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]] (OCG), 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 in the OCG) 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]]" and also "[[Phantom Beast Plane Drago-Sack]]" (coming soon in the OCG) . "[[Hysteric Sign]]" (coming soon in the OCG) 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 being sent from your hand or side of the field to the Graveyard during the End Phase 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 in the OCG) 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, also you can Xyz summon "[[Diamond Dire Wolf]]" which can destroy any card on the field with a cost of one of your Harpie monsters which can easily be re-summoned with "[[Hysteric Party]]". Harpie monsters can have a capability of summoning rank 4 monsters that require 3 level 4 monsters with ease like "[[Number 16: Shock Master]]", "[[Number 32: Shark Drake]]", and even "[[Evilswarm Ouroboros]]" (OCG), 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]]"). With "[[Harpie Channeler]]" being released in the OCG, you can try to use "[[Birdface]]" in your Harpie deck, although people use [[Flying Kamakiri 1]] over this card, you can use this card to set up your hand with a Harpie monster for "[[Harpie Channeler]]" or you can have a "[[Harpie Lady]]" or a card that is treated as Harpie Lady ([[Harpie Lady 1]] or [[Cyber Harpie Lady]]) in your hand for your next turn. Another new Harpie card coming out in the OCG is "[[Harpie Dancer]]". Although she does not have the ability to swarm the field like "[[Harpie Channeler]]", She can return wind monsters you control to the hand to normal summon an extra wind monster. You can use "[[Harpie Dancer]]" to return Harpie monster you control that is bound by cards like "[[Call of the Haunted]]", "[[Fiendish Chain]]", or "[[Hysteric Party]]" and normal summon another wind monster or even the Harpie monster itself. You can combo this effect with "[[Void Knight]]", normal summoning an extra wind monster while sending a harpie monster from your deck to the graveyard while "[[Void Knight]]" is face-up, helping setting 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. "[[Sylphine, the Cold Bird Beast]]" coming out in [[Lord of the Tachyon Galaxy]] soon in the OCG is a powerful Xyz monster that requires 2 level 4 Winged Beast monsters, also has the ability to negate all face-up cards your opponent controls and gain 300 ATK for each other face-up card on the field until your next Standby Phase by detaching 1 Xyz Material From this card, giving more monster negation power to Harpies while destroying spell/trap cards.
