This card, whether it shakes out in the meta or not, is an absolute triumph of narrative design and storytelling. I looked up the translation of Jeitinho expecting it to mean something like "murder/assassination",or perhaps to be a particular type of weapon. However, Jeitinho (from wikipedia) "is a Portuguese word to describe a method of finding a way to accomplish something by circumventing or bending the rules or transgressing social conventions." This is working thematically here on so many levels. Narratively, it speaks to Mercury's desire to both subvert her bioroid programming, and also to 'solve' the Automata Initiative. However, it is also mechanically circumventing the rules of netrunner by allowing the runner to win by alternative means. In some respects, Jeitinho is best exemplified not by the card itself, but the current efforts by the community to make it work as a wincon.

A sincere congratulations to the narrative, design and development teams at NSG- brilliant design!

She might seem innocuous but this clone bounty hunter pulls a lot of weight. At first, I dismissed her as merely an in-house alternative to the much-loved NGO Front: a cheap way to drag a runner through a nasty server and make a buck out of it. What makes Charlotte Caçador so much better than NGO Front is that wasting the runner's money and time is the floor for her effectiveness. If left unchecked, she becomes a value engine that just keeps hauling in bounty heads while you wait for something good to put in her server. Put her down behind a cheap gearcheck and tick her once turn 1. The runner has a couple options:

• Ignore Charlotte and run centrals hunting for a lucky agenda (or faceplanting into an unlucky Snare!)
• Ignore Charlotte and money and install up
• Run Charlotte and bounce off your gearcheck
• Use a trick card to get into Charlotte's server, you pop her and recoup the effort.

In the first three scenarios, Charlotte lives for sure, and you get a Hedge Fund's worth of value. You spend two clicks as you wish, then you click Charlotte again. The runner has the same choices but now they know running her will be a waste of time, but also know you getting extra draws and Hedge Funds is not viable for long term success. She's an NGO Front you can use every turn, allowing you to draw into Agendas or punishing cards while simultaneously netting you the funds you need to play and rez nasty ICE or pay for other cards. Give her all the field work she wants -- you won't regret it.

Sometimes we write flavour text for a card before we know if there will be space for it or not. This is one such card, so here I present the flavour text for posterity:

Rogue clones are like wayward children in need of discipline, and love.
