in the current metagame if you want to seriously play ad nauseam you need some number of spellskites in the mainboard. I play ad nauseam competitively and my team have got it down to a science. we've brought infect up to a 50/50 match up, improved the burn match (still poor though), consistently beats affinity, basically every other combo deck out there, is 55/45 against abzan and 45/55 against jund. the deck is good just have to know what to run and how to side board. I went 5-3 drop at GP Pit with my build. I played against burn four times, jund twice, and fish twice. I lost to burn twice and jund once. It was miserable when I wanted to play against any combo decks or tron decks and I had to throw down against burn 4 times but that is the way of magic.

Hey awesomeragle Glad you decided to take a look at my deck. Hope you liked it despite the obvious differences.

I haven't bothered changing it every time I make slight modifications to it, but if you ask me, personally, I think this is the best primer for how to build and play the deck. I don't play in big tournements or anything like that so I wouldn't know what the meta game looks like on a large scale, however, I know how the meta game looks where I play and that's what i base my decisions on. My worst matchups are burn and Usually infect. There is, however, in my metagame someone who plays Soul sisters and that is terrible for Ad nauseam if it gets going and it often does.

Let me just emphasise that it's not specific to the metagame, it's mostly a primer of how to play and what to remember. I don't play competitive enough to keep updating it all the time.

If you are having issues with soul sisters then try a Conflagrate in the side board to increase your damage output to about 40-45. Or you can go the rout I decided I prefer and try Laboratory Maniac
