Hmmmm
The sleeper below is amazing in its references to the original material (the actual Call of Cthulhu story) - lots of characters from the expansion are straight from Lovecraft's iconic story! From Professor Angell, who does end up paying a price for his quest in search of the conspiracy (or secret cult) to Ardois-Bonnot who ends up displaying a horrific (and unspeakable) painting, even William Webb is there making connections!!!
... which leads me to ask....
Why is this guy a Cultist
In the story, he's specifically referred to as NOT being a cultist! In any way, shape or form!! He'd have been much better off as an Artist!! That Subtype needs some love! Could have easily granted his icons to both 
Yeah, don't get me started! Gustaf is another case of complete defiance and disrespect to the source material. I agree, Artist is a no-brainer. The main focus of the box is Cultist synergy, we get that but you could easily have had Ian Hardaway and Functional Psychopath as Cultists instead. Yes, otherwise I feel they took the set's themes to a higher level. Once again, the thought process of the all mighty designers eludes me! It's like PROMETHEUS all over again, DAMN YOU RIDLEY SCOTT!!!
Glad to see I am not alone in this hehe
DON'T HATE ON PROMETHEUS!!!
No hate. Just a reference connecting the game designers to the unknowable 'Engineers' of the movie and a jab at RS for the tease that his flick PROMETHEUS is. Loved the movie (twice in theatre and own it) but to a large extent it was a set up for a sequel.
No hate on Prometheus, but it's a terrible movie.
Also, I feel you guys on the wtfs about the 'cultist' subtype.
Is thsi card good in a cultist deck?
Too expensive unless you're sold on the Twisted Acropolis to cheat dudes into play.
Quick query requiring a quick response.
Does Wilcox's ability trigger off himself coming into play?
It should. It's a response so it happens after he finishes entering play.
