The one thing that made Nuvem work well for me was treating its ability as non-optional. If you can gain money from it, you trash the top card, period. It's how you thin your deck, get info, and learn what your gameplan is sooner. Like, you just know what the bottom card of your deck is every game, basically.
Totally! I've always been a huge fan of MaxX, and enjoy visiting the Paranoá Shelter. Ripping cards is fine and fun. I imagine more people should be ripping more cards as a rule. That being said, sometimes the top of your deck is simply not worth two credits, a different future card, and a less safe R&D. It's definitely far, far from the majority of cases, but I'd at least advise from putting it on 'auto resolve'. Sometimes the top of your deck is exactly what you need. Or you're dodging Hermes. Or not binning a 1-pointer to turn off a 6-point Punitive. There are reasons. All that being said, I wonder if I would find Nuvem to be more fun if the ability text wasn't optional? Sure, you have less decisions to make, but I reckon I'd find it more exciting. Thanks for posting the list!
@@MetropoleGrid Yeah you're thinking too hard, gotta just rip it. If you never hesitate, and never stop ripping stuff into the bin, your opponent never gets any info from the resolution of the ability. And it's all about withholding info! Right? Right? Pay no attention to howErika beat me by finding the City Works I had in the bin before I had any Punitives in hand... :D
Totally. Nick came in through chat to explain that. I'll be honest, I can't believe I didn't pick up the reference. Apologies if my comment came off as a bit harsh.
I think Ashen Epilogue will be a more reasonable card once Labor Rights is gone in 2025. I do think Ashen Epilogue's "spend 5c for 5 cards" is crazy strong in a rich runner meta. The downsides need to be more than removing 5 random cards from game, such as not drawing cards or taking core damage.

I'm pretty sure the answer to "Why did you gender it?" (Slayer of Lads) is because it's a Nuvem version of Ladykiller.
