[LSJ] Blood Cult Awareness Network and Call The Great Beast

When a Blood Cult Awareness Network is in play does Call The Great Beast qualify for this effect? If yes, does the effect apply to the action of putting the CTGB card in play or to add a counter to the card? In my opinion neither of the actions qualify because the effect that is bringing the Great Beast in play is to burn the counters/vampire but I am not sure about it. -- johannes walch

[ quoted text not captured ] My guess would be that whichever action puts the 11th (or more) counter on the card would count as the an action to bring a vampire into play, but what do I know? On a similar note, is Web of Knives Recruit an action to put a vampire into play? Probably not - it only puts a non-vampire card into your uncontrolled region (which may later become a vampire).

WoKR does not trigger the BCA penalty. > Johannes Walch wrote: > > When a Blood Cult Awareness Network is in play does Call The Great Beast qualify for this effect? I would think not, based on the treatment of WoKR. The original action puts a card into play, not a vampire or ghoul, and CtGB is never in the uncontrolled region. The final action that burns the baali is to place a ritual counter, not put a vampire in play.
