Question

For Hulkling’s thwart card “Impersonation”, if it removes the last threat from a scheme can I play Turn the Tide after I go to alter-ego? I was in hero form when the last threat was removed, but I didn’t end my thwart in hero form, so it seem unclear to me.

Answer

Yes. So long as the condition was met on Turn the Tide, you can play it even if you’re in alter-ego form when you do. Since your hero was the one to remove the last threat from the scheme, then you can play Turn the Tide as a Response to that occurrence, even if your identity is no longer in hero form.
