OCG Rulings
Previously Official Rulings
 | These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[4] They were previously considered official and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules, or unless Konami has issued a ruling that says otherwise. References: [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] |
- For the effect of "Harpie Lady 3" count only your opponent's turns. If your opponent's monster attacks "Harpie Lady 3", then count that turn as the first of the two turns. (So the monster could not attack again that turn, even if it had the ability to attack more than once, and it could not attack on your opponent's next turn either.) If "Harpie Lady 3" attacks your opponent's monster, then that monster cannot attack for your opponent's next 2 turns.[2]
- If "Element Magician" attacks and destroys "Harpie Lady 3" while there is another WIND monster on the field, "Element Magician" cannot attack again that turn.[2]
- If you control "Harpie Lady 3" and "Gemini Elf" and your opponent activates "Change of Heart" to gain control of "Gemini Elf", then attacks your "Harpie Lady 3", your "Gemini Elf" cannot attack for 2 of your opponent's turns, even after it returns to your side of the field.[2]
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Chthonian Alliance: Monsters that are treated as having the same name, like "Cyber Harpie Lady" and "Harpie Lady 3", both count as "Harpie Lady" for purposes of "Chthonian Alliance".
- Divine Wrath: You cannot chain "Divine Wrath" to Continuous Effects such as: ... "Harpie Lady 3" ....
- Harpie Lady 1: 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.
- Karma Cut: If you target "Harpie Lady 1" with "Karma Cut", any..."Harpie Lady 3"...cards in the opponent's Graveyard will also be removed from play.
- Neo-Spacian Dark Panther: If you target "Cyber Harpie Lady", "Harpie Lady 1", etc., then "Neo-Spacian Dark Panther's" name will just be "Harpie Lady" for the duration of its effect.
- The League of Uniform Nomenclature: If you target a "Harpie Lady" on the field equipped with "Demotion", then you can Special Summon monsters that are treated as having the same name, like..."Harpie Lady 3".
Judge List Rulings
- The text that says "This card's name is treated as "Harpie Lady"." cannot be negated by "Skill Drain". "Cyber Harpie Lady" and the Harpie Ladies 1 - 3 are always treated as "Harpie Lady". Even when "Skill Drain" is on the field, "Harpie's Hunting Ground" [sic] will see the "Cyber Harpie Lady", etc. as a "Harpie Lady". "Harpie Queen" is different. It is only named "Harpie Lady" while it is face-up on the field or in the Graveyard. If it is Summoned while "Skill Drain" is active, "Harpie's Hunting Ground" [sic] will ignore it because its name will be "Harpie Queen". "Skill Drain" can negate this effect.[3]
