Question

93 – I’m wondering about the term “for each”. Some cards worded like “Homeland Intervention” are pretty clear: they can remove threats only from 1 scheme. (wording is explicitly “that scheme”) But is a card worded like “Falcon: Sam Wilson” could remove threat from multiple schemes? (wording is “a scheme”) The answer could have implications on the following cards:
– Spider-Man: Pavitr Prabhakar
– Wiccan
– Beat Cop
– Ham It Up
– Hex Bolt
– Legal Practice
– Energy Channel

Answer

For all of the cards you mentioned except Hex Bolt, their abilities apply to only one target. Falcon: Sam Wilson removes X threat from just one scheme, Energy Channel deals X damage to just one enemy, and so on. The reason Hex Bolt is different is because it’s structured differently, where each result of the discard is resolved separately. Say all 3 discarded cards each have 1 boost icon—you resolve the threat removal one card at a time, and therefore can choose a different scheme to remove threat from each time.
