I can see this being extremely useful against villains like Thanos, who will always have the Infinity Gauntlet attached(or any villain with a permanent attachment). It might work best with the Honed Technique Upgrade since that card requires 2 intellect resources in order to even play it. The fact that Surprise Move stacks the intellect resources in your deck is good synergy.
I could be wrong, but I don't think villain attachments count as upgrades

I didn't think much of this card when it released, and still not really seeing a big value to it. Rogue, Valk, Cyke, Nightcrawler, and Iceman are the most likely candidates, having enemy upgrades built into their kit, but it doesn't seem good for any of them. Ice wants to keep his frosts on the field, this would remove one if the ready were triggered. Ditto Rogue and Nightcrawler. Valk gets the ready from deathglow anyway so this is just kinda worse skilled blow for her. I suppose there's an argument for cyclops, so he can get a minion kill in and ready to thwart? But big meh for me on this.
