I know the op of this merged thread is old, but I had to say, Nauz. Standard Bearer is a decent card, one of the best anti-weather lane cards, imo. I think weather's most influential aspect is causing ppl to swap cards out of their net decks and replacing them with anti-weather tech. Unfortunately, from what I've seen, many/most ppl don't do this.
One thing I would like to see is for the bronze weather cards to be combined into one bronze card, since I think there is too much weather available. Other than that, I have no problems with weather, it adds strategy to the game.
p.s. And, no, I don't run weather in my decks, I run a Rad control and some NG (all my own creations).
