Question

I have some questions to consult with you. 1.I play Clear the Area and removes the last threat of The Search for Spiral.Can I draw 1 card? 2.A double-sided side scheme,such as Stryfe’s Grasp or Light at the End.If I remove the last threat on one side and trigger its forced ability to flip over,did I defeat the side scheme? 3.My hero has a tough status card.Can I trigger the hero action on The Search for Spiral just to discard my tough status card?

Answer

  1. Yes; you still removed the last threat from The Search for Spiral, so you can draw a card with Clear the Area.
  2. Yes; removing all threat on a double-sided scheme and flipping it still counts as defeating that scheme, so long as there was no Forced Interrupt replacing the defeat.
  3. No; The Search for Spiral got an erratum making the “take 2 damage” effect on the scheme an ability cost for removing the threat. A Tough hero cannot take damage as a cost, so they cannot remove threat this way.
