Yu-Gi-Oh! IMPH reportedly brings a Mai Valentine Amazoness and Harpie deck
Ten Japanese reveals for the OCG set IMPH reportedly mix Amazoness and Harpie Lady cards into one Mai Valentine strategy, topped by a 3000 ATK Harpie Lady Sisters Fusion.
Mai Valentine is the next anime duelist to get support in the Japanese Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG set IMPH. According to translations of the Japanese reveals, ten new cards blend her two classic families, Amazoness warriors and Harpie Ladies, into a single EARTH and WIND deck built around Fusion Summons. The reveals open on a story beat: Mai faces Yami Marik once more in a Shadow Game.
Four main-deck monsters
The new Amazoness cards are named after attacks and effects from the manga. Amazoness Fighter - Instant Kill Dance can Special Summon itself when it reaches the hand without being drawn, then Sets a Harpie Lady Spell or Trap from the Deck. Amazoness Spellcaster - Forbidden Spell Dance searches another Amazoness monster and can Fusion Summon an EARTH or WIND Fusion directly from the Main Phase, which makes it a likely starter.
Amazoness Chain Master - Brink of Death Chain Dance carries a gamble: when it is sent to the graveyard while another Amazoness monster is already there, its controller can pay 1000 LP and the opponent either hands over a Level 10 monster from their Deck or Extra Deck or loses a random card from their hand. On the Harpie side, Harpie Lady - Alluring Dance counts as Harpie Lady on the field and in the graveyard, swaps itself in for an EARTH or WIND monster during the Main Phase and fetches a Harpie Lady Spell or Trap.
Two Fusion bosses
Amazoness Swordmaster, a Level 7 Fusion of two Amazoness monsters with 2600 ATK, calls a smaller Amazoness from the Deck when it arrives, draws when an Amazoness wins a battle and can cut an Effect Monster's ATK while negating it.
The headline card is Triangle Ecstasy Harpie Lady Sisters, a Level 8 WIND Fusion of three Harpie Lady monsters with 3000 ATK. It grows by 500 ATK for every Harpie Lady in the graveyard, cannot be targeted by the effects of non-WIND monsters and can wipe the opponent's Spells and Traps once per turn.
Spells and Traps with Mai references
Elegant Tri-Mirror searches a Harpie and can later Fusion Summon from the graveyard. Harpie & Amazoness Rakshasa Formation revives a fallen monster and scales with the board, up to destroying every monster the opponent controls with three or more on the field. Amazoness Dramatic Rescue nods to Mai's old Trap, and Eyelluring Mirror Wall recreates her Duelist Kingdom combo by forcing the opponent's monsters to attack and halving an attacker's ATK.
What we still don't know
The reveals do not include a release date, price or English release. IMPH has already shown Rokka and Amazoness cards and Teardrop the Rikka Empress.
Key takeaways
- Ten reported IMPH cards turn Amazoness and Harpie Lady into one Mai Valentine strategy.
- Triangle Ecstasy Harpie Lady Sisters, a 3000 ATK Fusion, is the deck's top threat.
- Release details for IMPH are not announced in these reveals.
