This card was heavily bemoaned around its launch as being un-fun and game-breaking. While it certainly can be un-fun (especially in RP, when combined with a Nisei token) I think it's an interesting card. Irrespective of its entertainment value, it is incredibly strong once installed, but its trash cost weakens your R&D to digs. Its natural home is probably RP, where it can make a nigh-on unassailable remote late in the game. It also has great utility against crim, making account siphon hard to fire, or as a general puzzle piece to increase how taxing a server is - for example, on R&D behind some taxing ice. Against it, it can certainly be played around - especially if the corp hasn't yet become rich. Overall, a strong card with a suitably high influence cost.

NSG [NSG Rules Team Update]
When is the latest time the Corp can rez Caprice Nisei and take affect during the run?
In order for Caprice Nisei's ability to trigger on the current run, the latest is during the the approach phase of the innermost ice, after the runner has decided to continue. This is the same window that this ice can be rezzed.
What happens if there is no ice protecting the server where Caprice Nisei is installed?
Caprice Nisei's ability will trigger after the initiation phase is complete. It is not necessary for Caprice Nisei to be rezzed before the start of the run, because the Corp can rez Caprice Nisei in the paid ability window in the initiation phase (introduced in the Elevation Rules Update).
