Talk:Maximum of 3 Rule

I BEG TO DIFFER! The official rule book says that "You can only have up to 3 copies of the same card in your Deck." However, Harpie Lady #1, 2, 3, Cyber Harpie Lady cards all say "This card's name is treated as "Harpie Lady"" Therefore, the card itself is not a copy of the same card as another Harpie card. In addition, the rule book also says: "Rules vs Card Effects: If there is a discrepancy between basic rules and a card's effect, the card's effect takes precedence." However, Harpie's effect does not go up against the rules and since there is no other rule that goes against you putting more than 3 cards that have the same name in a deck, I think it is possible to have up to 3 Harpie Lady 1 cards and 3 Cyber Harpie Lady cards in one deck. And anyways, harpies should be able to get together in one big flock inside a deck. :)

• The name of "Harpie Lady 1", "Harpie Lady 2", and "Harpie Lady 3" is treated as "Harpie Lady" for all purposes, including Deck construction. So you can have 2 copies of "Harpie Lady 1" in your Deck and 1 copy of "Harpie Lady 2", but not 2 copies of each because you would have 4 cards in your Deck treated as "Harpie Lady". This restriction also applies to your Side Deck, so if you have 3 monsters treated as "Harpie Lady" in your Deck, you cannot have any in your Side Deck. (Source).

Hey, am I allowed to have the following legally in my deck: 3 copies of "Yubel", 1 copy of "Yubel - Terror Incarnate", and 1 copy of "Yubel - The Ultimate Nightmare"? Having 5 is obviously key to my deck, I just wanna confirm.
