So...mix 'em all together? Or keep 'em seperate?

With this in mind, I see where you are getting at I think, but not as much a board issue but a Villain issue. Maybe, depending on the villain, you should remove certain cards from the game that are not related to the villain.

Yeah, I think that is what I am getting at in a round about sort of way. One session I had against the Vampire had one thematic element that didn't fit when attacked by The Beast In The Dark (demonic), which has nothing to do with what was going on, when everything else fit perfectly.

I have contemplated discarding cards like this, just to save from having to go through all the decks weeding out cards, but I also like to play whats drawn (did I mention I was weird?)

That said, deck building for the purposes of theme is a strangely attractive idea, & I could even see as a remedy for deck bloat.

Yeah, I starting to lean this direction too. When I think of it as an ongoing series rather than just one stand alone story it makes more sense.
