Marie is a special promo investigator and I had a question concerning her deck building restrictions. Here is the restrictions:

Spell cards level 0-5, Mystic cards () level 0-3, Neutral cards level 0-5, Occult cards level 0, up to five other level 0 Seeker and/or Survivor cards ( and/or ).

Let's assume there are going to eventually be some Occult cards in the non-mystic factions. For this example, let's assume it is a Seeker card. If I include 2x of this Occult card in my deck - how many slots do I have left for other Seeker/Survivor cards?

Does the Occult lv 0 restriction free them from applying to the "up to five" limitation?

I believe so, because it says "Occult...and up to five other level 0..."

So the last 5 Seeker/Survivor is separate from everything that comes before it. Same would apply for any spell cards that happened to be Seeker or Survivor.

Exactly so, which makes for some very cool deck building flavors. I mimic'd this technique when I made a few of my own custom investigators. I particularly like my Insight focused Rogue with 5 lvl 0 survivor/mystic card access.

Deciphered Reality (a high level insight card) as an available card option has made her decks so much more interesting and fit amazingly well into her backstory.
