    Sorry about the inconsistency of OCG artwork in TCG cards near the end, I had to use digital proxies that feature OCG art because the scans and photos of the most recent TCG releases look like they've been ran under a sheet of sandpaper.

      Harpies are one of the weirdest cases of censorship in YGO since by editing the artwork to show less skin they've put the band of Feathery Dominatrixes in skin-tight latex, which is kinda less SFW than just showing a lot of skin. My majored in finance brain shudders to think how much the TCG Harpies would spend on talcum powder.
      On the topic of being jealous of the Dragon, I'm on the fence since I am into some kinky shit but not pet play. I would let the sexy birds collar and do some S&M on me though.

      They're really not that bad in Duel Links. Most other meta decks easily overpower them and they instantly die the second you do anything during their Normal Summon, which every deck in the game has the potential to do going first.
      The main things Harpies have going for them over most of the rest of the meta in DL is recovery (one of the best, IMO second only to Resonators), and they have a tiny bit more disruption than most decks (about on par with Gaia).
      They do have a very strong & consistent turn 1 board state when uninterrupted, but so do Gaia, Resonators, Onomats, Water Xyz, and several others.

    Back in the days of dueling network, I used to hybrid a Vampire Vamp engine into harpies as well as a Phalanx Pike. That no doubt sounds like madness, but it somehow won me many a game against meta decks of the era. Phalanx Pike is and has always been a meme instant death card for Harpies where you play it in the lategame and score a one hit kill, which was nice for a single copy of it, and if you drew it early, you'd just summoner monk it. Vampire Sorcerer and Vampire Vamp however opened some very interesting options. You had easy access to Dark Simorgh, could mill out spent Vamps with standard Harpie XYZ rotations, just consuming Dragon and Vamp instead of Channeler and Dragon. But, because Harpie could completely strip backrow and make attacking an absolute pain, and getting sorcerer killed was not very hard, you could at any time pull off a Vamp play once you had the enemy hand low and go for lethal. Later I added Red Eyes Flare Metal Dragon to the extra deck at one copy to set up a defensive scenario that would enable Vamp, since between the LP loss from REFMD and Vamp's ability to swing for giant numbers, you'd easily be able to take people to zero if they pushed into it.
    It won most of the time in rated duels and I actually got pretty high on the ladder with it. People just do not expect out of nowhere vamp instant kills.

    And of course if you're a Duel Links player (or at least were, I haven't touched it in months and don't know how much the meta has changed) then bump all of these grades to 5/5 and rage quits ensuing

    I’ve been waiting for this video for like 28 years now (since I was born). Yes, I love this archetype so much that I loved it before Yugioh existed

    funny (especially at the end XD) and with a FANTASTIC analysis! i love the way u assess the cards!
    THEN UR RATING SYSTEM!! cheers man never occurred to me a deck could be viewed this way (now knowing that, i see my personal preference i a decks performance is; recovery, consistency, protection, versatility n power, so now ima aim to make a deck like that!!)
    cheers again, great vid!
