I don't see any correlation between Telchor the place and Telchar the dwarf, just as Memnarch from Mirrodin is in no way related to Memnoch the Devil (Anne Rice novel).
I do however, find your anti-infect tech to be plausible.
It is kind of strange. If it were worded "Draw a card for each mountain and then draw a card for each red card" then you would draw seven.
Consider this: If the effect was "Draw a card for each artifact and creature card in that player's hand" would you draw two cards for each artifact creature?
Seems like you would draw five to me, but a detailed judge's explanation would be greatly appreciated.
If I cast Journey to Nowhere and you let it resolve, its 'enter the battlefield' ability triggers, and I must choose a target. If I target your creature and you sacrifice it in response, the ability will be countered since the target has become illegal.
If I cast it and you sacrifice your only creature before Journey enters the battlefield, I will still have to choose a target creature to be exiled, so I may be forced to target one of my own creatures. It would not be optional.
So sick of Jace, the Mind Sculptor and how overrated he is. For the first time in my MtG playing life I can't wait for a card to rotate out of Standard.
There is sort of an interaction with Shelldock Isle and Selective Memory, but it seems difficult to pull off since you can only exile your nonland cards so you technically could be left with a little more than 20 cards in your library. Still, could be worth thinking about.
While looking through his deck, I suddenly notice that he now has that same card that he had raved over the previous night in his deck. Now, previous to this, I had seen his whole collection and every time he gets a new card, he tells me all about it. He didn't even mention this card. I said nothing.
Why would you say nothing? Why not just ask him where he got the card?
If you ask me it seems like he would be pretty dumb to steal a card from you and then come back the next day and show you the deck with the card in it.
Either A) you are just paranoid or B) your friend is a really dumb thief
Well isn't discussing a "budget deck", by definition, not building the BEST competitive deck? If you wanna say a deck is competetive in some way, then why call it a BUDGET deck?
Because the cards are all cheap and it is still competetive. Seems simple enough to me.
Why is this still being argued? Isn't it clear now that Infect is very subpar and easily disrupted by big decks in the meta?
Not at all. In fact the very purpose of this thread was that Infect was seen as a deck that is giving some people a hard time.
And the optimal build is still being discussed. Nobody is expecting it to climb to the top of the heap, but it is still defnitely a playable budget deck.
Funny thing is I have played against 5 Infect decks that sided them in, and it has not done squat against me. Only time it does anything if it is an infect deck that runs U and they run distortion strikes.
Actually, the truly funny thing is why would any Infect deck run Naturalize over Nature's Claim?

I think it would be even too good in Scars block until 80% of people start playing Infect decks.

I hope your suspension is worth it. Spam Infraction.
