Hi everyone,

I have a question about the Crisis Icon mechanic.

The Crisis Icon reads:

While at least one crisis icon is in play, threat cannot be removed from the main scheme by any player.

Let’s say “01108” (which has a Crisis Icon) is in play, and we play “30019” and attach it to “01108”. If we then use our hero’s basic THW to remove the last threat on “01108,” we reach a point where we can trigger “30019”’s effect.

“30019” reads:

Discard this card -> remove an equal amount of threat from a different scheme.

However, the threat on the main scheme cannot be removed by “30019”’s effect because, when we trigger “30019,” “01108” is still in play, and the Crisis Icon on it is still active, blocking threat removal from the main scheme.

We are unsure if this processing is correct, as we can’t find any rules or FAQs that address this situation. If anyone has insights or can point us to relevant rules or FAQs, we would greatly appreciate it!
