It depends. Does this contest allow Toaster Strudel?

Per the rulebook:
“The Rulebook” wrote:Download: This word allows you to look through your deck for
the specified card, reveal that card to all players so they can verify that the correct card was downloaded, place it in your hand, and shuffle the remaining cards in your deck. There is no penalty if you don’t find (or choose not to take) a card you are allowed to download.

Yeah, I'm with Ty on this one - I would've thought Isolytic Detonation's text was a compulsory download, and the bit you bolded would apply to only to cards that say "may download" (e.g. K'mtar).
