Do You Play Clear Skies In Every Deck?

New open beta player hear. Noticed the card Clear Skies is in all the starter decks. Seems like a flexible card. Never really dead in your hand and situational value.

Do experienced players run this card as well?

I'm not playing ranked yet, but in casual i see alot of people running it. Mostly to counter weather decks or to thin their decks. As you said, it's never a dead card.

If you're running a special heavy deck (like the special scoia'tael archtype) then its a nice way of increasing the chance of pulling out bronze unit cards (Dol Blathanna protector) when you need it.

If you do not run clear skies and meet a weather deck, you might be in big trouble. Not to mention it's needed to counter the gold weather like drought and rag nar roogh

I am not experienced, but i sometimes play it and sometimes not. Depending on what i see in matches.
Most deck has Mage with clear sky as an option, and there decoy mage. And also there are minions with clear weather in the row.
If i dont run it i already have like 5 clearskies effect.

In my Nilfgaard deck I don't use Clear Skies, instead I play Vanhemar and units that mimic the effects, like Nauzicaa Standard Bearer.

 

[Draconifors]

I think I have one First Light in both of my decks (pretty much starter NG and Wild Hunt), but I nearly always either Mulligan it or pick Rally. Nauzicaa Standard Bearer and Archgriffin are doing weather removal for me.

I use one Card of Clear skies even though I have Vanhemar and 2 Nauzicaa Standard Bearers. Just because of the insane amount of weather I meet in my current ranking. Not sure if this is going to change later. This is a good card 'to be on the safe side' when you meet weather-heavy deck. If not - you can play a bronze unit. So yeah, this card is useful.

Every faction has ways to deal with weather, so you don't really need first light.
That being said, I also have one First Light in most of my decks because it's nice for deck thinning.

i have 3

I carry either 2 or 3 in most decks. There is little downside to carrying it as it thins your deck with a random bronze unit if you choose rally, or clears weather when needed.

 

[Bones-_-TheGamer]

I tried to just run a vanhemar instead, but I never seem to have him in my hand when I need him lol.

 

[MrRagdoll]

You should always have at least some form of weather clear, spesificly now as ragh nar roog is rather popular and having no way to deal with it round 3 usually spells DEFEAT loud and clear.

 

[DRK3]

I do have a first light on all my decks, and i got like 10 already. Even when i have units that deal with weather, i still usually run at least one first light.

Only time it sucks is when i call one of those golems that come with leader on nilf deck, or the elves that come when mulliganed on my scoiatel deck.

 

[Swing9]

I usually run 1-2 with Gremist.

With current super-broken RNR and Drought, Clear skies much more common on players' decks.
When those finally will be fixed - it might get to "previous stats".
