VFD is banned from Yu-Gi-Oh since a while now... But what if a card just like him but close to be even better was legal ?
Harpie feather storm is the VFD of the winged-beast strategy and is an excellent hand-trap, better than imperm... Plus, with the simorgh lock, enabling your opponent to special summun monsters except wind monsters, or with revolt, allowing to do a shuraig on the opponent's turn, you have so many ways to give your apponent the "D" they deserved.
Plus, having access to a dark ruler on steroids with zerofyne or OTK with the utopia package and then do a zeus to whipe the field, you have many ways to counter dragoon.
You will need your normal summon for the harpie perfumer, this is why you play kerass, to special summon him from hand, and can get searched with the fraktall into kitt and nervall.
My locals plays a lot of backrow, this is why I play so many S/T removal but feel free to adapt yourself.
