This card's name becomes "Harpie Lady" while on the field or in the GY. If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can add 1 Spell/Trap from your Deck to your hand that specifically lists the card "Harpie Lady Sisters" in its text. If you controlled a Level 5 or higher "Harpie" monster when you activated this effect, you can also add a second such card, with a different name from the first. You can only use this effect of "Harpie Perfumer" once per turn.
Harpie Perfumer — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 59 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 59 · Deck: 59 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher/Tutor
Why it scores here
Harpie Perfumer converts a Normal or Special Summon into a search for a Spell/Trap whose text names Harpie Lady Sisters, and a second search when a Level 5+ Harpie is controlled. The deck evidence (400 of 400 sampled decks, 2.72 average copies, 58.5% of decks in the Harpie archetype) confirms the card is consistently run, but that frequency counts toward accessibility and deck fit, not intrinsic power. The 1400/1300 body and the absence of any interaction earn nothing on stats, and with no combo records the conversion score rests on text inference.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 75 | Summon-triggered search from a Level 4 body that is in every sampled deck at 2.72 average copies, though no combo starter data confirms how often it is live (observed deck frequency, inferred live rate). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | The search adds one Spell/Trap, or two with a Level 5+ Harpie, but no board or combo examples exist to show what it builds (inferred from text). |
| Resource Economy | 70 | A Summon-triggered search is a net gain of one card, and of two with the Level 5+ Harpie condition (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | The card has no negate, removal or hand-trap text, so it contributes no opponent interaction (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 40 | Level 4 WIND Winged Beast is a generic material level, but no combo or deck evidence shows it being used as material, so the value is inferred. |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Its only effect is a single once-per-turn Summon trigger, so one negate removes the search, and the body is 1400 ATK (verified from text, inferred impact). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | Runs at 2 to 3 copies in Harpie decks with no garnet, but it only supports the Harpie shell, a mild restriction (observed from deck copy distribution, inferred restriction). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Searcher/Tutor primary; no secondary role blend because no secondary role is supported by evidence. Intrinsic ≈ 59, Deck ≈ 59, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Summon-triggered search reaches a Harpie-supporting Spell/Trap with no board requirement
- Second search with a Level 5+ Harpie gives a two-card payoff
- In all 400 sampled decks at 2.72 average copies, so the card is consistently played
- Name change to Harpie Lady while on field or in GY (verified from text)
Weaknesses
- 1400 ATK / 1300 DEF body with no interaction
- Search depends on a Normal or Special Summon and is once per turn
- Negating the Summon effect removes the whole value
- No combo records, so conversion value is unverified
Counters / choke points
- Generic negation of the Summon effect (inferred)
- Opponent interaction that stops the search (inferred)
Best use
Searcher/Tutor. Decks: Harpie. Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Normal or Special Summon trigger, once per turn, searches a Spell/Trap listing Harpie Lady Sisters; Second search with a Level 5+ Harpie controlled; Name becomes Harpie Lady on field or GY; In 400 of 400 sampled decks, average 2.72 copies, 311 decks at 3 copies; Harpie archetype in 58.5% of sampled decks
- Observed: Top partners by co-occurrence: Elegant Egotist 99.2%, Cyber Slash Harpie Lady 97%, Hysteric Sign 94%; Usage statistics: Harpie inclusion 50%, typical 2 copies; Harpie Ladies guide describes the Harpie deck as strong across metas without naming this card
- Inferred: Search targets are Harpie-supporting Spell/Trap cards, so the searched cards are archetype-dependent; Level 4 body is a generic material fit but unconfirmed by combo data; Effect is easily stopped by a single negate
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion, starter, material and payoff roles are text-inferred Harpie Lady Sisters Spell/Trap targets are not enumerated, so search breadth is unverified no per-deck starter count, so DeckResilience uses archetype spread only no banlist token, so 3 copies is assumed frequency of the Level 5+ Harpie condition is unknown
