Lust Monster + Gender Blender

okudaxij · 01-20-2014, 11:49 PM

So I got cursed with Gender Blender (Mod: Removed card text.) and THEN I had to fight the Lust Monster.

When fighting the Lust Monster, "Mod: Ditto."

The arguments were:

1. There is no opposite gender in existence (to having no sex), and if there is no such character, too bad; therefore I must flee.

2. The opposite gender of "no sex" is "to have a sex," therefore I must get either a male or a female to aid me in combat.

3. Since my sex is "none," the qualifications of fighting the Lust Monster are void and I can fight it on my own.

FYI: It's a forum rule that you may not directly quote card text. Paraphrasing is fine.

In this case, since a Curse is not supposed to be beneficial, the ruling I would make is that you have no opposite sex and must Run Away from the Lust Monster unless you have some other way of driving it out of the fight. This is not final, however, and discussion is welcome.

I would agree. If it's impossible to change to be the opposite sex (according to Curse! Gender Blender's info about sex changes), then it follows that you can't possibly get the help of the opposite sex either.
