I don't know. It is strong but first light is so ubiquitious I am unsure on it's effectiveness. Time will tell.
Well it's very obvious when they fog with aeromancy for example and that most of your strong units are on the melee row. The thing is, facing ST :
(won the first round, second round)
Aeromancy Fog.
me: uh oh, not letting you Aard there. *cast clear weather right away*
Opponent play skellige storm
me : .... all right, you got the round *pass*
third round, opponent play nature wish
me : I said nope ~ *play clear weather*
A few play later, opponent play aglais-> aeromancy
me : ........... Well, play your Aard, what can I say.
That just illustrate one single fact : a weather+aard deck can do more weather than you'll have clear weather (and for that one, Dbomb cannot do a thing). Usually, you compensate that by casting clear weather only after several weather when facing that type of decks, but here Aard can destroy two rows (not one, two....) if you do not immediately play clear weather. Sooner or later, you'll run out of them before he runs out of weather.
Worse, Aard can be played twice, because renew.
Even worse, the opponent can threaten you with a fog without having Aard in hand, and force you to play and exhaust your clear weather when he's still trying to draw the card from his deck, due to the huge threat that this possibility has.
That''s.... A bit harsh for a combo ImO. Well, we'll see how it goes.
