Play 3x Seeker Lucia, Seeker Lynn, Arcana Magician, Youngest Knight and 2-3x Meteor Call. Use Sigma for a character card or go off-faction for Darklore if you want a lot of removal. For reference, my ladder deck which was quite successful (the less refined version got top3): http://goo.gl/VKa1p Keep in mind, ladder was capped at 300DP so there are a couple of weird choices/exclusions for that reason. Also, it's horrible for PVE. | ||

Could you help me with that? : ) I believe a heavy seeker deck isn't that strong. However, if you plan to use it, I'd likely go with a fairly standard deck. Some key cards would be Seeker Lucera, Seeker Lydia, Seeker Director, and Seeker Melissa. Seeker Sarah isn't that good of a card as non-swarm crux decks burn through cards like no other but I could be wrong. But the general consensus seems to be there is no deck that can really use her ability well. Additionally, with a non-swarm deck of this type, 2 X World of Kana, 3 X Educational Results, and Luthica's Ward should be included. Plus you need either 1 X Brilliant Brain or Knight's Letter. Both are luck dependent but you play them when you have a surviving buffed follower as your opponent will almost certainly play some type of removal and a chance to stop it is key (and regardless, an additional spell buff wouldn't have helped even if your choice of the above fizzles). I'd say you would probably want 14 followers and 16 spells in this deck. Crux's main weakness is a lack of removal so you still need to include 2 non-Crux removal cards (don't use Arrest as it sucks). "Shrink", "Swap Spell", "Final Blow", etc - whatever to stop an opponent's snowball. Once you have one of these cards in your hand, try not to shuffle as they are you "reset" cards that you will need at some point. But otherwise I'd listen to Celerity. His deck type is strong in the current meta for pvp and something I wish I had thought of using myself (part of why I rarely play now - too hard to switch deck types to adjust when one realizes their deck isn't optimal). | ||

This might be a good starting point with no DRs included: http://goo.gl/fUDmr I'm sure it's not optimal, you might want to add a few random removal spells like Arrest, Unionize, and Maximum Drive. You might also be able to go up to 3 Sarah but I'm not sure. I wouldn't play Kana in this deck, but Sigma is 100% the best character card for it. | ||

Even more than against Academy. Against Academy I can play removals and put buffed followers in the way for them to deal with. At the very least make it a back and forth game. When I do that against Darklore they just don't give a fuck. The lack of pressure makes predicting their next move very difficult and I feel like every move I make is the wrong move to play. So what are some ways that Crux applies pressure to Darklore? And if I can't apply any pressure are there specific set ups I should avoid doing or watch out for Darklore to do? EDIT: Here's my very incomplete deck. I think the main reason you struggle vs Darklore is that you have too many spells. 18/12 or 17/3 are the standard ratios, but you have 14/16. That's way too many for a follower-based deck. In general, followers with a high base atk are effective vs Darklore, and always play around Forced Confinement. | ||

It's also extremely important to note that DRs can be exchanged for other DRs from the same set, and most of them are faction-specific, meaning, you can switch over your Crux DRs for Vita DRs if you feel like changing decks. You usually don't need more than one or two DRs from each set. I just realized I should be grinding a DR from another faction to save ores for my own faction. /facepalm Edit: also, ep4 D.Rares are stupid expensive. 288 cat dolls, I'm like only a bit more than 1/2 way to my cat dolls #. T_T Some guy gets this out in during 1 turn. Can't unionize, spell swap or meteor call it, yay, | ||

I see crux decks now having two legitimate paths to victory: stall and snowball. The threat of lightning blade (even if you don't actually play it) makes dudes facing crux actually think about how they lay out their cards. Single flower leads to some interesting plays and can be used, in the worst case, as a 1-drop shuffle. The new Seeker Lydia is pretty OP stall. Stronger than luthera, I think. Ep 5 buffs are garbage. I don't understand what confirmation does. Weary progress is a joke of a card. Lukeef is OP removal. | ||
