Title: Ad Nauseam- is this a thing?
Post by: Jdogtoocool on December 12, 2013, 11:20:02 AM
 {Ad Nauseam}

Are there any good combos with this? Is it effective? I see storm count possibly, maybe even self mill. What do you guys think?

Ohh yes. Even in EDH mono black ANT ({Ad Nauseum} {Tendrils of Agony}) is a very consistent combo deck. It can even win on turn one. Basically a 1 card combo with AN since the entire CMC of the deck is lower than your life total.

Yeah ANT is one of the major combo decks in Legcacy, {Ad Nauseam} is basically used as a draw engine to fill your hand with cards to cast before casting {Tendrils of Agony} for the kill.

Anything that doesn't change your life total. Free cards

This. Low curve and 0 CMC spells such as {Lion's Eye Diamond} and {Lotus Petal} make it great in a storm deck, though you do need to start at a relatively high life total to reliably get everything you need to win.

How does it use  {Lion's Eye Diamond}? Don't see how it contributes to the deck besides being a free draw.

It's for {past in flames} and the rituals, it helps build the storm count you need

Because you cast {Infernal Tutor} or {Burning Wish} after {Ad Nauseam}, crack your LED's in response and use the mana to tendrils/empty/kill them.

{Platinum Angel} and  {Platinum Emperion} would let you draw your deck and {Labratory Maniac} would get you the win.

Lab Maniac wouldn't win on the spot though, since the cards aren't being drawn.

Commander with
{Maralen of the Mornsong}
{Ad Nauseam}
{Dark Sphere}
{Sickening Dreams}
{Elixir of Immortality}
And 95 swamps

Seems boring though

{soul conduit} draw like crazy, get 0 life, tap. Gg
You mean tap it, then in response to the ability on the stack, AN? Does that work, or do you die before the stack resolves?

If you get 0 life, you die at the next state check (before any more things can resolve or be activated)

For EDH:
{{Skirge Familiar}} then tendrils into {{Exanguinate}}
...if you hate people. JK, but that combo is just sick.
