Why it scores here
Alluring Mirror Split converts Harpie battle losses into extra bodies: a battle-destroyed Harpie Lady or Harpie Lady Sisters lets you Special Summon a different-named Harpie from the Deck, and the card's own destruction by a Harpie or opponent effect revives a Harpie from the GY. The deck data is strong (203 of 203 sampled decks run it, 1.28 copies on average), but that frequency reflects being a Harpie-only support card, so it confirms accessibility and not intrinsic power. No combo boards were supplied, so the score rests on text inference and the deck pattern.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Runs in all 203 sampled decks at 1.28 copies on average, but it is a Continuous Spell that needs a Harpie battle loss or a Harpie-owned trigger to activate (observed decks; inferred timing). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | Each trigger adds one Harpie body from the Deck or GY, but no combo boards were supplied, so the conversion is text-only (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | Two once-per-turn Special Summons from Deck and GY give net body gain with no card cost, which is a real but conditional advantage (verified text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | No negation, removal, or hand-trap reach; the card only reacts with summons after destruction (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 35 | No material or name-provider effect on the card itself; the Harpies it summons are Level-4 and Winged Beast bodies, which is inferred value only (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | A Continuous Spell is easy to destroy, and the effect only runs on specific Harpie destruction paths, so interaction shuts it off often (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | Mild restriction: it is a single-slot card at about 1.28 copies, but it is dead outside Harpie-based shells (observed decks; restriction inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 48, Deck ≈ 52.5, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Two independent once-per-turn triggers that each add a Harpie body
- Near-universal inclusion in the sampled Harpie decks (203 of 203)
- Clean deckbuilding cost with no garnet or lock
Weaknesses
- Conditional trigger: needs a Harpie battle loss or a Harpie-based destruction
- Continuous Spell is fragile and easy to remove
- Value is tied to the Harpie archetype, so it has no generic reach
Counters / choke points
- Board-wipe or continuous-spell removal that destroys the card before a trigger
- Opponent card effects that negate or stop the triggers
Best use
Extender / recursion support for Harpie battle losses. Decks: Harpie. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: two once-per-turn effects (battle-destruction Deck summon; destruction-by-Harpie/opponent-effect GY summon); Deck count: 203 of 203 sampled decks run it, avg 1.28 copies
- Observed: Harpie archetype share of decks is 59.6%; Top partners Elegant Egotist (100%) and Harpie Channeler (99.5%) co-occur in nearly all decks
- Inferred: Trigger timing is conditional on Harpie battle losses; Effect value depends on being a Harpie-centred shell; Usable as a recursion/extender support rather than a standalone power card
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) usage statistics limited to one Simorgh archetype row, so cross-archetype inclusion is unknown
