"'''Harpie'''" (ハーピィ ''Hāpyi'') is an [[archetype]] composed of [[WIND]] [[Winged BeastDragon]] and [[Dragon]]-[[TypeWinged Beast]] [[Monster Card|monsters]]. [[Mai Valentine]] uses this archetype in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime )|anime]] and manga. "[[Sky ScoutYu-Gi-Oh! (manga)|manga]]", originally known as "Harpie's Brother", is not a Harpie card because it does not have 「ハーピィ」 in its Japanese name. It was renamed to clarify this.

When "Harpies" were released (some of the first monsters released that would later become an official archetype), they didn't have much support. From ''[[Rise of Destiny]]'' onward, however, "Harpies" became more balanced and powerful with occasional support cards released. ''[[Structure Deck 8: Lord of the Storm]]'' has aided this archetype with cards such as "[[Hysteric Party]]" and "[[Harpie's Pet Baby Dragon]]", while also featuring a lot of other Harpie-related cards in it. Afterwards, "[[Harpie Queen]]" was released in ''[[Force of the Breaker]]'', providing ways to search "[[HarpieHarpies's Hunting Ground]]".

''[[Legendary Collection 4: Joey's World]]'' also provides more support for this archetype (while also reprinting important "Harpie"-related cards as well). The effect of "[[Harpie Dancer]]"'s effect can be utilized for reaping more benefits from "[[HarpieHarpies's Hunting Ground]]", or providing more swarming capabilities when coupled with "[[Divine Wind of Mist Valley]]". They also have their ultimate the Spell Card, "[[Harpie Lady Phoenix Formation]]", which can decimate your clear the opponent's field of monsters, but disallows you to the player from Special Summoning monsters from your Deck, Graveyard and skipping your their Battle Phase, making it a double-edged sword with hefty drawbacks.

"[[Harpie Lady 1]]", "[[Harpie Lady 2]]", "[[Harpie Lady 3]]" and "[[Cyber Harpie Lady]]" have the phrase [[name condition]] "''(This card's name is always treated as "Harpie Lady".)'' in their effect text". Since this text does not specify a place the card has to be in order to be called "Harpie Lady", they all have their name is treated as "Harpie Lady" everywhere, including while in the player's [[Main Deck|Deck]]. Due to this, a player can only have a total combination of 3 of any 3 of these cards and/or the [[Normal Monster]] "Harpie Lady" in their Main Deck and their [[Side Deck]] combined (such as for example, 1 "Harpie Lady", 1 "Cyber Harpie Lady", and 1 "Harpie Lady 2").

Harpies "[[Harpie|Queen]],[[Harpie|Channeler]], [[Harpie|Dancer]] " and [[Harpie|Harpist]] other "Harpies" released after have an effect that treats their names converted only when own name as "Harpie Lady" while they are on the field or in the graveyardGraveyard. However, so since they are not considered treated as their original name in the Deck, it is possible to have up to 3 of each in addition to 3 cards whose name is treated as "Harpie Ladies for a deck formulaLady" in the Deck.

A "Harpie Lady" also appears as a Duel Monster Spirit in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]''. She battles [[Jesse Anderson]] and his "[[Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus]]". That same "Harpie Lady" later uses the effect of "[[Elegant Egotist]]" to multiply into 3, but they were defeated by "Sapphire Pegasus" and "[[Crystal Beast Topaz Tiger|Topaz Tiger]]".

In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Falsebound Kingdom]]'', the Harpie Ladies are given names, each based on those of three Harpy Harpie sisters from Greek mythology:*[[Harpie Lady 1]] - Airo (from [[wikipedia:Aello|Aello]], "storm swift")*[[Harpie Lady 2]] - Ocupete (from [[wikipedia:Ocypete|Ocypete]], "the swift wing")*[[Harpie Lady 3]] - Keraino (from [[wikipedia:Celaeno|Celaeno]], "the dark")

"Harpies" combine the ability to be rapidly summoned, to destroy the opponent's Spell and Trap Cards, and increase each others their own attack points, enhancing their individual abilities, . More recent Harpie support also places a focus on returning themselves and other monsters to protect each otherthe hand. They do not have the ability to destroy Spell and Trap cards innately, but their Field Spell Card, "[[Harpies' Hunting Ground]]" allows them to destroy one a Spell or Trap Card when each time a "Harpie Lady" card is Summoned in any way, in addition to their iconic "[[Harpie's Feather Duster]]". They can be Summoned from the Graveyard in large numbers through the effect of "[[Hysteric Party". Their support cards, "[[Harpie's Pet Baby Dragon]]" and . They also have access to "[[Harpie's Pet DragonFeather Storm]]", rapidly gains power ("one of the most powerful [[Harpie's Pet DragonTraps]]") or utility ("[[Harpiein the game that completely shuts down the opponent's Pet Baby Dragon]]") depending on how many Harpie Lady cards you controlmonster effects for an entire turn. Properly played, "Harpies" can overwhelm the opponent in moments with high attack power and powerful effects, but they are not strong individually, so they are vulnerable to opponents who can overpower them, or destroy all of them at once.

Post-''[[Lord of the Tachyon Galaxy]]'', the deck now centered around Xyz Summoning, utilizing cards Cards like "[[Harpie Channeler]]", "[[Elegant Egotist]]", [[Summoner Monk]]", and "[[Hysteric Party]]" allow the Deck to Summon multiple Harpies as fast as possible, quickly and perform Summon multiple Xyz Summons (mainly monsters from the [[Extra Deck]]. Their main boss monster is the [[Synchro]] [[Cyber Slash Harpie Lady]] which can use any "Harpie" monster as a [[Tuner]]. The deck can also Summon Rank 4 and Rank 7)[[Xyz Monsters]], or various [[Link Monster|Link Monsters]]. Some popular Xyz Monsters found in most Harpie decks including, but not limited to, include "[[Ice Beast Zerofyne]]", "[[Lightning Chidori]]", "[[Number 10111: Silent Honor ARKBig Eye]]", and "[[Mecha Phantom Beast Dracossack]]". Link monsters include "[[Castel, the Skyblaster MusketeerHarpie Conductor]]" and occasionally , "[[Number 11: Big EyeGreatfly]]" , and "[[Mecha Phantom Beast DracossackSimorgh, Bird of Sovereignty]]". Some players Harpies can also include cards like "easily perform the [[Blackwing - Zephyros the EliteNumber 39: Utopia Double|Utopia Double]]" and OTK against any monster with 2000 or less ATK (this can be further utilized with "[[Tempest, Dragon Ruler of StormsPentestag]]" to promote their swarming power for more Xyz Summons[[OTK]] over monsters with 2000 or less DEF).

To keep their onslaught running, they Harpies also utilize excel at generating card advantage. "[[Harpie's Feather Rest]]" acts similarly to "[[Pot of Avarice]]". "[[Hysteric Sign]]" for searching more Harpie can search up to 3 cards and maintain card advantages in their favorthe [[End Phase]], while using including the powerful "[[Harpie's Hunting Ground]]Feather Duster" and "Harpie's Feather Storm". "[[Icarus AttackWing Requital]]" as control measures is also an option to destroy draw even more cards when any obstacles your opponent may utilizetwo Harpies with different original names are on the field.

===Weaknesses===

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. "[[El Shaddoll Winda]]" can also pose problems as well (albeit "[[Hysteric Party]]" can somewhat bypass this).

Most HarpieThe Harpies' name-based decks relies on either 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 "[[Summoner MonkKnightmare]]" cards and/or "[[Harpie ChannelerBlack Luster Soldier - Soldier of Chaos]]" to Summon more monsters from the Deck, and without those cards, this deck cannot survive for long, nor accumulating speed for offense, which means effect negations . Negation effects such as "[[Effect Veiler]]" or "[[Breakthrough Skill]]"will cause the Harpies to lose their name-changing ability, or disruption cards like which means "[[Book of Moon]]Elegant Egotist" and cannot be activated since it specifically requires "[[Solemn Warning]]Harpie Lady" is very effective against them during early game stage. Since they mostly focused to be on Xyz Summons, "[[Flying "C"]]" can shut down the Deck's aggressive stancefield, and "[[Thunder King Rai-Oh]]" can blocks rendering the effects of "[[Hysteric Sign]]", slowing them downcards completely useless.
