Extended infinite squirrels?

[Istanbul]

Just an interesting little idea I had.

Intruder Alarm + Squirrel Nest + Verdant Touch

Turn 1, Forest, Birds.
Turn 2, Island, Intruder Alarm, Verdant Touch on your Forest.
Turn 3: Forest, tap everything but the Touched Forest to play a Squirrel Nest on it.

Tap the Nested Forest to put a squirrel token into play.
This untaps your creatures, including the Nested Forest.
Tap the Nested Forest to put another squirrel token into play.

Repeat until your opponent is sick to his stomach.

Yes, I love infinite squirrels, myself. My favorite combo, which unfortunately is not legal, is Earthcraft/Squirrel Nest/Goblin Bombardment.

That is so one year ago, Istanbul...
Yes it is interesting.

How do you get to cast Intruder Alarm and Verdant Touch on turn 2? Although you can cast both the Nest and the Touch on 3, you can't use them that turn.

Beyond that, the combo works quite well. Its nice that you pack blue so you can run counter back up and search easily, and its your typical 3 card combo which is well within reason.

Intruder Alarm costs 1U, right?

If not, my bad, it takes a little longer.

Intruder alarm is 2U, but you can do it all 3rd turn...

I use the man-lands in my combo - it takes 1 turn extra - but yours seems faster.
