Does the Simulacrum always play a Gold card in Round 1?

The designer confirmed the setup shuffle, and a player's description of it agrees.

Yes. At setup the Simulacrum's deck is shuffled until a Gold card sits on top, so it always has a Gold card to play in the first Round, much like a starting Heir.
