Question

Looking for some clarification on Red Skull’s The Rise of Red Skull Main Scheme (1A). It says that I should put every other side scheme into the side-scheme deck. 1) Does this include Player Side Schemes (PSS)? Which I believe have been ruled as side schemes? 2) Would a player deck with 40 cards (inclusive of side schemes) be a valid deck? 3) In addition, Rise of Red Skull Insert states a side-scheme is defeated or otherwise discarded to place it in the side-scheme discard pile. Does this override the Victory keyword?

Answer

In the Red Skull scenario, only shuffle side schemes from the encounter deck into the side scheme deck; do not shuffle any player side schemes into that deck. After defeating a player side scheme during that scenario, place it in its owner’s discard pile. Any side scheme (player or encounter) with the Victory keyword should be placed into the victory display when defeated instead of in a discard pile.
