Hiya all,

I'm new to CoC card game and am currently building a mono-Cthulhu deck. However, I am not sure whether to use Primal Fear or Called by Azathoth. Both have the cost of 1. Which one do you guys think will better or will they be dependent upon the composition of other cards?

Personally favor Called by Azathoth, permanent > surprise factor for me.

Another vote for Called By Azathoth!

Yeah, I love the art on that card, and the effect is legendary....being able to neutralize even almighty Ancient Ones, IIRC.

Only thing that is odd is that it's Cthulhu only, when they have Azathoth himself as a Neutral. Seems odd that they gave it to Cthulhu, seeing as they get a ton of good and useful cards as it is .... in fact, in most of my test games and actual games - it seems Cthulhu faction is the MOST able to "stand on its own" as a viable and powerful Mono-Deck (only 1 Faction) - compared to any of the other groups you could make.

Sure others CAN be effective (mono-Agency, or mono-Syndicate Rush ....sometimes.... ), but Mono-Cthulhu is almost ALWAYS workable and powerful with tons of cost reducers (* I allow for a few Neutral cards, while still counting the deck as ...largely Mono - meaning you could throw in 3-Seekers of Mystery, to aid with Cthulhu coming out early*)......strong characters......Terror AND Combat (on many creatures).....and exceptional Destruction Effects (almost anything in the game can be taken out by the right Cthulhu card: Sac-Offerings, Pulled Under, Get it Off, Deep One Assault, etc. . .).

Yes I would agree with you that Cthulhu is indeed a strong faction. Most of the other factions I play seems to need another faction as complements. All the Deep One cards have 3 icons in them and when you add Shadowed Reefs, they will have four icons. Furthermore, I like Feather Serpent where they have the flexibility to convert their terror icons into combat and arcane.
