I don't have a problem with CBIg allowing an otherwise ignored EC to block, regardless of when the CBIg was activated.  I don't think allowing a retroactive CBIg to effectively negate an ignore is the right way to handle it when the EC is already in battle.

^This. Golgotha would still be perfectly usable to allow your X-brigade EC to block a TGT hero that is trying to ignore, without it being even more OP as to indirectly negate cards like Spices.

RDT is right, even if you are ignoring someone and they become CBIg, they cannot be ignored in any way, any how, any why unless you get rid of Golgotha.

The argument that an ignored character that gains the CBI ability can still be ignored makes no logical sense (which, I concede, is not always a priority in Redemption). It reminds me a little of the whole brouhaha over trying to indirectly negate CBN abilities, which led to the famous commandment "CBN means CBN." If a character "cannot be ignored," to turn around and say "yes, it can be ignored" creates a contradiction. It also leads to the commandments "CBI does not mean CBI."

This also creates questions for other cards. What if I play Hating the Light in battle, perhaps after drawing it with a SA? Can my EC still be ignored? Or apply to any other CBI enhancements (of which there are few now, but I could see more being made)? The whole argument seems IMO to be an attempt to prop up pre-block ignore by refusing to allow CBI cards to do what they were designed to do, one facet of which is to slow down pre-block ignore.

Hating the Light (Di)

Type: Evil Enh. • Brigade: Multicolor • Ability: None • Class: Territory • Special Ability: Place on your human Evil Character: This Evil Character cannot be ignored and is protected from capture, conversion, and shuffle. • Play As: Place on your human Evil Character: This Evil Character cannot be ignored. Protect this Evil Character from capture, conversion, and shuffle. • Identifiers: None • Verse: John 3:20 • Availability: Disciples booster packs ()

I actually like the idea of Golgotha failing against ignores in battle. It allows you to block TGT or pre block ignore, which was the biggest complaint people were having ("You won't let me play cards!"). However, it doesn't totally kill the ignore strategy (RA with Jake + RTC, opponent uses Golgotha, blocks with a NT EC, I add D Raid to battle. You still get to play cards, I still get to ignore you. Win-win).

No,

However, the new cards are using the ":" to mean "While this card remains" So if no EE is there, even if the ability was activated no one is CBIg

I don't have specific examples - I'm just basing that off of discussions we had during playtesting.

i believe there was a discussion about this with herods treachery awhile back.

Why would we assume that? Cost/place card: Effect/cant be ignored. It doesnt say-

Golgotha (Di)
Type: Site • Brigade: White • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Anytime during battle, you may place a skull icon card from hand or discard pile on Golgotha: While this card remains, N.T. characters of that brigade cannot be ignored. Return that card to its previous location at end of turn. • Identifiers: Jew • Verse: Matthew 27:33 • Availability: Disciples booster packs ()

So after reading the Herod's Treachery post again...

Herod’s Treachery (TP)
Type: Evil Enh. • Brigade: Multicolor • Ability: None • Class: Territory • Special Ability: Place on a Herod. That Herod may use evil Enhancements regardless of brigade. You may discard this card to force X Heroes to withdraw from battle.

Man, I still dont agree with that ruling. but i didnt see relevence with the colon in that thread except the withdraw is dependent on the place ability. (still dont agree)

so, the cant be ignore is dependent upon the place ability? yes  
That includes while the place card remains? not so sure

Since this one doesn't specify (or if the colon is the specification), we assume the duration to be while the card remains.

Since it doesnt say the duration, should we assume its until the end of the phase?

Why would we assume that? Cost/place card: Effect/cant be ignored. It doesnt say-

Golgotha (Di)
Type: Site • Brigade: White • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Anytime during battle, you may place a skull icon card from hand or discard pile on Golgotha: While this card remains, N.T. characters of that brigade cannot be ignored.

mind linking us the thread? im fairly certain bryon or sir no commented that the card only worked while it remained, like all place cards do.

Sorry to bring this thread up after 3 days!  So does cannot be ignored only stop pre-ignore and you can still be ignored in battle, or does it mean your character cannot be ignored no matter when you are trying to ignore it?

Well since Gabe is only 1 elder that is not a definitive ruling.  Can we get some elder input, even if the issues is still being debated?
