Incredible value with silk once you have eidetic memory in play as you can cancel any encounter card as long as you have a tucked treachery from the same set, and you can avoid wasting your hp until then.
Expensive, restricted, requires completing at least 2 side schemes to justify its use, but its only really worth past 3+ completed PSS.
Yes, on late (if you survive and accomplish enough to reach late) its spending a for 3/4 ranged damage. But until then its a constant dead weight in your hand and in your board.
I agree I think this card is the reason why I constantly lose playing Cable

Well I would play it when you defeat lock and load so you circumvent the cost. And even 2 damage for 1 energy can be worth it if you would have an unspent Ressource of Greymalkin otherwise. Sure it's not top priority but far from a dead weight especially when it's on the board already

AKA Look at the top 5 cards of the encounter deck and have a shot at removing Shadows of the Past from the game! 200 characters 200 characters 200 characters 200 characters 200 characters 200 characters
What I like about this is that it's flat 4 threat and not per player so it can be quite helpful for example with Chance Encounter or the new Stealth training

Some simple tips for optimizing this card:
- If you're about to reveal a Labor that might be Protect Humanity and Amadeus is in your hand, consider whether there's value in discarding him to pay for another card before doing the reveal, since he's entering play whether he's in your hand or discard, but you're losing out on the resource if he's entering from your hand.
- Herc's Helm counts as defending without exhausting Hercules, letting you do a basic defense if an encounter or player card causes you to be attacked again, or save your basic action for something else during the player phase.
- Currently available aspect cards which trigger an attack by the villain and could let you clear this one turn faster: Bait and Switch, Get Behind Me!, Get in Front of Me!, Ready for a Fight, Taunt, Toe to Toe.
Legitimately, this guy gets it done. I am willing to sacrifice a hand or two to get Foggy on the table because his only restriction is your hero being in alter-ego. Daredevil flips down plenty to compensate for the damage from Elektra and The Man Without Fear, so Foggy has plenty of opportunities.
But let's just think about how he is a free THW with no consequences exactly when you need it...being in Alter-Ego while the villain schemes.
I'm frankly astonished that there weren't further restrictions on Foggy like "non-permanent side scheme".
