Clumsy

Curse

Clumsy cannot be played and is Ethereal, so if it is still in your Hand at the end of the turn it Exhausts. It has no upkeep penalty: the only cost is one Hand slot for one turn, after which it is gone for the rest of the combat and returns next fight. Because that exit is a real Exhaust, exhaust triggers fire on it.

When to take Clumsy

Among Curses it is the one to accept when an event offers a choice, since it causes no HP loss or Weak and never clogs a second turn. In exhaust decks it is close to free.
