Yeah, the Doppelganger is pretty close to an auto-include for me. I love her as a scheme runner with Pandora because she gets access to "Misery Loves Company" from the Sorrows and can drop scheme markers while engaged, and then pop out of CC somewhere else.
Plus, cheating initiative is the win.
I'll have to look into the Hooded Rider a little closer. I'm waiting for his plastic at the moment, so might need a proxy.
