Harpies Post

so today we can discuss harpie , the new archetype which got a boost. isit good? yes. isit tier 1? no.

the main thing about harpie is that it has alot of s/t destruction in the form of the field spell, icarus etc so there is probably no need to run mst. sometimes ur forced to destrroy ur own hunting ground or if u have hysteric sign, destroy it.

sign is so good because of its 1st effect. when i first started playing harpies i didnt know what elegant egotist did, then i read it, and i was like wtf? u can summon any harpie from deck?

the 2nd effect of sign is just a bonus. most of the time u only need to resolve 1 sign and the rest becomes useless because u will have lesser targets in the deck. hence why i run 1 cyber harpie lady, 2 of the harpie #1, 3 chaneller, and 3 queen

why channeller? because u can immediately turn it into plover, or any rank 4 xyz, or if ur like me, you'd almost make big eye everytime to steal ur opponents beatstick. which is a game winning move because its a 2 card snatch steal.

believe me, the 2 harpie pet dragon doesnt clog at all because u can access channeler so easily. just ditch dragon for another. im even tempted to put in the 3rd but that would encourage too much clogging

but the bad things about the deck is that u cannot run more than 3 cards which r counted as harpie lady. i would have put more cyber harpie or more of the harpie 1 but then u cant have more than 3 cards with harpie in the name in ur deck. i couldnt put anymore in dn so i assumed this is the case in real life.

which brings us to the main problem of the deck. there are sooooo few birds for the deck that i had to throw in some random shit like tragoedia and tour guide. tragoedia is reasonable because u can steal ur opponents verz or shit , and if u resolve sign, tragoedia is gonna get big with 3 extra monster in hand.

i dont need to go over icarus attack its one of the best traps in the game, in my opinion, but sooo easily played around.

hysteric party is the decks game winner because it is the decks 2 card combo (1 sign 1 card from hand) to explode all over the field. most of the time u only get 3 monsters but its ok its still amazing.

i teched in 1 copy of harpie pet baby dragon because sometimes if u have a full field of harpie, pet baby dragon can do alot of stuff. so its in there for options. i never really liked it cos i'd just ditch it for chanellers effect, but it did win me a game or 2.

one last thing abt the deck, as lgq pointed out, is that it is too dependant on channeler. yes this means effect veiler kills the whole deck imo.

but its hard to kill it because there are sooo many cards to access channeler with swallow flip, 3 signs, 3 channeler 1 sangan, 2 tour guide,, thats like 1/4 of the deck lol.

it had a very good record on dn, winning most of its rounds except some great trashing from inzektors by lfn. inzektor too stronk :(

all in all, lets see how the japanese build this deck :)

ps: ignore the sidedeck. was simply thrown together.

I'd like to just clear up something - Elegant Egotist cannot Special Summon Harpie's Channeler, as Elegant Egotist says "Harpie Lady" or "Harpie's Lady Sisters", and Harpie Channeler only counts as Harpie Lady on the field or Grave, so it sadly can only tutor out the actual Harpie Ladies. Just thought I'd clarify that. Not sure the deck'll change a whole lot because of it, but just so you play it correctly. If I misread what you were implying and you already know this, sorry. Trying to be helpful. xD

Apart from that, build looks pretty solid. Maybe Summoner Monk over Tragoedia to abuse Hysteric Sign and because that does tutor out your Channeler? I'm not a huge fan of Tragoedia though, so might just be me.

U cant special summon Channeler with egotist because it must be a Harpie Lady or Sisters. Channeler only counts as a Harpie Lady while in Grave or Field but not in the deck

U cannot special summon Channeler with egoitst since it doesn't count as "Harpie Lady" while in the deck. Just in while being in grave or on the field. And egotist has to special summon either Harpy Lady or the sisters
