Make them enemies insane and never restore or ready.

Sacrifice the early starter cultists (Aspiring artists, Key-seekers and Servant from out of time) for the Harbringer for added control. Use the arcane dominance with Eldtown shards and Key-seekers for added utility. Son of Yeb and Bringer of Fire for defence.

Key cards San Servolo, Victoria and Elise, Unending Festivities and At Night They Roam.

Am going a bit over the card limit (58....) and trying to figure out if could use some changes. Thinking that The Greatest Fear might be too unreliable for the success abuse..

How do you plan to handle characters immune to terror?
Lev'l 15:13, Pushed into the Beyond, Stygian Eye against Willpowers, Bringers of Fire for destroy. Got some combat mixed in there also and Elise to be invulnerable and a skill threat.

Ancients are a problem though.
The Guzheng is quite helpful when dealing with big characters, as it can be put on Ancient Ones.

You could probably take out any combination of Yog characters other than the Wizard to get down to 50, as well as Fists of Yog Sothoth. That being said it seems to me like both Lost Oracle and Nathaniel Peaslee are strictly better than Arcane Initiate and would help your defenses more.
Rite of the Silver Gate is a good card against AO as well...

I think this is a very good start to your deck building career. It may have some issues that can be seen by those more experienced, but the general principle and the intelligence shown with interactions of cards and strategies is a portent of great things to come. Well done. Love the name too.
Am liking the idea on Rite of the Silver Gate and the Guzheng and will mix around a bit. Would love to have Victoria's Protegee, but sadly don't have any Dreamlands cards.. :(

Will switch around some Yoggies.. Only reason I really got Arcane Initiate was for sacrificial fodder and staying true to the cultist idea.. Do realize that need something more usable for early defences. Also problem with Servant From Out of Time is that can't really afford the resource. Still liking the loony cultist theme.. Meh. :D

Thanks for the feedback!

Obsessive Sycophant is your man !! And I'm ok with Arcane Initiate if you're focusing on Harbinger, but maybe just 2 copies and take out Servant for Oracle or Peaslee.
Just had an awesome test game with it. I was loosing quite bad to a Miskatonic weenie deck but one mistake which enabled me to use Harbinger to take control of 3 investigators on one turn turned the game around giving me instant 2 stories.

I'm liking Hastur style a lot!
