I don't think there are nearly enough cards to benefit from Amulet of Vigor , it's too situational in this deck, but I am feeling Boseiju, Who Shelters All and Rain of Filth . Ideally, you want to play Tendrils of Agony the same turn you play Ad Nauseam and those help.

The main problem is just that the minute anyone plays Maralen of the Mornsong the rest of the board grabs a Counterspell etc as quickly as possible.
Also. Unless your playing French rules, EDH is a multiplayer format, so I don't see how you're going to be able to kill everyone with a Tendrils of Agony .
It's a cool concept and I really like the ideabut I don't see it coherently working against 3 other players who realise that Maralen is bad news if you allow her to combo off.

I agree with ChiefBell about Maralen being an unwise decision if there is an Island on the board. Not to mention every color has spot removal staples for cmc 3 of less. The best answer is probably loading up on Tutors.
I need tutors that cost 2 or less that can find an ad nauseum. I own a Demonic Tutor , Vampiric Tutor , and Cruel Tutor . I also own a plethora of unplayable tutors such as Diabolic Tutor , Increasing Ambition and Demonic Collusion . I called them unplayable due to not wanting to flip into something with cmc 4 or more with ad nauseum.
So Maralen of the Mornsong isn't the best general, and that's actually a good thing. I recently joined an EDH league where you have to commit to a General but not a decklist. My answer is going to be Child of Alara . With the Exploding Baby I can play Malfegor666, Shadowborn Scion (with an expanded Demon list!), and this deck with other gems such as Mystical Tutor and Gitaxian Probe . Maybe even slide in a Silence and Orim's Chant for extra protection.
Yawgmoth's Will will get a spot even though it costs 3.
I need to find a Scroll Rack .

Although, the secret beauty behind Maralen of the Mornsong was that Sacrifice became a second Dark Ritual . I don't even get to take advantage of Burnt Offering now being legal.
Seismic Assault is another possibilty, although I would need red rituals. Simian Spirit Guide ?
The non-black possibilities are endless!

Just so you know ad nauseum is a deck and you linked it in your description. Ad Nauseam is the card. Looks like a fun deck.

Boseiju, Who Shelters All seems waaaay to good to pass up on here :)

Library of Leng + Whispering Madness might be a fun win con after an Ad Nauseam.

Mana Vault? It may be out of your price range though. Also as I already mentioned (sorry for being impatient) Spellbook is a great addition. You can cast nauseum, drop the Spellbook, then combo out when you're confident enough.

Yes- I responded to your comment with reasons not to run the cards you suggested. dqcoulter

maybe Boseiju, Who Shelters All and Amulet of Vigor as one more counterspell protection?
