 In supported selected-deck Nexus starts, Ixian Betrayal now recognizes the
 actual selected stock and Richese cache, while Harkonnen Betrayal recognizes
 Basic expansion leaders and the Ix Cheap Hero identity. An owed replacement
 survives the Ix phase-opening window and draws at the original Mentat opening.
