I always like to mix in a few class decks, to improve the variability of the cards you can find and offer more paths to upgrade characters. So, I wanted to know if anyone had suggestions for class decks that would work well for Mummy's Mask.
We've got four characters.
For Mavaro and Yoon I've ordered "Occult Adventures Deck Two", which I figure will have good cards since there are Mavaro and Yoon alts.
But I need some character decks for Ahmotep (something with staves?) and Simoun (something with knives?). Any suggestions of best choices for that and/or for melding with the themes of Mummy's Mask.
Magus has a lot of Staves and works well with Ahmotep. Unfortunately there isn’t a single deck with a lot of knives - there aren’t really a lot of ranged knives in the game period (remember the three kopises in the base set?). Maybe Rogue? There are a few knives in there, not many.

Ahem. Aren't ALL the Ranged daggers actually Knives?
There are a couple good ones in Occult 1, as well as a few good Staves. However, to the exclusion of one cool AD6 Staff - they're all copies of MM cards already.
(There's also a good weapon for Mavaro there, that uses Disable skill)
But, yeah, if there's not a great overlap with MM set - you're probably better off with Magus.
I'd been wondering if Rogue is where I should go for knives. And thanks for the advice on Magus. That sounds like a definite (and another $20 for my FLGS).
Punching Dagger, Starknife +2 and the Adamantine Sai +2 (the Knives in OA2) are actually Melee Knives. Only Spelldagger is actually a Ranged Knife.
