The Monastery is maybe not necessary, but EXTREMLY useful:
- +1 hand size for a combat relying deck
- an optional stealth for Thetmes' rush actions
- +1 stealth for a graverobbed bleeder with Cap 8+ (you WANT to pass a bleed by Stanislava ^^)

yes but 3 pool is a lot.
I'd always opt for dreams instead, or even, to keep the theme, Black throne.

But, down to playstyle, i guess

Depravity must stay, without it, you must pray for an additional strike to put down that pesky Lodin, or anyone with guardian angel

There's always Preternatural Strength or Heroic Might for Thetmes. Yeah, not a lot of actions to spare necessarily, but those are solid options.

Heroic might costs too much. Tried preter strength, but somehow, Thetmes always has a more important action to do, since he is not really into multiacting unless he is a Monster
