Harpie Lady beatdown

This deck takes some thinking to get it to work right since it does not 
relay on the standard beatdown monsters.  It is possible to get a fast win 
with this deck, but all to often you must use your cards and your skills to 
wait until everything falls into place.

I ran this type of deck right after Metal Raiders was released and had allot 
of success with it.  I am now using it again, with new cards released with 
Labyrinth of Nightmare.

I realize that many of these cards are not easy to get and personal 
Modifications will need to be made.Here is the deck as I currently run it 
and I have yet to be defeated with it in the few duels I have had since 
Season 2 ended.

3 x Gemini Elf
2 x Maha Vailo
1 x Sagan

50 total cards

I realize that for this type of deck 40 cards is best, but I could not 
figure out a way to get the power needed to support this deck with only 40 
cards. The extra 10 cards give this deck the necessary monster removal and 
counters to stand head to head with almost any deck even those annoying 
gravity bind decks.

Explanation of the deck:

Monsters:
Gemini Elf - Pure power
Harpie Lady, Harpie Lady Sisters - heart of the deck
Maha Vailo, Haybusa Knight - Power up heavy Hitters
Sagan, Witch of the Black Forest - Monster search
Magician of Faith - Magic resurrection
Mask of Darkness - Trap resurrection
Morphing Jar, Cyber Jar - increases deck speed to get harpies out faster
Harpie's Brother, Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer - Nice support group
Jinzo - Stops all traps

Magic:
Raigeki, Dark Hole - Monster removal
Premature Burial, Monster Reborn - Monster resurrection
Mystical Space Typhoon, Heavy Storm - Clear annoying magic and traps
Change of Heart, Snatch Steal - Steal opponent’s monsters
Pot of Greed - Extra cards
Axe of Despair, Malevolent Nuzzler - Monster power ups
Elegant Egotist - Helps help more Harpies on the field
Swords of Revealing Light - Helps in a tight situation

Traps:
Mirror Force - blocks and destroys attacking monsters
Trap Hole - Monster removal
Waboku - Blocks attacks
Royal Command - Stops filp effects
Magic Cylinder - Sends your attack back at you life points
Dust Tornado - Destroys Imperial Order, and any other magic or trap cards
Imperial Order - Stops all magic card as long as I want
Call of the Haunted - Monster resurrection

This decks best move is when you get an opening draw that has 1 Harpie lady, 
2 Elegant Egotist, 1 Axe of Despair and a dark hole or Raigeki.  This makes 
for a powerful first turn regardless of if you go first or second.

Have fun
