Title: House in Bethany + choose the blocker
Post by: slugfencer on January 08, 2009, 10:23:35 PM: I have house in Bethany in play.....I rescue with my Luke hero, and I choose the blocker to have my opponent block with one of my demons, does that count for the Houses' effect to trigger?

House in Bethany

If opponent's demon blocks your Luke or John Hero, reveal the top seven cards of opponent's deck. You may discard one revealed evil card or put a revealed Lost Soul in play. • Attributes: Holds up to three Heroes with a Luke or John reference • Identifiers: Holds up to three Heroes with a Luke or John reference •

A similar situation came up with choose the bocker using Self and them playing Job Overcomes to force your opponent to discard 7. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on which side of the table you're on) that doesn't work either.

Unless you use the combo to make it work... ;) My opponent was surely dismayed when I pulled it off...
