Question

If at the start of your turn the nebula hero is confused and has “cutthroat ambition” in play and there is zero threat on any schemes in play, would cutthroat even attempt to resolve causing nebula to lose her confused status card

Answer

Yes. You can play a Thwart event / activate a Thwart ability to discard Confused, even if there is no threat in the play area. (This is different than some of our previous rulings, but this is how we want things to work going forward!)
For additional clarification, if there were no threat in the play area, and you weren’t Confused, then you couldn’t play a Thwart event.
