2 resources for 2 thwart is about as bad a rate as it gets, not to mention the up front cost to put this in play. There are a handful of upsides such as this being Psionic for Psimitar and giving you an excuse to play 3x The Power of the Mind without them going to waste on a resource-heavy hand. In protection or aggression, which struggle for unconditional threat removal, you could probably play this, but look to your basic allies first.
