My Review

The effect may not always be helpful, but it’s nice to have available in case a particularly nasty encounter card comes off the top of the deck (e.g., Charge from Rhino’s deck, or any of the Expert cards).

The low hit points (two) keeps Black Widow from being a top tier ally. However, I always pull her aside for consideration when building a Protection deck.
