Forum:Too many harpies

My friend and I have been getting into alot of arguments with a particular individual lately... it all started with the harpie's deck he made his little sister. Said deck contains 3 harpy lady 1, 3 harpy lady 2, three harpy lady 3, and 3 cyber harpy lady. According to the effect of these harpy ladies the name of the card is treated as harpy lady. It does not specify field, hand, graveyard or any other location. We looked it up and it said that this is in fact illegal since they are all considered harpy lady even in the deck.

His argument is that the only rules that matter are the ones in the rulebook, and the ones on the cards. That even tournament judges make their own rules depending on the situation and that playing Yu-Gi-Oh! in a tournament is actually a completely different game. The only other rules he will respect are ones specifically in the errata on Konami's website (which to my knowledge they only give the rulings of the last three sets...). He also claims you can Divine Wrath Exodia because exodia's effect activates and thus can be destroyed and since the cards themselves and the handbook don't say specifically that drawing all pieces of exodia is an instant win than you must activate the effect thus making it able to divine wrath it. -.-

I was just wondering exactly how many other people thought this was BS...Vampiremessiah51 23:59, March 24, 2010 (UTC)
