[DECK] Ad Nauseam

[arcboundravager2]

since the banning of seething song, many have said that there hasn't really been a "combo" deck in the format. well guess what, they're wrong. there have been a deck floating on the fringes and a few lists floating around about this deck, but no real consensus. i have been testing this deck and it is a blast to play and its consistent. here you go:

4 [ALA] Ad Nauseam
4 [FD] Pentad Prism
4 [TSP] Lotus Bloom

SB: 2 [DDF] Echoing Truth
SB: 2 [ROE] Inquisition of Kozilek
SB: 4 [M11] Leyline of Sanctity

the ability to go off at instant speed is a huge deal right now. i have gone off through cliques and counterspells many times. you can actually turn 3/4 with surprising consistency. it looks like quite the pile, i know, but try it out. i assure you that its a lot of fun.

It surely looks interesting, I'm thinking to sleeve that and give to try at my local weekly tourney, and while the maindeck seems quite forward so I will love if you could elaborate on boarding plans and some and match-up specific tidbits.

Exactly, not to mention Pod.

The deck looks like fun, but if I am not missing something, it just folds to lifegain, as you cannot deal more than 25 damage (which is the pretty unlikely best case scenario). Sure, Martyr.decs aren't hugely successful, but they show up in quite some numbers at FNMs and smaller tournaments. An alternative win-condition (if there is one) or a dedicated SB card (Leyline of Punishment) for specific metas should do the trick.

sorry, lifegain isnt really played in my meta. if youre worried, you can play conflagrate as the wincon. its not instant speed, but it gets the job done

Conflagrate has the huge bonus of winning through Spellskite. I don't think making this deck an instant-win is any better than the more consistent sorcery win.

I had this deck for a while on MTGO but that was back before the bannings and meta-shift. Probably in a better position now.
