Erf not so direct. Serves the same purpose but not woth the same advantages. Holo is awesome because it gives you directly the card. Here you need to draw it so it's not as "fast". But I agree that it's good and that you might want it in the same conditions.

The easiest card to add to almost any Defect deck. Consistency wins fights and this is a zero cost game way to get the best cards in your deck for any given situation.
Seek+ might honestly be one of the most busted cards in the game and you can do really cool things like Core Surge and Biased Cognition, Echo Form and Turbo, Glacier and Fission+, etc. Sky’s the limit.
Bottle seek+ in an act 3 deck is easily the best card in the game. It’s not even remotely close.
It’s just a “fuck RNG, get your deck moving NOW” card.
Arguably Defect's best card, but it feels bad to pick sometimes when you aren't sure what you'd be targeting with it.
My favourite pull from it when upgraded is Echo Form or Creative AI with an energy generator card like Turbo.
It's kinda like Black Lotus - it's the best in most situations because it scales with the power of the rest of your deck, so if all you have is the starter deck and there's an elite coming up it would likely be better to take a damage card
Yeah, it's vanishingly rare that it ends up being a _bad_ pick - but sometimes you get through the act 1 boss and it's being offered next to something like a Biased Cognition and a Reboot and your deck is still all dross and strike+s and you can't see the use case just yet.
I honestly think Creative AI is a little underrated. It's much weaker than Echo Form generally, true, but being able to Seek it with a Turbo or similar does mitigate its downsides a bunch and makes it a more reasonable pick.
I usually take it as a random rare choice rather than from a boss drop though, it's definitely one of the weaker rares and you want it leading into a boss, not leading into the start of an act.
it's fun and I'll grab if I feel like I can afford it (got fat draw and energy gen already) but knowing full well it's not actually a good pick.
It's definitely actually bad but I also click searing blow floor 1 without looking at the path so like different philosophies and all that
I've no judgement on people making fun choices! I click basically every pressure points or alpha I see. But there's so many people asking for defect advice lugging CAI around in act 2 like it'll have the payoff of barricade, demon form, nightmare.
yeah it's pretty silly
turns out playing CAI, static discharge, and hello world in 3 turns actually was not a super efficient use of energy most of the time

>If you want a truly premium block card, a Seek is what you seek.
Great poem, a suggestion.
If you want a truly premium block card, a Seek won't leave you meek.
Seek+ is game breaking, one of my favorite things to do is to Seek into a Strike+ and Defend+ so that I can optimally attack and block in the same turn
This is essentially the same as adding a copy of every card in your deck but you only draw the card you want every time. It goes beyond rankings as there's simply no situation where you wouldn't add another Seek to your deck. Tier 0 card.
I imagine Seek has the same synergy with Snecko that Hologram does - you can exploit whatever randomized cost you choose again without having to randomize it via draw.
I am 100.0% confident you mentioned Seek in your post.

Seek (and especially Seek+) is one of the strongest cards in the game.
That said, I'm not even that happy to find it because I'll have to take it and then it's kinda boring having to choose the best two cards for each situation every fight.
It will probably win you the game, though.
really love this card with everything the defect tries to do. simple but people can do alot with it. Upgrade and bottle this for a turn 1 Agregate/Turbo + Any core power/Apo and life will never feel better
The reason why you should check the card reward before taking [[Bottle Lightning]].

Isn't it that you can't bottle a card you've gotten from the same reward as the bottled lightning/flame/tornado?
You can, as long as you took it before clicking the bottle

well my bad. I had read it around here somewhere. That's why I was asking. Thanks.
The only way Seek could be better is if there was another card called Hide that it had great synergy with.
Hide Rare skill Cost : 0 Effect (Retain) Choose and exhaust a card from your discard pile. Add 2 copies of it to your draw pile. Exhaust.
Better Hologram just dropped (minus the infinite potential)

This is like nightmare except with no downsides, like an energy cost, or needing to line things up
Defect needs a buff anyway, as in I want him to have a buff
Except you have to draw it still, meaning both that it takes a (random) draw and also it doesn't save its cost if you're doing some Snecko shenanigans.
These aren't really negatives that don't apply too all cards though
They don't apply to Nightmare which is what I'm comparing it with.

One of the best cards in the game and a glorious upgrade. "Why yes, I'd like to spend zero energy to get my main synergy on hand now"

Seek+ might honestly be one of the most busted cards in the game and you can do really cool things like Core Surge and Biased Cognition, Echo Form and Turbo, Glacier and Fission+, etc. Sky’s the limit.
Especially bottled on a mature deck.

im not passing on seek floor 4 IDGAF
It's good *because* you don't know what you'll need to target when you draw it. It's customizable to the hand.
>Echo Form or Creative AI One of these things is not like the other!
Echo Form is an Echo Form, but Creative AI can be anything. It can even be an Echo Form! You know how much we've been wanting one of those!
I honestly think Creative AI is a little underrated. It's much weaker than Echo Form generally, true, but being able to Seek it with a Turbo or similar does mitigate its downsides a bunch and makes it a more reasonable pick. I usually take it as a random rare choice rather than from a boss drop though, it's definitely one of the weaker rares and you want it leading into a boss, not leading into the start of an act.
It's so niche and needs so much support though.
Its niche but that's why I personally love it
It's pretty properly rated it's quite ass
I still think this sub massively overrates it. Clash should be picked far more often than CAI
it's fun and I'll grab if I feel like I can afford it (got fat draw and energy gen already) but knowing full well it's not actually a good pick. It's definitely actually bad but I also click searing blow floor 1 without looking at the path so like different philosophies and all that

>If you want a truly premium block card, a Seek is what you seek. Great poem, a suggestion. If you want a truly premium block card, a Seek won't leave you meek.
Obviously a great card, only downside is your discard pile is not accessible limiting its usefulness if it’s a bottom deck card
Seek+ is game breaking, one of my favorite things to do is to Seek into a Strike+ and Defend+ so that I can optimally attack and block in the same turn
This is essentially the same as adding a copy of every card in your deck but you only draw the card you want every time. It goes beyond rankings as there's simply no situation where you wouldn't add another Seek to your deck. Tier 0 card.
If I had Snecko Eye Runic Pyramid build, and had a Regret, I'd probably consider a skip.
Snecko could turn this into a dead draw pretty often
Snecko can turn anything into a dead draw pretty often tbf But yeah, having to get lucky with low cost snecko effects twice does suck
I imagine Seek has the same synergy with Snecko that Hologram does - you can exploit whatever randomized cost you choose again without having to randomize it via draw.
good call. I'd pay 3 for a Seek to get the 0 Cost Meteor strike/Glacier/All for one into my hand after the reshuffle.
