WIND Monsters have good capacity to Special Summon, and as such the Deck can be fast. Although some of the Monsters are weak, cards such as "[[Harpie Lady 1]]", "[[Bladefly]]", "[[Hunter Owl]]" and "[[Rising Air Current]]" can leave you with a field full of enormous Monsters. The tendency of WIND Monsters to destroy Spell and Trap cards ("[[Raiza the Storm Monarch]]" & "[[Harpies' Hunting Ground]]", even "[[Icarus Attack]]") leaves you able to attack in relative safety.
Many cards from various packs can be quite useful if made an addition to a "Harpie Lady" deck. Many WIND Monsters, such as "[[Hunter Owl]]", "[[Simorgh, Bird of Ancestry]]" and "[[Twin-Headed Behemoth]]", have useful effects that can help out in tough situations. In particular, "[[Stardust Dragon]]" fits perfectly into this type of deck: it is a high level WIND Monster, and its effect allows you to negate a destructive effect, such as that of "[[Dark Hole]]" each turn as long as you can keep reviving "Stardust Dragon" with its own effect, making it a great boost to the Deck's theme of destroying and negating your opponent's Spell and Trap cards. Also, it can be used as a instant [[Beatstick]] with "[[Starlight Road]]".
If a player is going to use [[Synchro Monster]]s, then they must use proper tuners. "[[Vortex the Whirlwind]]" is a level 5 [[Synchro Monster]] with a swarming effect. "[[Glow-Up Bulb]]" (traditional Format) is easily on of the best tuners to use as you can use it twice, or use "[[Foolish Burial]]" to send it to your Graveyard. "[[Mist Valley Soldier]]" can be used with a "Harpy" to make "Stardust Dragon", and, in an emergency, can be used with "[[Icarus Attack]]". "[[Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind]]" can be used with "[[Icarus Attack]]" and can cut in half an opponent's monster such as "[[Caius the Shadow Monarch]]", "[[Stardust Dragon]]", and even "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]]". More importantly, you can splash "[[Blackwing Armor Master]]", who is immune to crippling cards such as "[[Shrink]]" and "[[Honest]]", and "[[Black Rose Dragon]]", who can clear the field. "[[Dragunity Darkspear]]" can be used as either a substitute of "[[Monster Reborn]]" or used to summon the incredibly powerful "[[Dragunity Knight - Trident]]", who can eliminate the most popular archtypes in the game, such as "[[Gladiator Beast]]" and "[[Blackwings]]".
A possible card to use in this deck is "[[Inferno Reckless Summon]]". You can first use "[[Elegant Egotist]]", "[[Swallow's Nest]]" or "[[Hysteric Party]]" to Special Summon any "Harpie Lady" whose attack is 1500 or less after applying continuous effects. Then use the effect of "[[Inferno Reckless Summon]]" to summon more "Harpies". (You ''cannot'' use "[[Inferno Reckless Summon]]" with "Harpie Lady #1" because it will gain the extra 300 ATK instantly after being summoned to the field, but, should you Special Summon a different "Harpie Lady" such as "[[Harpie Lady 2]]" you would be able to use it as the target monster for "[[Inferno Reckless Summon]]'s" effect, and then Special Summon one or more "[[Harpie Lady 1]]".) You can use "[[Harpie Channeler]]" however to activate "[[Inferno Reckless Summon]]" since she has only 1400 Atk and is treated as "Harpie Lady" while on the field. Since many "Harpie" monsters are treated as "Harpie Lady," you can also use "[[Three of a Kind]]" to significantly clear the Field.
With Xyz monsters out and the release of new Harpie support cards coming out in [[Lord of the Tachyon Galaxy]], This archetype can have the ability to Xyz summon rank 4 monsters quick with "[[Harpie Channeler]]", "[[Elegant Egotist]]", and "[[Hysteric Party]]". "[[Harpie Channeler]]" (coming soon) can act like a "[[Summoner Monk]]" for Harpies with the cost of 1 Harpie card in your hand, setting up the graveyard for "[[Hysteric Party]]". [[Harpie Channeler]] can also summon out "[[Harpie's Pet Dragon]]" straight from your deck making it more easier to summon instead of tributing 2 monsters to summon it, also you can use "[[Harpie Channeler]]" and "[[Harpie's Pet Dragon]]" for an Xyz summon of a rank 7 monster like "[[Number 11: Big Eye]]". "[[Hysteric Sign]]" (coming soon) can help gain hand advantage by getting an "[[Elegant Egotist]]" from your hand or graveyard also can give you any 3 Harpie cards with a different name from your deck upon destruction giving a +3. You can use [[Harpies' Hunting Ground]] to destroy your "[[Hysteric Sign]]" to help get your combos out faster. "[[Harpie's Pet Mirage Dragon]]" is a new powerful Xyz monster (coming soon) that can be easily summoned with "[[Harpie Channeler]]", "Elegant Egotist", "Hysteric Party", and even "Rescue Rabbit" if your using "[[Harpie Lady]]" and/or "[[Harpie's Brother]]". "[[Harpie's Pet Mirage Dragon]]" while it has Xyz materials can attack directly also can protect your Harpie monsters from being targeted for attacks and by card effects, but you lose an Xyz material from this card during the end phase. Another powerful Xyz monster that can be easily summoned in a Harpie deck is "[[Lightning Chidori]]". Although not strong in ATK, "[[Lightning Chidori]]" Has a powerful effect of putting cards they control to their decks ruining their strategies and taking out their strongest monsters, also can give then a dead draw. Harpie monsters can have a capability of summoning rank 4 monsters that require 3 level 4 monsters with ease like "[[Number 16: Shock Master]]" and "[[Number 32: Shark Drake]]", and also can summon popular rank 4 monsters like "[[Number 39: Utopia]]". "[[Harpies' Hunting Ground]]" can be a powerful card by destroying Spell/Trap cards on the field that can hinder you from executing your combos, also can force your opponent to activate their set trap cards like "[[Bottomless Trap Hole]]", "[[Torrential Tribute]]", "[[Solemn Warning]]", etc before they be destroyed by "[[Harpies' Hunting Ground]]" although it puts the risk of our own Spell/Trap cards. "[[Harpies' Hunting Ground]]" can also be searched by "[[Terraforming]]", "[[Hysteric Sign]]" and "[[Harpie Queen]]" (Sending "[[Harpie Queen]]" to the graveyard sets up the graveyard for "[[Hysteric Party]]").
Other good cards you can add to a Harpie Deck is "[[Effect Veiler]]", "[[Fiendish Chain]]", and "[[Breakthrough Skill]]". These effect negation cards can help patch up weaknesses to Harpies while Harpie Decks have the advantage with spell/trap removal. "[[Breakthrough Skill]]" have a very high potential to use than "[[Effect Veiler]]" and "[[Fiendish Chain]]" due to it's second effect letting you negate a monster's effect by banishing this card from your graveyard (cannot be used on the same turn that this is sent to the graveyard), also this card can be useful against effect monsters powerful effects such as "[[Rescue Rabbit]]", "[[Tour Guide from the Underworld]]", "[[Neo-Spacian Grand Mole]]", "[[Wind-Up Zenmaines]]", "[[Leviair the Sea Dragon]]", "[[Number 39: Utopia]]", "[[Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En]]", etc. "[[Breakthrough Skill]]" can also help against anti-special summoning monsters like "[[Archlord Kristya]]" to give you a chance to special summon monsters the turn you used it. "[[Divine Wrath]]" can also be a usable card, although you must discard 1 card in your hand, this card can stop monster effects that "[[Breakthrough Skill]]", "[[Effect Veiler]]" and "[[Fiendish Chain]]" cannot stop, such as "[[Effect Veiler]]", "[[Gorz the Emissary of Darkness]]", "[[Sangan]]", etc.
==Weaknesses==
Harpies are capable of swarming the field making mass destruction cards like "[[Dark Hole]]", "[[Torrential Tribute]]", "[[Black Rose Dragon]]" and "[[Mirror Force]]" very deadly against this archetype. "[[Bottomless Trap Hole]]" is also a dangerous card that can be used on your Harpies special summoned by "[[Hysteric Party]]", causing all of them to be destroyed and banished if they have 1500 or more ATK. "[[Harpies' Hunting Ground]]" can solve most of these problems, also counter trap cards like "[[Dark Bribe]]", "[[Solemn Judgment]]", and "[[Seven Tools of the Bandit]]" can help with these problems too. Anti-Special summon monsters like "[[Archlord Kristya]]" and the Vanity monsters can also cause problems to this Archetype. you can use monster removal cards like "[[Icarus Attack]]" and "[[Spiritual Wind Art - Miyabi]]" can help with those problems.
"[[Poisonous Winds]]" is a deadly weakness to all Wind decks, also if you use it you are kind of a dbag sooo don't hate on people running harpie decks. "[[Dimensional Fissure]]" And "[[Macro Cosmos]]" can prevent Harpies from hitting the graveyard, Preventing the use of "[[Hysteric Party]]" and "[[Harpie Queen]]"'s effect. "[[Harpies' Hunting Ground]]", "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]", "[[Heavy Storm]]", and "[[Dust Tornado]]" can solve these problems. "[[Prohibition]]" can shut down Harpie Ladies and most of their of there support cards, although it does not prevent "[[Harpie Queen]]" and "[[Harpie Channeler]]" from being summoned and it can be destoyed by "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]".
