What makes Mai's deck so iconic isn't just the character (as good as she was), it's that hers was one of only a few Attribute centric Deck's they ever had on the show(aside from Mako)..

[@DragoSonicMile]

(Mako wasn't even Attribute centric, considering his "Flying Fish" card is Wind attribute while the rest of his monsters are Water.)

[@johnnysizemore5797]

@@DragoSonicMile valid point, I completely forgot that that Fish wasn't Water Attribute! Show's you how long it's been since "Season One" of YGO hit the TV....

[@danielramsey6141]

@@DragoSonicMile Regardless, when it comes to Attribute and Type Focus, Mako was always considered to be the Icon for water related cards.

[@SuperSaiyanD48]

@@DragoSonicMile Fast forward for today, where the new Mako deck cards are actually competitive.

[@MasterBruce1984]

I remember in 2002 era I loved my Harpie deck, and a friend of mine played a water deck.

[@MidoriNatsume]

Considering the lore of the Harpies having tamed dragons, I think that slapping a Tempest Dragon Ruler of Storms would fit really well.

[@nzletaku]

We crave more Yugioh Gx rewrite 😭

[@RoseTheGuy]

TRUE!

[@ilikeanime1324]

We indeed crave more of the rewrite

[@anime4you355]

To all the comments saying Mai would put another archetype into her deck or amazoness, no sry she wouldn't. In the first season her whole Deck was built around harpie lady. The only reason she added the amazoness cards was that the game sped up a lot and new rules were added. Since Harpie Lady didn't had much support she had to include other cards. In Orichalcos she used again only harpie cards because they had enough support that could also win duels. She indeed had an amazoness spell card in her deck but I think that was just to get to 40 Cards. I'm pretty sure she would run a harpie only deck with a few adjustments in the extra deck and some spell and trap cards. Mai literally said that Harpie lady was her only friend she ever had and that she admired them.

For new character deck profiles... -Maximillion J. Pegasus (Duel Monsters) -Leon van Schroeder (Duel Monsters) -Syrus Truesdale (GX) -Chazz Princeton (GX) -Alexis Rhodes (GX) -Bastion Misawa (GX) -Crowler (GX) -Jean Louis Bonaparte (GX) -Leo (5Ds) -Luna (5Ds) -Carly (5Ds)

[@SuperSaiyanD48]

First things first, we need that 2023 era Kaiba deck... we NEED it. 😩

[@badwrongfun5541]

I would like to see Mai splash in a different Winged Beast oriented archetype that would mesh well with Harpies such as Tri Brigades or Lyriluscs (though I know that risks stepping on Lulu's toes, so maybe only the Tris). Just with her personality, and because she's done it before with Amazons, I think Mai is one of the DM duelists who would be the most dedicated to staying up to date to make an effective deck. I don't think she's 100% married to her original cards like Yugi or Kaiba. She's less sentimental and more practical. Like still have her play Harpie cards but make it a hybrid to show she's really evolved.

[@EflatunCadi]

Omg thank you for doing Mai! Love my bad bitch duelists, wish they were more cared for in the series...

[@christopherb501]

I ONLY desire a DM remake if the character economy is better and/or Millennium World in particular is COMPLETELY redone.

[@ΑΡΙΣΤΟΤΕΛΗΣΛΑΧΑΝΟΠΟΥΛΟΣ]

@@christopherb501 Sadly that can't happen now with Takahashi dead. We can always hope for a remake accurately representing the manga as it is, but no second shot at properly writing millennium world without time limitations

[@christopherb501]

@@ΑΡΙΣΤΟΤΕΛΗΣΛΑΧΑΝΟΠΟΥΛΟΣ It _can_ happen; it's just not necessarily wise or respectful.

[@KINFIN123]

Next deck profile needs to be one for a GX era character brought into Vrains era. I vote Cyrus

[@solenkierke4059]

I think you misunderstood Forbidden Droplet's effect. It doesn't lock out effects for the turn - it just means that, when activated, it cannot be responded to by effects of the same cards used as cost. It's strong, but you gave a wrong impression.

[@devynreyesjr2905]

Loved the video. Would be nice to see a Amazon version since she used a few cards

[@johnbalkin8223]

Harpie's need a rank 7. I would give her Raidraptor - Arsenal Falcon, that way you can summon any harpie you like from the deck.

[@TheLuthorri]

Haha

[@JovanVasiljevic]

I run a Harpies deck in Master Duel for fun & I use rank 7 Red Eyes Flare Metal Dragon. It works like a charm because it has 2 great effects while it has XYZ material (which i dont use since they’re used to summon Red Eyes which I dont run) 😁 But, it would be great if they released a rank 7 Harpie + a fusion Harpie. I can’t believe we still don’t have a Fusion, it’s literally DM era type …

[@Greyshadow511]

Harpie's brother was one of my favorite cards as a kid. I support putting it in the deck. ✊✊✊

[@JadenOmega]

I've been wanting to see a Jaden neos deck since last year when the Elemental Hero deck came out and plus I would love to see ur take on the modern deck for everyone's favorite turbo duelist Yusei Fudo

[@DuelSkiller]

Personally I think that Harpie's Pet's new variation was meant to replace the old one, so running both is useless. I think that also running some cards you put could be replaced for more anime accurate cards but its a neat profile.

[@Pikatwig16]

A small thing I can't help but think is that Mai looks a bit like she could be Yugi's older sister.

[@christopherb501]

Yugi's dad _is_ always away and Mai was an orphan...

[@Pikatwig16]

@@christopherb501 I know that. I just can't help but think they look like they could be siblings. I am aware they aren't, but they look like they could be is all.

[@Raiannite]

Are you ever going to finish the gx rewrite?

[@TokuBoyStudios]

I want to see a Yusei deck in the VRAINS era

[@Ankroms]

i feel like this is a good deck but kinda missing the amazoness cards that she used during battle city maybe a part 2

[@NeroPiroman]

i would add 2 more elegant egotist in the side deck instead of the vanila ladies because of the name, alongside another huntingground, as for another caracther, some of the 5ds cast would be great

[@BurstFlare]

0:57~1:02 Their "effect" of being treated as Harpie Lady is actually a Name Condition, not an effect. Conditions aren't negatable, and there are several different kinds of conditions, including, but not limited to, Archetype Conditions, Summoning Conditions, Material Conditions, and even Victory Conditions (Exodia is a prime example of that last one). 8:28~8:38 Reading the card, it looks like it merely prevents activating those cards as a response to its activation, not the entire turn.

[@nosfonader8792]

He'll always be Harpie's Brother to me. Harpies having an 1800 strong man sounds like it should be a thing.

[@gabriellacar]

Can you please do Yuto’s Phantom Knights deck?

[@windsonma8209]

I would also some how incorporate some of Mai's Amazoness in the Deck as well as she also used them in Battle City and I couldn't really imagine her completely dismantling that Deck unless I'm wrong. Although she might Use Harpies' as her Prime Cards but at the same time I would also imagine her using at least some of her Amazoness cards as well as they got her through the for mentioned Battle City Tournament.

[@RealGothGirlHours]

Big fan of this type of video, thanks for making them! I would love to see one of these for Yami Bakura.

[@rave400v6]

Harpy Ladies sisters should have a retrain. An omni-negate, token summon, and floating effect sounds nice.

[@tinotcg5815]

Would have been interesting to see Seal of Orichalcos in there

[@rayhayes7701]

I kind of run this in real life minus some things of course. Now I want some Hassleburry. Give me dinosaurs!

[@benjaminseelking9483]

I want to say "Alexis Rhodes - Vrains Era Deck Profile", since that was not only the Future, but also the Ritual Dimension, where her Cyberangels truly would belong. But we had a look at updated Alexis in ARC-V, so that might not be the most interessting Videooption right now. But since i want to push for a female Duelist here, i say give the Fairy Signer herself an update, and give us a "Luna - Vrains Era Deck Profile". Oh, and in Jadens 2021 Deck Profile, you also sorta promised to do one for the Neo Spacians someday, which would be just as nice.

[@GlassyMoth]

yuto is a deck that is very cool but lacks a lot so that's my suggestion. love the vid keep going

[@Luciper1408]

Love all your deck profiles. Hope to see a lot more. Maybe another Yugi/Atem after the new Chimera illusionist cards drop

I would like to see a Vrains era Marik deck, but have RA replaced with maybe a different life point centric dragon

[@JoshDoingLinux]

Did they un-censor this archetype? I remember as a kid these cards were way more... covered? and there was no spikes on the armor lol.

[@RenRen007]

Yes, they’ve released the “lost art” (uncensored) versions of Channeler, Queen, Dancer, and Conductor. Along with the spells, Alluring Mirror Split, and Harpies Feather Rest.

[@HerrenGamingNews]

If only we had a modern Pegasus deck! The founder of duel monsters deserves a new deck in the current era. I really wish toons were competitive in modern Yu Gi Oh.
