discard is not the same as casting/playing. if you discard, you do not get to draw cards.

Hand size would Recycle win vs Reliquary Tower?[/QUOTE]

I'm not quite sure what you meant by that, but Reliquary Tower would not prevent you from discarding down to two, if that is what you meant.

It uses timestamp, If Reliquary Tower tower was put on the battlefield with Recycle already on the field you have no maximum handsize and don't have to discard down to two. I use this trick with Null Profusion which is basically the black version of Recycle. If you play those bounce lands like Golgari Rot Farm you can use them to take back Reliquary Tower so you can replay it to get around timestamp if Recycle was played after Reliquary Tower.


PS: for those who think I'm wrong, the orcale text of Recycle has been changed to:

Skip your draw step.
Whenever you play a card, draw a card.
Your maximum hand size is two.

So it does interact with Reliquary Tower.

I guess that makes me wrong, sorry. :( Although it is kind of cool that it works that way now, you get the benefits of recycle, but negate its downside. :)

Well, until Seth posted the Oracle errata for Recycle, I was going to recommend Library of Leng..

I think I'll have to get a hold of Recycle and Null Profusion for my Glissa EDH deck now :3 *sigh* more cards to add to my wish list ;)

They changed Library of Leng to "You have no maximum hand size", so without the change on recycle, that wouldn't have helped either.

It's the second part of the card, "Whenever you would discard a card..." The Library would allow you to place discarded cards on top of your library, and even with the errata Library can still be beneficial -- the order in which you play Library and Recycle don't matter very much.
