Harpie's are broken lol

[Dovahgatr]

Was about to grind the mission to summon winged-beasts, when all of the sudden, it won't let me add my herpies, I MEAN HARPIES!
Cyber Harpie Lady glitches it out and makes it so you can't add any harpie lady, which is usually fine besides the fact that it counts for the 2 and 3 as well.

But yeah fix your sh!t Komoney.

Cyber Harpie Lady's name is treated as Harpie Lady and you can only put three cards (unless limited-or semi limited ofc) of the same name in your deck. There is nothing to fix, reading comprehension is key.

[Obsidian Dragoon]

Sorry, but according to the card text, its name is ALWAYS treated as Harpie Lady and therefore it counts towards the 3 card limit according to deck construction (which I think is a BS ruling but whatever).

So between Harpie Lady (normal monster), Harpie Lady 1, Harpy Lady 2, Harpie Lady 3 and Cyber Harpie, you can only include 3 copies.

When was this ever a thing? Why was this ever a thing? I'm pretty sure it's not a thing.

This was always a thing in the tcg

Always been a thing, even older video games wouldn't let you run that card with more than 2 Harpie Ladies. Harpie Lady #1 - #3 work the same way. They are the essentially the same monster, only with different effects each as they also have the "This card's name is always treated as Harpie Lady" ruling.

It was stupid ruling then but it's gotten better now.

Cyber Dragons for example found a way around that. They have versions that only count as Cyber Dragon while on the field or GY, but not in the deck or hand, thus circumventing the 3-of-a-kind rule. This however was NOT retroactively applied to Harpie cards and they received no such errata.

That's such a stupid ruling, this is a thing that should be changed honestly. Thanks to everybody for letting me know, as I never thought that would be an actual ruling.

what about harpie harpist, harpie queen, harpie dancer, harpie channeler? all do the same job. if you ask me, harpies recieved it even before cyber dragons.

I never said they didn't get that right eventually, as they clearly did. But last I checked none of the ones you are listed are in the game yet.

Those old Harpie cards suffer this issue, including Cyber Harpie Lady.

Wait, so you can only have 3 cards of harpie in your deck. I swear back in the days you could have 3 copies of harpie lv1, lv2, lv,3. is that the issue

I think some of them are, I know Harpie Dancer is for sure, as I have a copy of her.
I ended up just throwing a bunch of high powered wb for my mission grind though.

No you can't, if you saw anyone doing that in real life, they were cheating. You can have combinations of 3x number twos, 2x number ones with a number three and so on. But not 3x of each.

So i guess they only created 4 different looking cards, harpy, harpy 1, harpy 2, harpy 3 and cyber harpy.. from wich i each have 1 to confuse the player into purchasing up to 3 of each for nothing?

I mean whats the point of four different card types if they still linked together as a single one? Only to add different harpy pictures and a number behind the name.

Not that i understand the reason behind it.. its not that the harpies are that imba with their 1300 atk.. so having up to 12 of them.. doesnt make the deck invincible.. coz harpy sisters will be limited to 3 no matter what.

This kind of makes a full themed harpy deck for style impossible.. while that Elemental Hero deck on that other boy... offers enough for a full themed deck.. those arent all called hero and limited to 3 no matter wich one..

nobody plays those harpies anyway, the real deck is focused around harpie channeler, harpie harpist, harpie dander and harpie's pet dragon. but here in duel links they are considered being overpowering so they are not included, either way they require being suplemented by xyz to fully work but with only 3 space field its out of question.
