    Almost explicitly telling you to use it with Nugget (RCL) #162… Still probably wont ever see play, given that Oranguru (SSH) #148 could do the same thing.

      Nugget tells that you can play it only when you draw it “at the beginning of your turn”; so it shouldn’t work with either Oranguru or the Cups?

        If you draw into Nugget using a trainer, ability, or attack, you can put it back on top of your deck to get the effect on your next turn.

          Also works great with Pokemon that have Top Entry, like Luxio · Shining Fates (SHF) #032 and Lombre · Rebel Clash (RCL) #008.

    Also will work great with the new Gutsy Pickaxe card!
