Fog has personally helped me win many a game. I can't remember how many times someone would attack with every creature they have in play (undoubtably bigger and better creatures than mine) only for me to Fog them all and retaliate with a counter attack of all of my creatures the following turn (assuming my opponent ins't playing green). Make sure to always use Fog as late as you possibly can--if you foolishly Fog before attackers are announced, usually your opponent won't attack with anything.
