SecondSeraphim Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 I love Harpie Lady but am first to admit the archetype has some weaknesses. This is my attempt to fix some of those, as well as giving more focus to the Harpie's Pet series by turning it into a full-on archetype. I also introduced a pair of "retrains" of Harpie Lady Sisters, as well as gave more options for Channeler's level changing effect, and some stuff for if you need to pop your own stuff for Hunting Ground. I also gave them a Link monster just because they would do so much with the extra deck now, even though I'll be the first to admit she isn't that good yet. Thoughts would be appreciated.

Dova Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 Both of your main deck monsters are decent, and might be run at 1 each, but they don't really support the archetype too much, and would brick more than anything else. I do love their Pendulum effects thought; if only they offered more as monsters. I will say that you probably have to nerf Hunting Dragon, as it is a Pendulum Tuner...and they're bad news. Triad is extremely disappointing, if only for the lack of effect. Why would I go Link 3 for a card that doesn't do anything for me? Greatfly is better than this. Also, Links don't have DEF. Shame you gotta lose that, but it has terrible stats without it, anyway. Queen also is bad for its simplicity, as ATK gain isn't really very much. I want to go into something with staying power, or something that helps extend my plays. Also, only have 1 Tuner makes it something hard to go into, and you are missing the requirements :P Trio and Riding Dragon, on the other hand, are beautiful cards for the archetype My suggestion; ditch the Synchro, and replace the Tuner with a Poly or the archetypal fusion searcher. Your Pet Ancient Dragon is pretty good too, although it probably doesn't need the LP requirement. I do think your creative side shines with these last 3 monsters. Whistle is pure goodness for extending plays and throwing in your Dragons to actually be playable. Frenzy is a generic searcher with recycling, so nothing interesting there, even if it helps, but the offensiveness and potential combos with Assault...weow. Another one of the impressive cards, but I don't think it needs the GY effect. It is a very niche use, but I think gets around your opponent's plays too easily. Basically "insta Xyz or Fusion if we feel like it". I don't really like Training Ground as a purely replacement for Hunting Grounds. It completely voids another card made, rather than leaving room open for it. It's not really even that good of a replacement, as you designed the rest of the cards to work around Hunting Grounds. Really, you could remove it and nothing would change. Some very meh cards here, but some very good ones too. Nice to see the love you want to show them, but hopefully my suggestions can help them become better ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecondSeraphim Posted March 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 So I made some updates to the cards based on your advice. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dova Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Your Pendulums don't need to be restricted from having their counterpart's activated the same turn they activate theirs; they're not that consistent for it to be a major problem. However, as an aside, your monster and Pendulum effects on the cards are misplaced; effects which activate when destroyed in the Pendulum Zone are still monster effects, as face-up in the Extra Deck (when they go when they are destroyed) they are still monsters. Also, when they are in the Pendulum Zone and your NS a monster, you'll need to activate a Pendulum effect to SS themselves from there, so you can't just lump the SS from hand and Pend Zone into one effect. Yes, it messes up your current effects, but...it's better for them to actually work. Your Extra Deck line-up is fine, although I would suggest that Duo be unable to Summon an Xyz/Fusion monster, due to how powerful it is otherwise. Still, good changes. Looking much better!
