How does Cultist of the Absolute & Assault Suit work together?
Asked by Sheepking2000 1 year ago
Do I force my opponent to sac a creature on their upkeep by giving my commander to them or no?
It does not work if you're using Assault Suit to give them your commander, because Assault Suit triggers on their upkeep, so it's too late for your commander's upkeep trigger to also trigger. It does work if you use something like Donate or Harmless Offering to give them your commander though.

Oops. I didn't think about that carefully enough. Neotrup has the most correct answer here.

Yes that works. Since Cultist of the Absolute affects commanders you own, it will still affect your commander if someone else gains control of it. That player will also control the "At the beginning of your upkeep..." triggered ability when it triggers. Because of Assault Suit they have to choose something else to sacrifice when the trigger resolves.
