Thanks to RageLeague for telling me these aren't the new cards added. Below is just a much older set.

Spoiler

The new cards are a neat Smith version of Sal's instincts. 

Nepotism:

Inserts either the card Self Promotion or the card Clout into your hand.

Cost: 1

Type: Manipulate

• Self Promotion:
• Gain 1 Renown. (Technically adds 2 I think, but it's because Renown now decays)
• Cost: 0
• Type: Diplomacy

 

• Clout: Converts 1 Renown into 1 Dominance
• Cost: 0
• Type: Hostility

Nepotism either upgrades into...

Courtly Nepotism 

Insert either the card Buffer or the card Compel into your hand

Cost: 1

Type: Diplomacy

• Buffer
• Gain 1 Renown and apply Composure equal to half of your Renown stack to it.
• Cost: 0
• Type: Diplomacy

 

• Compel
• Spend 1 Renown, you next card this turn deals double damage. 
• Cost: 0
• Type: Diplomacy

Or...

Degrading Nepotism

Insert either the card Notion or the card Overturn into your hand.

Cost: 1

Type: Hostility

• Notion
• Improvise a hostility card from your draw pile.
• Cost: 0
• Type: Hostility 

 

• Overturn
• Convert more than 1 Renown into that much Dominance (I think the max amount is 3??)
• Cost: 0
