Sideboard


Racing to 50 life in order to get a one-hit KO.

The object of this deck is to use Ad Nauseam to dig up enough ammo to ramp your life total to upwards of triple digits with Aetherflux Reservoir, then land a couple of 50 damage pings. Reckless Fireweaver is on hand for incidental damage, and, along with Tendrils of Agony and Grapeshot, to get around Pithing Needle. You also have some bodies to act as fuel or incidental beaters while waiting for AdNaus, in Memnite, Ornithopter, and Simian Spirit Guide. Zero costed rocks round out the deck to make Ad less painful and to keep up Storm count once you go to play your finishers.

This deck is perfectly capable of landing upwards of 100 damage on turn 1 if all goes according to plan, while at the same time, it can grind to a near halt if your bombs get neutralized or left on the bottom. This deck has no ways to deal with control, removal, or Endure (and if someone pulls off a Channel Harm, you better hope that you didn't over-commit), so it behooves you to try to get the first turn or play conservative when the combo does manage to go off.

Lastly, before anyone says it, I know that this deck is expensive, runs Cadillac cards in quantity, and seems like a prime example of a pay-to-win deck, despite its swingy-ness. The purpose of making this deck was not to make a practical deck, but to make an Aetherflux Reservoir deck that actually works.
