Not to be a bother but you might need a name change as there is already a card in the forge with the same name.

I don't really see why a name change is necessary its not a name currently in game, and its a generic name not invented by anyone on this forum sooo I'd say have a blast.

There the name thing will be an issue for some. the second issue I see is, there is not any male harpies anywhere in folklore, as far as I know. there may be some that will want an image change.

I agree with both points. I think Elements should try to be as accurate as possible, and harpies are female 

A name change would be easier though, as other already pointed out.

I feel like this card is a bit underpowered...
When it's in it's "attack" mode, it's fragile to any sort of CC.
When it's in "defense" mode, it only has 4hp unupgraded and 6hp upgraded.. which is a bit low since a lot of creatures do have more then 6 attack.

Agreed, since it's not a very strong attack you could make it heaper or the same element as the "harpy" (Air). This would make it more balanced aswell.

Yeah idk... I like the idea but it just doesn't work. Gravity pull is supposed to be a form of CC. Armagio's have 25hp and that's even easily passable in 2 turns. 6hp will just be wasting the two  to use it's ability.

[Ajit]

well... I would NOT say this is UP.

Give it a BB (basilisk's blood) or a few Heavy Armors to avoid the delay, then switch him over to attack mode and bam you have ~20 attack creature for somewhere between;

4 1 and 6 turns delay
or
4 and 3

I think the gravity pull is a nice counter to this being OP'd actually.  I don't know, perhaps the price of either the ability or the card need to be reduced.

[Wonder]

You're going to need to set up really early for that sort of strategy to work, or else your opponent will just blast away all your HP.

I'm a noob at decks buut...

mark of earth
12 air towers
5 harpies
6 heavy armors
2 sky blitz
5 shockwave

doesn't look too difficult to set up...?

[Wonder]

I guess it would work against AI3.
But it wouldn't be very effective against another rush deck.
1st turn: Play Harpie
2nd turn: Use it's ability+Heavy armor
3rd turn: Use it's ability.
Most rush decks I know can easily deal 12 damage in 2-3 turns.. and there's also a chance of not getting enough quanta or heavy armor in time for your opponent to be able to kill your Harpie when it's pulled.
And also, since it only has 1hp during the first turn it's on the field, pretty much every single CC card can kill it xD It's fragile..
