Cons
- Biggest problem is lack of cards that let her take horror for an effect, which would maximize her clue generation.

- Strength is her dump stat, but can be mitigated by pairing with others.
Thematic elements

Quotes (from this video)
- So yes, we have five new standalone investigator decks kind of like the ones that Fantasy Flight had uh quite a while back for season 1 or chapter 1, what whatever the uh new and old Arkham stuff are being called.
- Now the biggest problem with that in her entire deck and in fact in all five of these decks is that nobody has, that I saw, a single card that lets them take horror for an effect, which would be awesome because then, since she has tons of ways to heal horrors you can imagine, she could hoover up clues really effectively.
- So he's just kind of a weird guy. I don't really know what his deal is.
- And honestly, that's how I describe Marie even with her damage ability. She's a pretty basic mystic. She gets the job done, nothing uh special, but uh still a solid entry in the series.
- If you are a veteran of the series, I don't see any need to have these, honestly.
- Now for a newcomer, somebody who just bought the new core set, I think these are nice because having more investigators increases your options quite a bit and these people are doing different stuff than what the investigators in the base game did.
- And then definitely the oddball that I can't really recommend unless I'm just totally missing some cool things. Miguel seems actively weak with his deck and if you're a newcomer, you don't have that many deck-building options to make him stronger.

Quotes (from this video)
- So, I'm going to put this one in fine.
- Yeah, I think this is just a good card.
- This card's nuts.
- I think this card's just fine. I don't think I mean like the icons on it are nice, but there's a little secret. Sometimes when an effect is not that great, the icons on it are really nice to make up for that.
