Hallo there,

I am going to play the tournament next week with the Ad Nauseam deck.

Below you can find the decklist, that I want to play.

What I need to ask you for help is, what to SB for what in the following matchups and how to tune the SB.

Here is the decklist:

3 [ON] Flooded Strand
1 [ALA] Island (1)
4 [ON] Polluted Delta
1 [ALA] Swamp (1)
3 [R] Underground Sea
1 [U] Tundra
1 [U] Scrubland

3 [ALA] Ad Nauseam
4 [CST] Brainstorm
4 [TO] Cabal Ritual
4 [MR] Chrome Mox
4 [CST] Dark Ritual
4 [7E] Duress
1 [US] Ill-Gotten Gains
4 [DIS] Infernal Tutor
4 [MI] Lion's Eye Diamond
4 [TE] Lotus Petal
4 [6E] Mystical Tutor
1 [SC] Tendrils of Agony
1 [DS] Echoing Truth
4 [PS] Orim's Chant

The tournament should be about 40 players.

Here is metagame that I expect:

20% should be some Combo decks (1 - 2 Ichorids)
20% should be Aggro Control decks (Dreadstill, ThreshThreshThreshThreshThreshThreshThreshThresh, Slivers, Loam Deck)
20% should be some Control decks with or without Counterbalance (Mono U control, Landstill)
10% should be Aggro Decks (Goblins and so on)
30% should be random decks (Red Burn and so on)

My current SB is this:

1 [SC] Tendrils of Agony - Against Burn decks and against Aggro Control decks.
Side out: 1x Duress

4 [RAV] Dark Confidant - Against Control decks - for card advantage.
Side out: 4x Mystical Tutor

4 [UL] Defense Grid - Againtst Control decks
Side out: 2x Dark Ritual + 2x Cabal Ritual

2 [SOK] Pithing Needle - Random thread - Vial, Wasteland, Top....
Side out: ???

3 [TSB] Tormod's Crypt - Against Ichorid, Cephalid Breakfast...
Side out: 3x Duress

1 [NE] Massacre - Against Aggro with White
Side out: 1x Duress

Now I want to put in the SB the following cards, but donīt know what to take out...:

+/- 3x Engineered Explosives - They are for 0 with Ad Nauseam. Can deal with Counterbalance, which is really big problem. Can be played for 0 or 1 or 2 or 3. They are good against Aggro decks.

Change for 3x Dark Confidant ???

+/- 2x Disenchant - Can deal with Counterbalance, Chalice of the Void.

Change for 1x Dark Confidant + 1x Defense Grid

+/- 2x Bounce Spell - Rushing River, Chain of Vapour - against random threads.

Change for ???

What do you think about this reworked SB? Do you have any other ideas?

I also found on net the version with Senseis Divining Top.

Why is it good there? It slowes down the deck...

Try you building your own deck versione.

Anyway, take out the Tormod's Crypt and Massacre for the Engineered Explosives and maybe Wipe Away.

Hello, and welcome to The Source!

Please review the Site Rules, and post your question(s) in the thread for Ad Nauseam Tendrils. (http://www.mtgthesource.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11184) Thank you.

In unrelated news, mid-90's goth darkwave apparently cures pharyngitis, and Her British Weird-Hatted Majesty's postal service sucks more than the Kingdom of Savoy 2.0's, which is quite a fucking feat.
