This starting deck for Marie is building you into a powerful clue finder that will rely on Archaic Glyphs to clear entire locations of clues (and sometimes still have 3 actions remaining!).
The general idea is to get the Archaic Glyphs out as fast as possible, and translate them asap. Use the Research Librarian to tutor the lvl 0 glyphs and quickly replace her with something more useful. Use Alyssa Graham to also search faster if needed, especially if you have your moonlight ritual ready.
Truth from Fiction and Enraptured will help translate the stones more quickly, but can also be used after you have 2 copies of guiding stones in your deck to boost your success value when it triggers, maybe even allowing you to place another charge on the stones. Once the upgraded glyphs (guiding stones) are out, rely on your vast reserve of wild and intelligence based skills to boost your investigation test as high as you dare. You will get EXTRA clues for every +2 you are over the shroud!
If you notice your powerful skill cards dwindling, or if you have used up all of your spell charges, quantum flux them back into your deck! Remember that putting a doom on Alyssa or the Arcane Initiate will allow you to use Marie's ability to trigger the upgraded glyphs as a free action, but it will also come in handy when trying to find time to play moonlight ritual or pull extra investigate actions with rite of seeking (or if needed, extra resources with alchemical transmutation).
Your first upgrades should clearly be the glyphs to guiding stones, but you'll want to follow that up with powerful spells with charges as well. Feed the Mind or Arcane insight will increase your ability to boost your glyph investigations, while you may also want to consider nabbing suggestion to help you navigate enemies more easily. Free evade if Alyssa has been all doom and gloom? Don't mind if I do!
A Spirit Athame or two may be useful to help charge your guiding stones even further. Don't ditch the extra arcane spells with charges as you will be able to pull from unused spells to power torrent of power for +4 to your guiding stones. As you can see, Marie is running light on hand items. If you prefer, Research Librarian can later be swapped out for spirit athames or exchanged for a magnifying glass once the glyphs have been deciphered.
Drop delve too deep to make more room for these spells and upgrades once you feel like you've juiced enough out of it.
