyber Harpie has a nice 1800-atk, which makes it a near beatstick. Harpie Lady 1 negates flip effects, 2 powers up winds by 300, and 3 is a nice stall card. I like Cyber Harpies the best.

Hunting Ground powers up Harpies by 200 and, whenever a Harpie is summoned, allows you to destroy a spell or trap. Harpie's Brother doesn't really count, but is an 1800 atk Wind monster. Bird Face lets you add a Harpie Lady or Harpie Lady Sisters to your hand.

Have fun building your own Harpie Deck! It would be a fun deck to run, I'm sure. I'll post a sample one later in the Deck Discussion forum.

BTW: Konami REALLY needs to release "Harpie Lady Sparrow Formation" and "Harpie Lady Phoenix Formation."

Yes, harpies are an interesting lot. As stated, they will never see much action in the dueling world. But they can be fun in mess around, fun duels.
It is totally not recommended to try and enter a tournemet using a harpie deck. You won't even make it past round one most likely. They just don't have what it takes to succeeed.
It is possible though that more harpie liek cards will be released soon, such as something like the "Harpie Lady Sparrow Formation" and "Harpie Lady Phoenix Formation" as seen in teh show. it will probably (if released) not be the same effect, but it ill be along those lines.

Yeah, they aren't tournament worthy. I posted a sample Harpie Deck.

actually, the funny thing is that if konami ever removes the STUPID ruling on the harpies, they would be playable, and while not tier, they would be formidable. harpie hunting ground becomes LETHAL when next to every card in your deck is a harpie, and with monster in the field powering you up as well....

this would free up deck space from the use of magical destruction, granting more creature control, letting the normally low harpie attacks to the job needed.

but konami will never let us have fun, thus why they break harpies, and leave chaos unchecked.

Of course, they'd have to be consistent, which means they'd have to let people run Umi x3 and ALO x3. Of course, I really don't think that would be a problem. My ALO deck runs very smoothly without 3 Umis, and I'd rather have 3 ALO and a Terraforming than 3 ALO, 3 Umi, and 3 Terraforming (which some people would do).

So yeah, it would be great if Konami changed the Harpie ruling.

well, the odd thing is, they're NOT being consistent with that ruling. since an effect monster has no effect until cameplay starts, only cards that have the ruling of one per deck, banned, or two per deck should be considered during deck construction. and i say, LET them have 3 umi and 3 ALO, since you can only have one out at a time, and it powers up opponent's mons too, what's the harm?

konami, if you read this: IF IT AIN'T BROKE, QUIT FIXING IT!!

Their reason is that they aren't the sharpest crayons in the box (don't you just LOVE that saying?)

Nah, they do it to spite us. Plus they probably aren't much of expets on the game, they just make everything up as they go along.

If they at ALL knew the game, they never would have created Chaos Emperor Dragon, BLS-Envoy, Yata, Breaker, etc.
