Arcane denial + notion thief
Asked by alexininikovsky 11 years ago
Is there a time after casting Arcane Denial in which you can cast Notion Thief to steal the draw 2 effect? If not, is there another 2 mana counterspell that forces the opponent to draw?

There isn't a counter spell that forces another player to draw cards, though the ability to have Arcane Denial be a 2 cmc generic counter with a cantrip is a pretty big bang for your buck.

There's no time in which you can cast Notion Thief where you can steal those card draws, because the card draws are optional. Once the delayed trigger resolves, and they choose to draw or not, it is too late to interrupt those draws. If Notion Thief is already out, they can just opt not to take the draws.
