Also, if you use Draw Four on a deck and it has less than 4 cards Nem will mix in one card, which can be really bad. Of course, I usually don't draw blindly in really dangerous situations, so yeah.

That's something that should be automated if it relies on chance.

If you remove really horrible cards from that deck, I can see trying that ability. Then again, weird that you have both physical decks Nem gifted to you and also some god-deck.
Yeah I thought it would be interesting to literally have every card at your disposal that nemelex would gift normally but no real way of accessing them reliably until higher piety.
With the ability that I mentioned I think Nemelx would still have to keep the conduct of not liking wasteful card usage, to avoid silly spamming. I mean other than this I can't really think of a way to avoid item saccing for decks.
Perhaps some sort of black jack mini game or something?
Or what if we completely overhaul Nemelex and base his abilites around Tarot decks? Those have tons of flavor.
But yeah, removing one of the most unique and interesting god in this game would be a pity, I'd probably stop downloading new versions or somehow keep him coded in the game.
