So far just Call of Cthulhu. But it's possible that if the new format sells well it might eventually be used for other games.

The good thing with the new deluxe expansion is that you can build relatively strong decks based off just it and 1 core… assuming you want a MU deck. I think it's a great way to lower entry cost into a fun LCG.
I also think it's a nice idea they included two decklists that you can build using just a single core set and Seekers. I definitely plan to playtest both to see how they fare against my current deck.

After looking over the cards in Seekers, I'm wondering who _doesn't_ want to play MU? It has lots of great cards and several of them should really shine in a Mono MU deck. The new neutral cards and the new Ancient Ones are also awesome, though.

One of the great things about Call of Cthulhu is that you can play any faction or mix of factions you want anytime, so why not try a Miskatonic deck sometime? It doesn't commit you to anything after all, you can go back to playing Shub or Agency or Yog or whatever for the next game. Personally, I switch up factions all the time.
The 2-decklists thing is a great idea, and they did this with the Game of Thrones boxes too. If I had one nitpick, the two Miskatonic decks are maybe a little more similar than I'd like (a lot of cards in common), but I think with the Explorers working as they do you want to either include all or none of them which doesn't help with deck diversity as I suspect not enough characters are left to make "none of them" a viable choice. Then once you've got a whole Explorer module in there it just makes sense to take some other Explorer-related cards, and so on…
I was really surprised in the storyline that Amaranth turns out to be Eryn Cochwyn - that's an interesting twist. But, you can have them both in play at the same time due to different names, so I wonder if she is "the" Amaranth or if there is (or has been) more than one. Maybe when one dies another person is recruited to take over the role?
Also, it makes her another example of a character changing factions like Carl Stanford. Will more people be shuffled around? Fluff-wise, Miskatonic might be particularly vulnerable to this as a student researches too deeply and becomes ensnared by some Ancient One…

Another conspiracy theory: Er'nrawr is actually Eryn (Er'n) Cochwyn taken control of by some primordial reptilian ancient one (RAWR!!!!)
Damon thought of it after saying "Rawr" one time in google+ to his singular circle-friend Erin.
