Sister Mary's Sidekick deck

This deck is for Mary in 3-4 party setup for beginners with no taboo (as me&friends start playing just second campaign).

basic idea:

• even if Mary's 3 aren't really high, she can relly on blesses with Blessed Blade, Guard Dog or 4+: Armageddon/Shrivelling and Sword Cane;
• help your team in skillchecks, adding tokens with innate ability, Blessed Blade, Tempt Fate, Book of Psalms (and others later);
• help your team establish starting board with discounts via Rite of Sanctification;
• protect yourself (allies) from treacheries: Ward of Protection, Ward of Radiance;
• protect your clue-investigators by engaging with their enemies ("Get over here!")
• Delve Too Deep for experience for your party.
  (optionally: you can swap 1-2 of them for 1-2 Overpower at the start for consistency and comfort);

weaknesses of the deck:

• slow draw. Prepared for the Worst, Guts and Tempt Fate are here to help;
• Mary's low health. Guard Dog currently is the one to guard Mary while she's guarding others;
• low . There is no solutions for it in this deck, still you can use pips on unused Rite of Sanctification, Prepared for the Worst or if really needed commit Unexpected Courage;
• Crisis of Faith. With the starting deck you rely on yet low generation, Rite of Sanctification and Mary's 9 sanity.

Mulligan:

• Nephthys is the highest priority; (if you have it)
• Holy Spear is the second highest priority; (if you have it)
• Rite of Sanctification is extremely valuable at 1st round, especially if you able to add extra to the pool (like Tempt Fate);
  It's 4-10 resources discount to help your teammates get ready.
• any starting combat asset (if you miss Spear):
  Armageddon/Shrivelling > Blessed Blade > Sword Cane > Guard Dog;
• + and control:
  Holy Rosary, Four of Cups, Favor of the Sun;
• draw acceleration:
  Tempt Fate > Guts, Emergency Cache 2 (if get upgraded), Overpower (if you have it);

Upgrade path

Core (28exp):

• Guard Dog Nephthys (4exp) x2 = 8exp;
• permanent Sacred Covenant (2 exp) 2exp;
• Unexpected Courage Favor of the Sun (1exp) x2 = 2exp;
• Blessed Blade/Sword Cane Holy Spear (5exp) 2x = 10exp;
  (i prefer to swap blades and keep canes as they can be held in hand until needed and also provide more consistency and evasion possibility)
• Armageddon/Shrivelling Enchant Weapon (3exp) x2 = 6exp;
  (as enchant make weapon occupy arcane slot, it's logical to get rid of those spells.)

Optional:

• permanent Stick to the Plan 6exp;
  (stick 1: Prepared for the Worst,
  stick 2: "Get over here!",
  stick 3: Emergency Cache/Cache 2/Ever Vigilant)

• Emergency Cache Emergency Cache (2exp) 2exp;
  or if you stick to the plan:
  Emergency Cache Ever Vigilant (1exp) 1exp;

• Holy Rosary Four of Cups 1exp (differenct slot, possible action conservation on mulligan)

• Book of Psalms/Holy Rosary Holy Rosary 2exp 2x = 4exp;
  ( generation and 3rd card (with tarou) to get +)
