You did not answer the important question: What is the goal of the suggestion?
I really not understood the meaning of the question :)
When you make a suggestion (a card suggestion thread) you believe that the suggestion would improve the game. Crusader was intended to enable more uses of the abilities weapons possess. What improvement are you suggesting?
The same question applies to Yuki-Onna
As I said in chat, about Yuki-Onna:
Create a synergy  :water :gravity and allow to  :water to have a little PC, like ice bolt with opponent weapon.

Can I have an opinion (and suggestion) to Yuki-Onna | Yuki-Onna (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,34760.0.html) too, please?

As I said in chat, about Yuki-Onna:
Create a synergy  :gravity :water and allow to  :water to have a little PC, like ice bolt with opponent weapon.
It certainly does have a  :gravity :water synergy and allows  :gravity :water to have antiShield PC.
The stats are worth about 7 :water|5 :water. The anti targeting ability is probably worth between +1 :water and +2 :water.
7 :water|7 :water +1card total.

Since it is so resilient it might be wise to reduce the stats to cheapen the cost.

Note: Creatures do not target to attack.

Why anti-targeting? It can be affected to an opponent ability.
What about 4/6 and 2/10 cost 5:water both? Compared to abyssal crawler and toadfish/puffer fish seems balanced

Anti-targeting: An effect that prevents or discourages targeting.

4|6 / 2|10 for 5 :water|5 :water +1card sounds fair

Find a standard: Solar Shield has DR 1 and converts DR 1 worth of blocked damage into  :light.
Note differences: The quanta generated is  :rainbow in your case.
Note differences: DR increases when upgraded in your case.
Find more standards: Titanium Shield | Diamond Shield and Shield | Tower Shield are good examples of DR increasing when upgraded.
Note more differences: The quanta gained will also increase in your case.
Note more differences: Hybrid quanta falls between Elemental and Random quanta in terms of cost.
Assemble the pieces.

is hybrid worth +1 or +2?
X cost is about equivalent to
X Elemental quanta
1.5 + 1.5 * X Random quanta

Hybrid quanta, having access to more than 1 but less than 12 types of quanta, would lie between those values.

Find a standard: Solar Shield has DR 1 and converts DR 1 worth of blocked damage into  :light. which cost 3 | 2 :light
Note differences: The quanta generated is  :rainbow in your case.
Note differences: DR increases when upgraded in your case.
Find more standards: Titanium Shield | Diamond Shield and Shield | Tower Shield are good examples of DR increasing when upgraded. which cost 4 | 6 :earth
Note more differences: The quanta gained will also increase in your case. 1 quanta appears to be free, 2 seems to cost 1.
Note more differences: Hybrid quanta falls between Elemental and Random quanta in terms of cost. is this a +1 or +2
Assemble the pieces.
1 DR appears to cost 2 on average.
UN(So 1 DR = +2 + 1 quanta gain = +0 +Hybrid =+1 or +2)= 3-4
U(And 2 DR = +4 + 2 quanta gain = +1 +Hybrid =+1 or +2)+upped = -1= 5-6
is all my assumptions correct?

When Titanium's DR 2 is increased by 1 by being upgraded, the casting cost increases by 2 despite the upgrade cost reduction.
Other than that, your assumptions appear reasonable.

Do you have it written down anywhere, the common reusable mechanics and the values?

1 cost = 1 quanta cost or 1 card cost
+1 attack = +1 cost

Permanent cost = +50% Creature cost
Upgrade = 1-2 cost reduction
 :underworld :underworld/ :underworld :underworld :underworld (Creature/Permanent) activation cost = -1 Cost
 :underworld :underworld :underworld activation cost = -2 Creature cost
 :underworld activation cost = +1 Permanent cost
Duo = -1 cost
Trio (hopefully not on 1 card) = -2 cost
Hp
1-5 = 0
6-7 = +1 cost
8-9 = +2 cost
10+ = +3 cost

X :underworld = (1.5 + 1.5 * X) :rainbow
