I'd keep it and use it, but in a different way...
I'd avoid using it to cheat mechincs-wise, but use for introducing plot complications that benefit the bad guys or hurt the good guys.
For example, don't use it to negate the Rogue's Sneak Attack Crit on the BBEG. Instead, let the bad guy go down, but have an influx of minion reinforcements arrive, allowing the BBEG's bodyguard to drag his lifeless body away under cover and escape. And award the PCs Action Points for letting you have the not-quite-dead-yet BBEG to escape, even though they were victorious.
In other words, use it for "It's a trap!" and "I'll get you next time!" moments.
