Outside of heavily damaged units or 1 point treants, I don't think there are many good ST targets.
Where the neophyte will really show its value is against NG disloyal units (or their poison cows), with particular value against Roderick, Cantarella, or Joachim. Turning those units into Deadeyes makes Coup an almost useless card while shutting down some of the recent 4 x Joachim decks.
