Pulled Under has never posed a problem because I have 4 low cost Character cards that can play it and 5 Ancient One Cards. The reality of this deck is that it requires a pile of cards to be used for resources. This means Pulled Under goes under if I do not have a dual Terror Character in hand/play to match up with it. Often times I need to make a tough decision when resourcing and PU provides a clear cut choice depending on what is in play. Besides, nothing better than an opponent running at Cthulhu with a Willpower/Toughness Investigator thinking they are getting that 5th token on a story with the Investigate struggle only to have the Great Cthulhu pull them under!
There aren't any other beneficiaries for Seeker in this deck, unless you pay to play Terror of the Tides, but you probably don't play it that way. You can take out Julia. Also I would recommend Deep One Assault instead of Pulled Under, especially if you resource a lot.
Seeker goes for Cthulhu, Hydra, and if I get a late game pull I will even play Terror at full cost with her help (but I have only done this once).
I do use DoA. In fact, every Event in the deck kills stuff! Actually Dreamlands Fanatic goes off less than one might think so I could try that trade in...
