How do you feel about Day / Night effects?

By Blutsteigen, in CoC Rules Discussion

I just picked up the expansion that introduces Day / Night components into the game again. My opponent doesn't have any of these cards yet, so I am going to abstain until he picks them up.

His question is should he? How many of you don't use these cards much (by default or agreement)?

i dont use them cause i havent seen any reason to. some of the /daynight cards are good by themselves. like daybreak is good for miskatonic but the day/night mechanic of it doesnt really matter. sweet dreams is a nice event for hastur but its useless i think cause im not gonna build a whole deck around a theme for one card.

but like the 70 steps, cavern of flame, and enchanted wood, those two card to make the wood work are worth it alone. not many cards to set up sweet dreams are really worth it. if i could find night cards that added to my hastur deck sure id use them, then i could play sweet dreams. but im not gonna dilute a deck for one nice event.

the shub ghoulish predator is nice too, since day/night is kinda pointless you get cheap a character and little worry of the draw back.

Eh. If you have enough cards to set aside such cards it wouldn't hurt the game too much, but by including the mechanics if you were to buy maybe 3 of the dreamlands decks, it might be worth considering. This is especially the case for a a yog-sothoth deck, since the Gugs are just plain awesome.
