Idol Count during Resolution

(1/3) > >>

mith:
If the count of Idols in play changes due to the Boon, can it then pass out a Curse?

I assume the answer is no, the count has already been determined ("if you then have" seems to point to the count being determined as soon as the Idol is played), but I've been wrong before.

The only example I can think of to make this happen:

Play Bridge
Play Idol
Odd number of Idols in play, Boon: The Earth's Gift - discard Copper, gain Mandarin, Idol on top of deck
Even number of Idols in play (0), Curse?

Kirian:
I don't think that's enough to trigger weirdness, but Highway-*Crown*-Idol to get Mandarin would.  In your scenario, Idol is only played once, so you can only get one or the other.

pacovf:
That would be cute, but Idol’s text is a single sentence, so I think the two conditions are checked at the same time.

Jeebus:
A similar situation would be playing Poacher with 1 pile empty, discarding a Tunnel which gains the last Gold, and then having to discard another card. I'm certain that's not the case either.

GendoIkari:
If playing Dominion Fluxx, then yes, card counts are constantly updated retroactively in real time.
