Ad Nauseam is a combo deck in Modern that aims to win the game by casting its namesake card, Ad Nauseam, and drawing the entire deck to find and play a combo finisher. The main win condition of the deck is to combo off by casting Ad Nauseam with enough mana to also cast Angel's Grace, preventing you from losing the game this turn. Then you draw your whole library and play Thassa's Oracle to win the game on the spot. The deck's strategy revolves around mana acceleration with cards like Lotus Bloom and Pentad Prism, filtering through the deck with cantrips like Sleight of Hand and Preordain, and disrupting the opponent with counterspells like Pact of Negation and Spell Pierce. Leyline of Sanctity and Phyrexian Unlife help protect you from various forms of disruption and potential damage. One of the strengths of Ad Nauseam is its ability to win the game out of nowhere once it assembles its combo pieces. The deck can also be resilient against some forms of disruption due to its ability to win at instant speed. However, the deck can be vulnerable to disruption that prevents you from drawing cards, countering key spells, or causing you to lose life in response to Ad Nauseam. Additionally, the deck is weak to aggressive strategies that can present a fast clock before it can assemble its combo. Overall, Ad Nauseam is a powerful and unique combo deck in Modern with the potential to win games in spectacular fashion.
