Cultist Membership & Sudden Head Blow

Tagid · 09-09-2011, 12:05 PM

What are some of the ways to force someone to become a Cultist when they have a CMC? The way the card is worded makes it seem that whenever Bad stuff, a curse, or even Sudden Head blow happens the CMC user could just say I'm a cultist already and then immediately stop being one again. Circumventing any of that stuff.

This doesn't seem like the intentions to me. Is it?

No, I don't think that was ever the intent, and it doesn't prevent someone from avoiding Bad Stuff, Curses or other things that make you join the cult.

Wait, it doesn't prevent them from AVOIDING it? Does that mean it DOES allow them to avoid all that stuff?

Is this the promo card? I thought based on prior discussions that card would allow you to avoid Bad Stuff, Curses, and such.

There's a detailed discussion here, if so: http://forums.sjgames.com/showthread.php?t=76028

I remember that thread. That's why I find this thread somewhat confusing, since it sounds like MM is agreeing with the original poster, and disagreeing, at the same time, and with odd phrasing. And I want to be clear, since I'm SURE something like this WILL eventually come up if I play Cthuhlu again, since this card WAS in the inventory of some of the players LAST time.

I couldn't find this post earlier and didn't have time to look further (one of the hazards of all-day product design launch meetings). I also couldn't track down the CMC card from Cthulhu, and it turns out it's because I was searching through the database incorrectly (again, didn't have the time to double down once I ran into a wall). So, ignore my statement from before, which was worded properly enough to confirm (incorrectly) the OP's assertion, though the word "therefore" would probably have improved comprehension significantly.

I think the OP's question is still valid, though - how CAN you make a player holding the CMC into a Cultist, thus forcing them to drop the card?
