Kingmaking (👑) is a “DIY 4/3” if you're holding onto (or draw into) an X/1, as well as drawing up to 3 cards itself.

“Low-Worth” agendas include:

• Post-Truth Dividend
• License Acquisition
• Oracle Thinktank
• Superconducting Hub

See v<2 t:Agenda f:NBN|neutral z:standard .

Design:

• Like Regenesis, it “free-scores” an agenda when you score it (which I love). This encourages its own specific agenda-suites: Regenesis wants 5/3’s, esp. which have Archives-relevant text; and Kingmaking wants 3/1’s, esp. which have (non-when you score & non-hosted agenda counter-based) abilities.
• Even if you didn't care about the extra agenda point or any abilities (like False Lead), it still “removes” one agenda in your hand from the game, which is a (petit) anti-flood effect on its multi-draw.

Note:

• While it won't trigger Superconducting Hub’s conditional (on-score) ability, it does still enable its static (in-score-area) ability. For example, in @koga’s “Teeth Azmari”.
• IMO, the text would read a little better as worth 1 agenda point or less / worth 1 or fewer agenda points.

A kingmaker scenario in a game of three or more players is an endgame situation where a player who is unable to win has the capacity to determine which player among others will win.

Descent (🌀) can protect agendas both:

• with its ↳ End the run. subroutine, and
• with its Shuffle up to 2 agendas in HQ and/or Archives … expendability.

And (because it draws 1 but shuffles 2), you can still tuck away an agenda already in HQ even if you also draw another one. For example, tucking two The Basalt Spire’s or SDS Drone Deployment’s can be brutal; unlike the in-faction Drudge Work, it won't earn you six credits, but also won't take up a deck slot, and isn't rotating. (However, @Sokka’s semi-spoiled champ card Key Performance Indicators seems to be a “Weyland Level Clearance” that can tuck agendas and advance anything, which could cannibalize Descent by also being an anti-flooding effect that's “multiple cards in single slot”. IDK.)

Like Tatu-Bola, it's a $2/1s/1↳ EtR that can reposition itself (& shrug off trojans) and/or gain “unbreakable” (non-subroutine) value. AFAICT, it's the last in NSG's cycle of “gearchecks with late-game” (tho the only Code Gate):

• Ping (sg): has an On-Rez.
• Ablative Barrier (tai): has a (Threat’d) On-Rez.
• Tatu-Bola (tai): bounces to swap, for econ, and repositioning.
• Descent (rwr): bounces to expend or reposition.

Environmental Testing’s “install four programs/hardware” mini-game is kinda/sorta halfway between time-based econ (like Daily Casts) and clicked-based econ (like Telework Contract):

• While you need clicks to install programs, you don't need to waste a click on just taking credits (same as good run-based econ).

• While you only have about four clicks per turn, you can easily "cash out" quickly (like triple-clicking a Liberated Account).

For example, you can ET–program–program one turn, then program–program the very next turn (as long as you already had them in grip, or could draw into them, or have been re-installing cards, or so on). Though you will be spending credits (on installations) after having sunk three (into installing it itself).

Note: it counts up (not down) to be charge-able.

Synergies:

• Program-“Fetching” Programs/Hardware (since they double-trigger ET): Self-modifying Code, Muse (e.g. Muse–Coalescence gets you two triggers for zero credits off one card in grip), Simulchip, Gachapon, etc.

• Clickless Program-Installs: esp. in Arissana Rocha Nahu.

• Self-“Bouncing” Programs & Program-Bouncers (once you re-install): Pichação, Urban Art Vernissage, etc.

• Other “Program-/Hardware-fall” triggers, Program-Cheapeners, Program-only Hosted-Credits, or so on (every program becomes cheaper to install and/or better upon being installed): LilyPAD, DZMZ Optimizer, etc; even Az McCaffrey and Prognostic Q-Loop in Crim.

• Cheap Programs/Hardware (just sleeving up a lot in your deck, duh).

For example, with DZMZ+ET+Lily, installing a program a turn will save you $1, get you “$1.5” closer, and draw you 1 card (see “The Metric Octopus - 11th at Worlds 2023” ).

PS. An ID like Hayley Kaplan, which triggers on either turns (Runner and Corp alike), could have popped ET by manually installing only a single program (on R-turn) and then cracking SMC (on C-turn).

As @dnddmdb says in their review, "one click for six credits is simply very strong".

Nanuq (🐻‍❄️) is kinda like a “Current AI”.

Unlike other temporary icebreakers (Mayfly, Revolver, Propeller, etc) it's not recurrable/rechargeable, because it RFGs (not trashes) itself.

And unlike Runner currents (Rumor Mill) or single-turn icebreakers (Chameleon), it only helps you steal agendas during a single run.

Compare: Engolo × Curupira

• Like Engolo or Mass-Driver, Lobisomem is a [2mu] Decoder that can also break/‘melt’ Barriers.
• Like Curupira or Nfr, Lobisomem charges up by fully break-ing (which makes further breaking of Barriers easier/cheaper).
• Like Penrose, Lobisomem is a Decoder that can immediately break a Barrier.

Synergies:

• Orca: both complements it (by breaking Sentries) and charges it up (to break Barriers); also, you can Spark of Inspiration out either (as @CallForJudgement mentions in their review).

• Rigging Up: you ramp it out for [$5] and 2 power counters (it's immediately ‘chargeable’ because it reads When you install this program and …, place 1 power counter on this program.).

Flavor: “lobisomem” is pronounced [lobizˈõmẽj] in Brazilian-Portuguese (like “lo-bee-zO-meng” in English), and means “werewolf” (from Latin “lupus” (“wolf”) +‎ “hominem” (“man”)).
