George Stacy · MarvelCDB

George Stacy is a fantastic card, there is no doubt about it! One of the key issues with Response events is drawing them at the right time, and Captain Stacey helps manage this.

Being able to save cards for future use and play them as if they were in your hand is unquestionably effective in a game where you draw a new hand every turn. For a single cost, this is one of the best Persona Supports in the game; it was wise for the designers to target this card with Gwen's Obligation.

On top of all of that, George is usable in both Hero and Alter-Ego form, being able to save Events in any form.

I rate this card an S: The ability to extend your hand size and have Events on the ready is incredibly powerful and works with any build in any Aspect, all for a single resource.

What does the "facedown" part of this mean exactly? — Mr Suplex · 1 5/19/22

@Mr Suplex Basically it hides the information from the other players while still attaching it. It also means that when Worried Father comes out, all those cards are discarded — Redi Spades · 1 6/13/22

Why would you need to hide that information? Wait a minute, the attach limit is for George Stacy's action only? Meaning I can attach past the 3 maximum using Parental Guidance?! — salsatheone · 2 10/15/22

The purpose of them being isn't to hide the information from other players, it's to make it clear that those cards aren't active or in play. And technically yes, you can use Parental Guidance without worrying about a maximum. — Death by Chocolate · 4 11/17/24

Counterpoint: George Stacy sucks. You should be using all of the cards in your hand every turn. Every turn you do that, George Stacy does nothing. If you end up with one card left in your hand that isn't an event, George Stacy does nothing. Maybe it's just the kind of deck I play, but I've had that card sit there after being played on turn 1 without using it once. I think it really depends on your deck. With the deck I play, it's a D. A card you are forced to put in your deck that can be totally useless in some decks can't by definition be an S card.

It's a card that costs 1 and lets you store a good event to use at the exact moment you need it as opposed to just playing cards because you have to be "efficient", I can't imagine a hero that wouldn't want to be able to store their big attack or their big defend card for when they need it most. Maybe it's not an "S" but it's a cheap outstanding support — Jvenom23 · 20 9/21/25

You have a 5-card hand in hero form. You attack, play Ghost Kick, draw from a Web-Bracelet, and now have 3 cards. You attack again, play Phantom Flip, draw from your other Web-Bracelet, and now have 1 card in hand which can't be used on its own. This is a very common scenario for Ghost-Spider, and George helps with that by either letting you tuck that last card, or spend that last card on some other Event that you previously tucked under him. It's not about holding on to cards rather than using them, it's about turning what would otherwise be leftover cards into later advantage. — Leethus · 310 9/21/25
