Pinebox Entertainment has ruled, that this card only interacts with effects that "take" ghost rock, but not ones that tell you to "pay" or "give" ghost rock. As of this writing, there is only one card in the game that says to "take" ghost rock and that is This is a Holdup!

So unfortunately, the effect of this card is kind of useless. It may be worthwhile due to paying for itself and then some over two turns, having two Control Points, and being a good value Dead Man's Hand and Kung Fu decks. But it might as well be a blank Public deed given that the only card it affects is so rarely played.

Notable Ruling:

• If a Totem's ability refers to "this location", it means Kabeda's location. Source

After noting the ruling above it's easy to see why she can be an essential part of a totem deck. She's a cheap and low maintenance starting dude who brings a nice shaman skill on her own. But, because of the ruling and her ability she is able to mobilize totems that would otherwise be easy to counter or avoid outright.

For example, Kabeda Hakurei is capable of producing call-outs at Town Square or any in-town deed while in Town Square using Mother Bear's Rage. She can also activate Silver Pheasant's Bounty from an adjacent deed booting her location instead of the deed Silver Pheasant's Bounty was originally attached to. Or use Red Horse's Tail to boot opponents in Town Square. This sets her up as quite powerful if you can keep her in Town Square. It's also worth noting that her ability doesn't require booting so pairing this ability with a Spirit like Strength of the Ancestors makes her a great Town Square camper.

Technical Errata from Rules Compendium v0.8.0 published July 6, 2018:

Tom can only move to your home or to a location that has another dude.

This makes Smiling Tom in line with the Faction update in Rulebook v1.4.0 published July 6, 2018, so that he can move to the location of any Fearmongers dude, rather than just those from the Fourth Ring Outfit.

Nicodemus Whateley Errata wording reads:

While your dudes are at in-town deeds, they gain the ability: “Noon, Boot: If this dude has 1 or more influence, give Nicodemus a control point, to a maximum of 3.”

At the end of Sundown, or if he is ever at home, Nicodemus loses all his control points.

Showboating has been banned and will no longer be a legal card for organised play events.

From Design Team, Emre Guzelsu:

Showboating’s ban stems from 2 main reasons:
First, the card violates the fundamental contract of DTR of player interaction being the game’s primary driver. A card like Showboating allows you to win the game simply by casting spells to no actual effect. While the card opened up a variety of new win condition paths, it ultimately just fueled too many NPE (Negative Play Experience) decks. As such, pulling it from the environment is the best path forward in protecting the game’s health.

Second, the card has been an incredible drag on design and playtest. When literally every skill check has to be measured against whether it fuels Showboating, that’s a severe indicator that the card has problems. By hitting the Fortress deck type (which these changes should do), we can hopefully open up the design of Spirits more in the future. This would be impossible with Showboating in the meta as any good card for Eagle Wardens was fundamentally a good card for Fortress. Hopefully this will make our job easier in providing fun and balanced cards to the players, and allow us to free up space to not need to measure every single card against its enabling of Showboating.

To answer your questions:

1. Yes, you always shuffle the deck after searching it.
2. If you get a gadget horse, you will have to invent it as normal with a mad scientist, but do so immediately.
3. As to whether or not the card is worth it, it's not bad on it's own, but the existence of Maggie Harris makes it a bit obsolete.

Also, if you're running a lot of horses you probably want your 6 of clubs spot free for Calling the Cavalry.

If you don't have those available, however, this is a fine way to get horses out on the board if your deck depends on them, and it fits into your shooting structure. Make sure there's a good reason to include it rather than just including more horses though.

I want to like this card but I have a few questions.
The first question is does the player shuffle the deck after searching? If the horse is a gadget, like Mechanical Horse, can it be played right away or should the player wait for the next time to act? My final question is would one ghost rock be worth pulling a card from your deck or discard pile?

Ivor Hawley is one of the best dudes 4th ring has for building a deck around.

This isn’t the same Ivor.

Inexperienced Ivor, much like most of the base set dudes, is simply over costed for the roll he fills. However unlike those other dudes, he has an experienced version on the same value that not only does everything he does but also lets you vomit out abominations/hexes and comes at a discount.

It isn’t even that inexperienced Ivor is bad, 4th ring needs scary dudes that can ace with soul blast and shadow walk over with enough influence to steal a win, it’s just too bad that his future version fills that niche and is almost universally cheaper.

The only reason to take this version of Ivor over his experienced counterpart is for his +1 influence (once he has a hex mind you) and frankly the difference between 3 and 4 influence on a single dude isn't worth what you are giving up.

Superficially Ivor fits with most forth ring decks. High value, abomination keyword, and strong huckster skill are all nice. However, beyond that he's really not that impressive compared to other options. Even with a hex, he's only 2 stud, 4 influence, and huckster 3. That's enough influence to make him a target but not enough bullets to fend for himself. Plus, at 9 cost and 2 upkeep he's outrageously expensive for what you're getting. Most other dudes with that price tag will have a strong ability to make it more worth while, while Ivor gets a buff that is effectively useless. 2 stud isn't particularly scary, and the Huckster 3 buff is nearly worthless considering no halfway decent huckster deck would run hexes/values that a Huckster 2 couldn't reliably cast.

Bottom line: Unimpressive and not worth the cost.

Errata wording - Effective October 21, 2017

Source: Morgan Cattle Company Errata: Effective October 21, 2017

Noon, Boot: Boot your dude to play a deed, reducing that deed's cost by that dude's influence, and move that dude to that deed.

"The original wording of some base set cards were made prior to the cardinal rule that the requirement for the use of any card is in the first sentence. In looking at Morgan Cattle Company, and conferring with a member of the original base set Design Team, we discovered that the intent of the card was to make the dude vulnerable at the deed the dude is moving to. To violate this would go against the design intent of the card."

This card is banned from competitive play. The rules compendium has a list of banned cards: pineboxentertainment.com

Pinebox lay out the reasons for the ban in this blog post: pineboxentertainment.com

Tyxarglenak can be used to add consistency to a huckster deck that may be lacking in strong shooters. His value works for Hex pulls and his 2 stud bullets let him take on enemy dudes directly. Obviously, he's most effective when used alongside hucksters. He'll allow you to actually put up a fight against a Kidnappin' on your primary huckster and prevent an Unprepared from completely nullifying all your hexes. The abomination keyword opens up all sorts of possibilities as well if you're playing Oddities of Nature.

For me, his biggest downside is his lack of influence. Even though you may want to use his 2 studs aggressively, without influence there is little he can do on his own, and he's ultimately a defensive card. He's affordable enough, but I generally dislike paying upkeep for cards that aren't giving me influence. Usually he's one of the first dudes to be taken as a casualty though, so the upkeep isn't a huge issue.

Bottom line: A strong defensive card that can protect your hucksters from shootouts and shootout actions.

While not the type of card you build a deck around, Kevin can be a good addition to a Fourth Ring huckster deck. His value is high enough to succeed on nearly any Hex pulls. He shares his value with Tyxarglenak and Forget, two cards that are good for filling out a huckster deck, as well other great J values, like Jackson's Strike. On his own, he is a mediocre card; not expensive, but 1 influence and 3 draw isn't going to make much of a difference on the board. Kevin's key feature is of course his ability. Its great because it allows a 3-stud to pop up anywhere on the board. You may usually be cautious about sending your best Hucksters into a shootout, but with Kevin, you can feel free to use them aggressively, knowing that Kevin can come to the rescue. Definitely a consideration if you're looking to add some firepower to a Huckster focused deck.

A good choice for a starter in a MCC gadget deck. His cost and upkeep are affordable, and his 2 influence come in handy in the early game. His ability basically makes him a MCC version of Micah Ryse, but is extra useful as a Mad Scientist 1 because it allows him to invent gadgets after moving. He also pairs nicely with Disgenuine Currency Press. They share the same value and with a difficulty of only 5, he can constantly invent them while moving around the board, using his 2 influence to control deeds while also providing a stream of ghost rock and card draws.

Please note a minor errata is now in effect for Henry Moran. His wording is now as follows:

If Henry is unbooted when you would reveal an illegal draw hand during lowball, boot Henry, discard the illegal hand, and reveal the top five cards of your deck as your hand instead.

This is just to clarify that his trait is a replacement effect.

The man, the myth, the legend, Nicholas Kramer. A dude the company has long waited for the likes of. A zero upkeep stud dude.... with influence! It's too bad he has zero bullets. Well, that is until you start inventing something! Yeah, he's not all that terrific in a non gadgeting Morgan deck, but for those mad enough to invent, he is what science decks have been waiting for. A potential of becoming a 4 stud, if you control 4 or more gadgets ANYWHERE! If one of those gadgets you made is a weapon Nicholas can be a 6 to 8 stud dude.

He combo's very well with Yagn's Mechanical Skeleton since both the skeleton and the dude it is attached are gadgets. Hydro-Puncher can than be added as well. Assume you have another gadget somewhere, and you've got an Jack value, 8 stud, 2 influence, zero upkeep, who cannot be moved or booted by opponents, can boot an opposing dude and an attached card! He's also got a horse in all that, so he can Run 'Em Down!, make A Slight Modification, or Do some Regulating.

It is possible to put him in a gadgeting dogs deck, the biggest issue is competition with other extremely good value 8 dudes.
