      No, there were a few times that someone had to draw it, it just wasn't that often. Off the top of my head, the two duels between Yugi and Raphael. Also the first duel between Aliester(sp?) and Kaiba when he was pretending to be Pegasus, although maybe he had it in his opening hand but just didn't use it to fool Kaiba.

    • @airjodran
      @airjodran Год назад +3

      I would say it has more of an effect that it allows you to draw it whenever you want to, almost like "the heart of the cards" Yugi has but just for this specific card, since there are a few duels where it is not in the opening hand.

      That and the Marik duel was completely rewritten. In the manga, he has the advantage throughout most of the duel and stealing Ra is her last ditch effort to take the duel back. In the anime, she pretty much dominates the whole thing and only loses because of plot armor.
      I prefer the anime.

    I always thought it would have been cool to give mai a spin-off story and give her a backstory connecting her past life to amazons (that why she uses amazoness cards) like yugi is connected to atems past life in egypt. She could have been an amazoness princess who doesnt get that a tribe is more powerful working together than her fighting alone and has to learn this through duels and earn back the trust of the tribe and her place as the tribe's princess by dueling other tribes. This would mirror the problems of her future self with finding friends and trusting people

    It was only used once, but Harpie's Feather Storm was _incredibly_ important in the anime because it stopped Joey from resolving Fiber Jar against her.
    At that point in the duel she had 6 Harpies (2 actual Harpie Ladies & 4 Tokens), the Seal of Orichalcos, and Feather Storm set, Joey had just lost his Fiend Megacyber & had only Fiber Jar left, so resolving it would have been massive, least of all for the fact the Seal would have been shuffled as well (even if she'd have probably redrawn it immediately anyway lmao).

Once per turn, During either players turn: If a “Harpie” card leaves your field, and you control no other “Harpie” monsters; You can special summon this card from your pendulum zone._
    Winged-Beast/Pendulum/Tuner/Gemini
    This card is treated as a Normal Monster while face-up on the field or in the GY. While this card is a Normal Monster on the field, you can Normal Summon it to have it become an Effect Monster with these effects.
    ●If this card is Normal or Special Summoned, or inflicts battle damage to your opponent: You can add 1 Spell/Trap from your Deck to your hand that has "Harpie" in its text. You can only use this effect of "Cyber Harpie Lady #2" once per turn.
    ●This card counts as 2 tributes for the normal summon/set of a monster.

    I would put Elegant Egotist above Feather Duster. Yes, Duster is one of the best cards in her archetype but Mai very rarely used it, only doing so three times - twice against Yugi, and once each against Marik and Joey. Joey also used it against the Big 5, and Mai had it set against Tea, for a total of 6 appearances.
    Mai used Elegant Egotist 7 times herself - twice against Joey in different duels, once against Yugi, once against Marik, once against Magnum, and twice in the Virtual World. She also had it on net field against Rex, for a total of 8 appearances.

      Let’s also not forget that “Elegant Egotist” was not only the Best Harpies Support cards, but one of the Firsts that allowed for Easy Harpy Lady Summons, same for Harpy Ladies Sisters! Even though that card is basically a dead draw. But opening up Harpies as a Powerful Summon tool in the early days really shows that Had Konami decided to focus on ways of making Harpies stronger before the Chaos format, they Harpies would’ve been a lot better in the early days.

    The big weakness of Feather Duster was Gryphon Wing. But Gryphon Wing was only useful if your opponent was using Feather Duster, early YGI was full of these super specific counter cards like Dream Clown and Gryphon Wing.

    I got inspired to make some Harpie cards.
    Harpie’s Princess
    Attribute: WIND
    Level: 3
    Type: Winged-Beast/Tuner
    Atk: 900
    Def: 200
    Effect1: OPT: You can send one “Harpie Lady” Monster from your deck to your GY to increase this card’s level between 1 and 4.
    Effect2: If you control a “Harpie Lady” Monster, you can special summon this card from your hand.
    ________________________
    Harpie’s Wind Stone
    Attribute: WIND
    Type: Dragon/Tuner
    Level: 1
    Atk: 0
    Def: 0
    Effect1: If this card is sent to the GY, you can special Summon 1 “Harpie” Dragon-Type Monster from your deck or hand.
    Effect2: If you control only “Harpie” Monsters, special summon this card from your GY, Banish it when it leaves the field.
    _________________________
    Harpie’s Pet Griffin

    Type: Winged-Beast
    Level: 6
    Atk: 2000
    Def: 2000

    I only know Yugioh through RUclips and Link Evolution, and I was surprised how fun and strong Harpie Lady decks are
    Channeler -> Pet Dragon -> Rank 7 XUZ is a great feeling, as is summoning any Harpie -> Elegant Egotist -> Rank 4 XYZ summons that potentially lead to further combos.
    Before I picked up the game, I thought that this was just a gimmicky archetype from the anime!

    One of the other things about Yugi and Mai's duel in Duelist Kingdom is that he was also way more focused and worried about his duel against Pegasus than he was with the current duel at hand. He wasn't seeing Mai as a duelist, but rather as just an obstacle he needed to get through, and thus not giving her or their match the attention they actually deserved.

    There IS one card you can use that makes Phoenix Formation work, since it doesn't special summon from the Main or Extra Deck, and that card is Hysteric Party. It summons from the graveyard, and it allows you to summon as many as possible, so as long as you have at least 3 in the graveyard, or 2 if you summoned a monster from your hand, it will allow Phoenix Formation to pop off.

    I understand the reasoning for why The Seal of Orichalchos had the nerfs with destroying your Special Summoned monsters and locking you out of your Extra deck is because it recreates the conditions in the anime that caused Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight to be destroyed in the anime, but I think a better way to go about it would have been to have the Legendary Dragons and their associated Fusion monsters have the effect that if TSoO is in your Field Spell Zone, those cards in the Extea deck can't be summoned and thise monsters on the field are banished (the materials used for their summin is special summinec back to the field or returned to the hand). It nakes mire sense why the Legendary Dragons would have a problem with using TSoO than any other extra deck monster.

    Wait what's the story with the harpie field skill nerf in Duel Links? From what I can see it originally had you start the duel with it active, then was changed to make the spell start on top of your deck (was that better because it protected it when going second?), And now allows you to return a card from your hand to your deck to activate it from the deck, which just seems like an upgrade from that second version rather than a further nerf. Am i missing something about Duel Links that makes the current version worse than that original nerf?
    EDIT: found a video reacting to the change back when it was announced, I overlooked that this forces you to activate it first turn when going first, meaning if you want it going first you lose a card from your hand vs. when it was just there on the field automatically, but more importantly I didn't realize that most harpie decks just straight up didn't bother playing any actual copies of the field spell and solely relied on the copy generated by the skill, which the new version doesn't give you.

    14:20 about that, I don’t think that applies to the second duel. He even told her (in the dub at least) that he was dueling her with all his soul, and I can’t really think of any other moves he could have made to beat her. Heck, on his final roll with Skull Dice, the odds were in his favor. I think like with his duel with Zigfried, he simply got unlucky.
