Sister Mary is a support investigator who aids and protects a party of investigators by keeping the chaos bag flush with helpful bless tokens, and using those bless tokens to produce powerful effects. Her high willpower also allows her to make use of a suite of mystic cards that would otherwise be less useful to your average guardian investigators, such as Shrivelling and Blinding Light.
Try to start the game off by adding a few additional bless tokens to the bag and then using Rite of Sanctification to allow you and your teammates to gear up with assets. If you don’t draw your Rite of Sanctification and you’re low on resources, don’t be afraid to use Forbidden Knowledge to gain a few resources in exchange for horror—your high sanity and Book of Psalms ensures you’ll rarely be defeated by horror.
While your main purpose with this deck is to aid the rest of a multiplayer team, Sister Mary can do a lot on her own with the right combination of cards and luck. If the chaos bag is filled with bless tokens, a Blessed Blade has a good chance of hitting an enemy for 2 damage per swing. This deck also contains a lot of defensive options, such as the ability to cancel enemy attacks with Dodge and Hand of Fate, or treachery cards with Ward of Protection and Ward of Radiance.
Mary’s weakness, Crisis of Faith, can be crippling if it appears when the chaos bag contains many bless tokens. Try to draw cards when there are fewer bless tokens in the bag in order to less this blow, or better: Use Rite of Sanctification to seal as many bless tokens as you can when you think Crisis of Faith is about to strike, avoiding some horror in the process
