This deck has one goal: Resolve Ad Nauseam.

Playing the Deck:

1. Ramp: We want to ramp in order to get our commander out as early as possible so we can attack and boast. You'll want to save your 0-cost spells for later. Play an extra land once Ad Nauseam resolves with Walking Atlas and Lightning Greaves.

2. Cast Ad Nauseam: Draw your entire deck (May want to leave a few cards in case of opponents draw effects).

3. Win: Our ways to win consist of Sickening Dreams, Tendrils of Agony, Exsanguinate, or Aetherflux Reservoir.

3a. Sickening Dreams: Save your land drop for the turn for a Glacial Chasm to not die, otherwise you'll want a Dark Sphere for this to work at all.

3b. Tendrils of Agony: There is a decent storm package in this deck. Drop all of the 0-cost spells, use rituals, cast Tendrils of Agony, then Yawgmoth's Will in order to do it all over again.

3c. Exsanguinate: Use your rituals to put out Skirge Familiar. This will let you cast a giant Exsanguinate. You can also use Skirge Familiar to power out more spells.

3d. Aetherflux Reservoir: This will assist in your storm package and help your life total so that you can shoot opponents down.

Combo Protection:

1. Boseiju, Who Shelters All/Duress/Imp's Mischief: Our answers to possible counterspells.
2. Strip Mine: Removes possible problem lands.
3. Feldon's Cane: Just in case we need to do our song and dance again.

Life Total Management

This deck pays A LOT of life for its effects. The total possible life loss from every card in this deck from drawing off of Ad Nauseam is 38. Keep in mind that things like Mana Crypt, Imp's Mischief, and Boseiju potentially cost life.

Please let me know any cuts or better cards. All suggestions are appreciated.
