"'''Harpie'''" (ハーピィ ''Hāpyi'') is an [[archetype]] composed of [[List of female cards|femaleWIND]] [[Winged BeastDragon]]-and [[TypeWinged Beast]] [[Monster Card|monsters]]. "[[Harpie's BrotherMai Valentine]]" is not a Harpie, since his Japanese name is "Birdman" uses this archetype in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (バードマン ''Bādoman''anime)|anime]] and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (manga)|manga]].

==Maximum When "Harpies" were released (some of 3 Rule==Harpie Ladies usually have the phrase first monsters released that would later become an official archetype), they didn''This card's name is treated as "Harpie Lady"t have much support. From '' in their effect text. Their name is also treated as "[[Harpie LadyRise of Destiny]]'' onward, however, " while in the playerHarpies" became more balanced and powerful with occasional support cards released. ''s [[Main Deck|Structure Deck: Lord of the Storm]]; a player can only have a combination of 3 '' has aided this archetype with cards whose name is treated such as "Harpie Lady" in their Deck. "[[Harpie QueenHysteric Party]]" and "[[Harpie Channeler's Pet Baby Dragon]]" are the exception to this rule, since its effect only has her name treated as "while also featuring a lot of other Harpie Lady" while she is on the [[Playing Field|field]] and -related cards in the [[Graveyard]]it. However this also mean that they are the only "Harpie Lady" that can't be searched by Afterwards, "[[BirdfaceHarpie Queen]]" or "was released in ''[[Elegant EgotistForce of the Breaker]]" but can be searched by '', providing ways to search "[[Harpie ChannelerHarpies' Hunting Ground]]".

"Harpie Ladies" With the release of ''[[Lord of the Tachyon Galaxy]]'', Harpies get some tremendous boost, while also solidifies the deck's focus of maintaining advantage and Xyz Summoning. "[[Harpie Lady 1|1Channeler]]"is essentially become the main card in all Harpie-based decks, as she can Special Summon another Harpie monster from the Deck while also assists Xyz Summoning of Rank 4 or 7, while "[[Harpie Lady 2|2Hysteric Sign]]", and helps searching either "[[Harpie Lady 3|3Elegant Egotist]]"or any Harpie cards you may need, depending on how you use it. The Xyz Monster in addition to this archetype, "[[Cyber Harpie Lady's Pet Phantasmal Dragon]]"can protect your other Harpie monsters from attacks or targeting effects, are treated along with direct-attacking ability as if their name is "Harpie Lady" at all times for all rules of the game, including in the Deck, hand and Side Deckwell.

==Media appearances==''[[FileLegendary Collection 4:HarpiesDM30Joey's World]]'' provides more support for this archetype (while also reprinting important "Harpie"-related cards).png|thumb|left|The effect of "[[Harpie Lady SistersDancer]]" alongside can be utilized for reaping more benefits from "[[HarpieHarpies's Pet DragonHunting Ground]]" in , or providing more swarming capabilities when coupled with "[[Duelist KingdomDivine Wind of Mist Valley]]".]]In They also have the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (second series anime)|anime]]Spell Card, the "Harpies" are the signature cards of [[Mai Valentine]]. She often begins with one "Harpie" card and uses support cards to accessorize and multiply it. [[Joey WheelerLady Phoenix Formation]] also used some "Harpie" cards as a reminder , which can clear the opponent's field of his promise to save Mai monsters, but disallows the player from her [[Penalty Game]]Special Summoning monsters from your Deck, Graveyard and skipping their Battle Phase.

A ==[[Maximum of 3 Rule]]=="[[Harpie Lady1]]", " also appears as a Duel Monster Spirit in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GXHarpie Lady 2]]''. She battles ", "[[Jesse AndersonHarpie Lady 3]] " and his "[[Crystal Beast Sapphire PegasusCyber Harpie Lady]]" have the [[name condition]] "''(This card's name is always treated as "Harpie Lady".)''". That same Since they all have their name treated as "Harpie Lady" later uses everywhere, including while in the effect player's [[Main Deck|Deck]], a player can only have a total of 3 of any of these cards and/or the [[Normal Monster]] "Harpie Lady"in their Main Deck and their [[Elegant EgotistSide Deck]]combined (for example, 1 "Harpie Lady" to multiply into 3, but they were defeated by 1 "Sapphire PegasusCyber Harpie Lady" , and 1 "[[Crystal Beast Topaz Tiger|Topaz Tiger]]Harpie Lady 2").

In ''"[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D Bonds Beyond TimeHarpie Queen]]''" and other "Harpies" released after have an effect that treats their own name as "Harpie Lady" while they are on the field or in the Graveyard. However, at since they are treated as their original name in the site of [[Maximillion Pegasus]]'s tournamentDeck, one it is possible to have up to 3 of the spectators cosplays each in addition to 3 cards whose name is treated as a "Harpie Lady"in the Deck.

==Media appearances==In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force(anime)|anime]]'' series, the "Harpies" are the signature cards of [[JasmineMai Valentine]] plays a . She often begins with one "Harpie" card and uses support cards to accessorize and multiply it. [[Joey Wheeler]] also used some "Harpie" Deckcards as a reminder of his promise to save Mai from her [[Penalty Game]].

When A "HarpiesHarpie Lady" were released, they were an archetype without also appears as a lot of support (however, they were also the first fleshed-out archetype). However, with the release of Duel Monster Spirit in ''[[Rise of DestinyYu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'', "Harpies" became a more balanced and powerful archetype. Since then, ''She battles [[Structure Deck 8: Lord of the StormJesse Anderson]]'' has aided the "Harpie" archetype with cards such as and his "[[Hysteric PartyCrystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus]]". Furthermore, That same "[[Harpie Queen]]Lady" later uses the effect of " was released in ''[[Force of the BreakerElegant Egotist]]''" to multiply into 3, but they were defeated by "Sapphire Pegasus" and "[[Cyber ShieldCrystal Beast Topaz Tiger|Topaz Tiger]]" was reintroduced as a common card in ''[[Storm of Ragnarok]]''.

In ''[[Lord of the Tachyon GalaxyAlexis Rhodes]]'', "Harpies" gain new members and support, including the release of the first Harpie [[Xyz MonsterJasmine]], "and [[Harpie's Pet Mirage DragonMindy]]", which is capable of attacking directly dress up as well as protecting your other the "HarpieLady Sisters" monsters from attacks and targeting effects, as long as it has in [[Xyz Material]]. Also introduced is "[[Harpie Channeler]]", which can Special Summon "Harpie" monsters straight from your Deck by discarding 1 "Harpie" monster from your hand, as well as open up Rank 7 plays through it's levelYu-Gi-changing effect. Additionally, a new Spell Card is introduced called "[[Hysteric Sign]]", which can search for "[[Elegant EgotistOh! GX]]" and, upon destruction, add 3 "Harpie" monsters with different names from your Deck straight to your hand.

==Censoring==In ''[[File:HarpieLadyYu-JPGi-Anime-DM-NC.png|thumb|"[[Harpie LadyOh! 3D Bonds Beyond Time]]" in Japanese version]]Most "Harpies" in '', at the international release site of the game, including all language prints except Japanese, and in the anime have been edited to appear to wear bodysuits while in the Japanese versions they wear much more revealing clothing. "[[Cyber Harpie LadyMaximillion Pegasus]]" and "[[Harpie Lady Sisters]]" have had the spikes extruding from their armor removed due to the suggestiveness. However's tournament, some earlier printings one of the spectators cosplays as a few of the "Harpie" cards outside of Japan (Specifically the original "Harpie Lady" and "Harpie Girl") were printed without being censored.

==Play style=="Harpies" combine the ability to be rapidly summoned, to destroy the opponentIn ''s Spell and Trap Cards, to increase each others attack points and abilities, and to work together to protect each other. They do not have the ability to destroy Spell and Trap cards innately, but the Field Spell Card "[[Harpies' Hunting GroundYu-Gi-Oh! The Falsebound Kingdom]]" allows '', the controller Harpie Ladies are given names, each based on those of the summoned three Harpie or harpies to destroy one Spell or Trap Card when a "sisters from Greek mythology:*[[Harpie Lady" card is Summoned in any way. They are one of the very few cards that can be Summoned ''en masse''' 1]] - Airo (from the Graveyard through the effect of "[[Hysteric Partywikipedia:Aello|Aello]], ". Their support cards, storm swift")*[[Harpie's Pet Baby DragonLady 2]]" and "- Ocupete (from [[Harpie's Pet Dragonwikipedia:Ocypete|Ocypete]]", rapidly gain in power and usefulness through effects including protecting other "Harpie" cards and card destruction as the "Harpies" swarm the field. Properly played, "Harpies" can overwhelm the opponent in moments with high attack power and powerful effects, but they are individually not too strong, so they are vulnerable to opponents who Summon strong single Monsters early to whittle down the number of swift wing"Harpies" on the field.)<!*[[Harpie Lady 3]] -- NOTEKeraino (from [[wikipedia: Celaeno|Celaeno]], "Hysteric Party" works just like "Call of the Haunteddark" as you can use it's effect just once, then it sits useless on the field. The discarding a card is an Activation Cost required to activate the card initially, not an ignition effect. -->)

WIND Monsters have good capacity to Special Summon, and as such In the Deck can be fast. Although some of the Monsters are weak, cards such as "''[[Harpie Lady 1Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force]]", "[[Bladefly]]"'' series, "[[Hunter OwlJasmine]]" and "[[Rising Air Current]]" can leave you with plays a field full of enormous Monsters. The tendency of WIND Monsters to destroy Spell and Trap cards ("[[Raiza the Storm Monarch]]Harpie" & "[[Harpies' Hunting Ground]]", even "[[Icarus Attack]]") leaves you able to attack in relative safetyDeck.

A weakness of this deck is that most of the time your cards target all WIND Monsters, and not just your own, such as the ATK boost from cards like "===Censorship===[[File:HarpieLady-JP-Anime-DM-NC.png|left|thumb|"Harpie Lady 1" in the Japanese version]]Most "Harpies" in the international release of the game, "[[Bladefly]]"including all language prints except Japanese, and "[[Rising Air Current]]"in the anime have been edited to appear to wear bodysuits while in the Japanese versions they wear much more revealing clothing. This makes commonly played cards like "[[Elemental Hero StratosCyber Harpie Lady]]" and "[[Raiza Harpie Lady Sisters" have had the Storm Monarch]]" benefit spikes extruding from your own card effects. You may also add Monster-destroying cards such as "[[Fissure]]" & [[Icarus Attack]]". Since WIND Monsters usually have low ATK, they may not able their armor removed due to destroy today's commonly used Monstersthe suggestiveness. However, support from some earlier printings of a few of the new "Harpie" cards can be very powerfuloutside of Japan (specifically the original "Harpie Lady" and "Harpie Girl") were printed without being censored.

Many cards from various packs can ==Playing style=="Harpies" combine the ability to be quite useful if made an addition rapidly summoned, destroy the opponent's Spell and Trap Cards, and increase their own attack points. More recent Harpie support also places a focus on returning themselves and other monsters to a "Harpie Lady" deckthe hand. Many WIND MonstersThey do not have the ability to destroy Spell and Trap cards innately, but their Field Spell Card, such as "[[Hunter OwlHarpies' Hunting Ground]]"allows them to destroy a Spell or Trap Card each time a "Harpie Lady" card is Summoned in any way, in addition to their iconic "[[Simorgh, Bird of AncestryHarpie's Feather Duster]]" and . They can be Summoned from the Graveyard in large numbers through the effect of "[[Twin-Headed BehemothHysteric Party]]", . They also have useful effects that can help out in tough situations. In particular, access to "[[Stardust DragonHarpie's Feather Storm]]" 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 one of "the most powerful [[Dark HoleTraps]]" each in the game that completely shuts down the opponent's monster effects for an entire turn as long as you can keep reviving . Properly played, "Stardust DragonHarpies" with its own effect, making it a great boost to can overwhelm the Deck's theme of destroying and negating your opponent's Spell in moments with high attack power and Trap cards. Alsopowerful effects, but they are not strong individually, it so they are vulnerable to opponents who can be used as a instant [[Beatstick]] with "[[Starlight Road]]"overpower them, or destroy all of them at once.

If a player is going to use Cards like "[[Synchro MonsterHarpie Channeler]]s", then they must use proper tuners. "[[Vortex the WhirlwindElegant Egotist]]" is a level 5 , [[Synchro MonsterSummoner Monk]] with a swarming effect. ", and "Hysteric Party" allow the Deck to Summon multiple Harpies quickly and Summon multiple monsters from the [[Glow-Up BulbExtra Deck]]" . Their main boss monster is easily on of the best tuners to use as you can use it twice, or use "[[Foolish BurialSynchro]]" to send it to your Graveyard. "[[Mist Valley SoldierCyber Slash Harpie Lady]]" which can be used with a use any "Harpy" to make "Stardust Dragon", and, in an emergency, can be used with Harpie"monster as a [[Icarus AttackTuner]]". "The deck can also Summon Rank 4 and Rank 7 [[Blackwing - Gale the WhirlwindXyz Monsters]]" can be used with ", or various [[Icarus AttackLink Monster|Link Monsters]]" and can cut in half an opponent's monster such as . Some popular Xyz Monsters include "[[Caius the Shadow MonarchIce Beast Zerofyne]]", "[[Stardust DragonLightning Chidori]]", and even "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal DragonNumber 11: Big Eye]]". More importantly, you can splash and "[[Blackwing Armor MasterMecha Phantom Beast Dracossack]]", who is immune to crippling cards such as . Link monsters include "[[ShrinkHarpie Conductor]]" and , "[[HonestGreatfly]]", and "[[Black Rose DragonSimorgh, Bird of Sovereignty]]", who . Harpies can clear easily perform the field. "[[Dragunity DarkspearNumber 39: Utopia Double|Utopia Double]]" OTK against any monster with 2000 or less ATK (this can be used as either a substitute of further utilized with "[[Monster RebornPentestag]]" or used to summon the incredibly powerful "[[Dragunity Knight - TridentOTK]]", who can eliminate the most popular archtypes in the game, such as "[[Gladiator Beast]]" and "[[Blackwings]]"over monsters with 2000 or less DEF).

A possible Harpies also excel at generating card to use in this deck is "[[Inferno Reckless Summon]]"advantage. You can first use "[[Elegant Egotist]]", "[[SwallowHarpie's NestFeather Rest]]" or acts similarly to "[[Hysteric Party]]" to Special Summon any "Harpie Lady" whose attack is 1500 or less after applying continuous effects. Then use the effect Pot of "[[Inferno Reckless SummonAvarice]]" to summon more "Harpies". (You ''cannot'' use "[[Inferno Reckless SummonHysteric Sign]]" with "Harpie Lady #1" because it will gain the extra 300 ATK instantly after being summoned can search up to 3 cards in the field, but, should you Special Summon a different "Harpie Lady" such as "[[Harpie Lady 2End Phase]]" you would be able to use it as , including the target monster for powerful "[[Inferno Reckless Summon]]Harpie'sFeather Duster" effect, and then Special Summon one or more "[[Harpie Lady 1]]'s Feather Storm".) You can use "[[Harpie ChannelerWing Requital]]" however is also an option to activate "[[Inferno Reckless Summon]]" since she has only 1400 Atk and is treated as "Harpie Lady" while draw even more cards when any two Harpies with different original names are 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]]"). ==Weaknesses==Despite the motliness in tactics that "Harpie"s are capable of, there are still Achilees heels witin this archetype that can be capitalized on. For instance, Harpie monsters, except "[[Cyber Harpie Lady]]" and "[[Harpie Queen]]", are generally low in original ATK and can easily get run over by powerful monsters and are also vaunerable to "[[King Tiger Wanghu]]" and "[[Deck Devastation Virus]]" . You can add "[[Harpie Lady 1]]", "[[Bladefly]]", and "[[Rising Air Current]]" to avoid these problems, although those cards can also benefit your opponent's wind monsters. 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 Recommended 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 "[[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]]". ==Recommended cards==There are many Winged-Beast support cards, and can be used easily in combination to overwhelm the opponent. ===Monsters==={{Decklist|<!-- This is not an exact Decklist.

In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Falsebound Kingdom]]===Weaknesses===Despite the many powerful combos that "Harpies" are capable of, there are still weaknesses within this archetype that can be capitalized on. For instance, most "Harpie" monsters, except "Cyber Harpie Lady", "Harpie Queen", "Harpie's Pet Dragon" and "Harpie', the Harpie Ladies s Pet Phantasmal Dragon" are given namesgenerally low in original ATK, each based on those of three Harpy sisters from Greek mythologymaking them unsuitable in battle against most high-ATK monsters.

Since this archetype have emphasis on rapid Special Summoning, anti-Special Summoning cards like "[[Vanity's Emptiness]]" and "[[Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo]]" can be hazardous against this Deck. "[[Harpie Lady 1El Shaddoll Winda]] - Airo " can also pose problems as well (from Aello, albeit "storm swift[[Hysteric Party]]"can somewhat bypass this).

The Harpies' name-changing effect is more of a hindrance than a help. It prevents the summoning of monsters that require materials with different names, such as the "[[Harpie Lady 2Knightmare]] " cards and "[[Black Luster Soldier - Ocupete (from Ocypete, Soldier of Chaos]]". Negation effects such as "[[Effect Veiler]]"the swift wingor ") [[Harpie Lady 3Breakthrough Skill]] " will cause the Harpies to lose their name- Keraino (from Celaenochanging ability, which means "Elegant Egotist" cannot be activated since it specifically requires "Harpie Lady"to be on the field, rendering the dark")cards completely useless.
