      "body": "I think it could if they really wanted to but I'm not sure it would really be any good.  Basically make some specialized scheme cards that instead of being removed from play when reaching 0 threat you gain control of it and more thwart adds more control to it for you so your opponent needs to thwart more to try and get control back (this could also work as a gimmick in a normal scenario).  Controlling a scheme would give you some bonus and maybe getting a certain amount of control would be a victory condition.  Maybe some side schemes that work the same way with lesser bonuses and with this pretty much all cards that exist now could have effects in a PvP mode.\n\nI've seen many people want Civil War themed scenarios but I've always thought if they did a Civil War theme anything it should be something that introduces PvP rules instead of scenarios with heroes as the villains.  Not that I'd actually want that but it's the best way to thematically do civil war for this game.  No civil war > PvP mode > regular scenarios against heroes.",
