This card is weird because Agency characters (especially the Government kind) are typically rife with combat icons. You're not going to lose many combat struggles during the course of most games, so the Toughness +1 will be wasted. That is, unless you find a way to make it useful. I like to use Catastrophic Explosion to wipe my opponent's chumps off the board. Thanks to The Company, the chumps on my side can handle the wound, and now I've cleared a path to unopposed stories. There are other approaches one could take as well (Dynamite and obviously Khopesh come to mind). Whichever way you choose, a free mini-Dutch Courage isn't an asset to be minimized.
