Harpie Queen — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 59 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 56.7 · Deck: 59.8 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher/Tutor · Secondary: Combo enabler
Why it scores here
Harpie Queen converts a discard into a search for Harpies' Hunting Ground, a card that 95% of its sampled Harpie decks run alongside it, so its real value is as a card-neutral search that turns a dead card into an enabler. Its ATK and Level 4 body earn little on their own, and the score does not reflect them. Combo evidence is absent, so the combo and conversion scores rest on the search text alone, which keeps the score in the medium band.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 72 | Searches a card that appears in 95% of sampled decks (deck evidence), but no starter or searched counts exist to confirm how often it is reached in play (observed deck stat, inference for in-game access). |
| Combo & Conversion | 58 | The text converts one discard into one Hunting Ground search, but no combo boards were supplied to confirm a full line (inference from text). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | Discard-for-search is card-neutral: one card leaves the hand and one enters, so the gain is in quality, not count (inference from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card has no negation, removal, or disruption text in the supplied description (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 40 | A Level 4 WIND Winged Beast body with no Tuner text; usable as material but not a clean generic fit, and the effect-negated case is not evidenced (inference from text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | The discard cost is paid on activation, so a later negate can stop only the search, not the discard (inference from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Runs 1 to 3 copies on average 1.85 per deck, with no garnet or lock text; it does commit the deck to a Harpie shell (61% in the Harpie archetype) (observed deck stat). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher/Tutor + 0.3 Starter/Combo enabler. Intrinsic ≈ 56.7, Deck ≈ 59.8, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Turns a discard into a search for Harpies' Hunting Ground, which 95% of sampled Harpie decks run
- Card-neutral search, so it does not cost net card advantage
- Name change to Harpie Lady on field and GY supports Harpie Lady-named partners such as Cyber Slash Harpie Lady
- Runs 1 to 3 copies with no garnet or lock text, so it is cheap to play inside its shell
Weaknesses
- Narrow: 61% of its sampled decks are in the Harpie archetype, and its text is tied to Harpies' Hunting Ground
- No effect interaction, negation, or removal
- Level 4 body with no Tuner text, so limited as material
- No combo boards supplied, so its real conversion rate is not measured
Counters / choke points
- Generic GY and hand interaction that stops the search after the discard cost is paid
- Opponent removal or disruption on the Hunting Ground once it is on the field
Best use
Searcher for Harpies' Hunting Ground and name-change support for Harpie Lady-named cards. Decks: Harpie.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: name becomes Harpie Lady on field or in GY; can discard to GY to add Harpies' Hunting Ground from Deck to hand; Level 4 WIND Winged Beast, 1900 ATK / 1200 DEF, Effect Monster, Harpie archetype; 280 sampled decks; 95% co-run with Harpies' Hunting Ground; 61.1% in archetype 664; Copies per deck avg 1.85, max 3
- Observed: Gameplay type 7 in 78.6% of sampled decks; Harpie Lady-named partners (Cyber Slash Harpie Lady) co-run in 86.1% of decks
- Inferred: Searcher role inferred from the GY-search text and deck pairing with the Hunting Ground; Discard-for-search is card-neutral, so resource economy is moderate; Name change supports Harpie Lady-named cards, from the text plus partner list
- Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied activation location for the discard cost is not stated in the supplied description no usage statistics (StatisticsCard); inclusion % inferred from deck sample only no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited)
