StarCityGames.com Open-Orlando Deck Tech: ANT (Ad Nauseam Tendrils)

[dawnedeclipse]

this deck blows, dont pay attention it. back when mystical tutors are available and hes using two ad nauseams AND two tendrils, i dont think he'll ever win in actualy legacy trounys

[hollywoodmkx]

That is by far the ugliest ANT deck I've ever seen.

[Hordesthugz13]

EXPENSIVE! I see at least $700 there

[Salivorin]

Since Mystical Tutor was banned, you need more than 1 Ad Nauseum to be consistent enough.

[vielbosheit]

@Salivorin Not true at all.

[hachnslay]

angels grace - draw your deck - win

[ndread85]

I'm saying that the deck should only run one ADN. Most of the self-pwns I had playing storm was because of more than 1 ADN.

[Y2J3469]

Duress and/ or Thoughtseize is a good answer to FOW. Usually this deck generates enough mana to easily get around daze. Orim's Chant is good for this as well as is Post Sideboard Xantid Swarm and/ or Pyroblast are all good answers to FOW.

ndread85: I agree, two (2) Ad Nauseam Maindeck, WTF? Bad Tech!

[ndread85]

why the hell are there 2 ad nauseums...

[demonprince9]

@ndread85 So when you use one, you (most likely) arn't flipping another and losing 5.

[Sforschondetta]

@ndread85 because when you play one. you dont want to lose 15 life from drawing the other 3

[JimButter10]

lol to win in turn one u need

1 ad nauseam

2 dark rituals

and mana source

not all the thinks he sayd :)

[canman87]

@JimButter10 And then either Force of Will or Daze wrecks your face.

[JimButter10]

@canman87 theres no Fow or daze thats why you play dures and pact of negation .)

[canman87]

@JimButter10 That's entirely matchup dependent. Force of Will and Daze are both in the format (of course) and are both played quite heavily, so your chances of dodging them completely are questionable.

[JimButter10]

@canman87 yes but minimaly fow is suicide in this deck

[canman87]

@JimButter10 Oh, you thought I meant play those in this deck? Haha, hell no. I just meant that if you tried to go off on turn one with the card sequence you described, one of those counterspells would ruin the whole plan and you'd be back to square one, except with only 3 cards in hand.

[JimButter10]

aaaah, i see

thats true :D

sry, didint get it in this way :D

yes its kind of risk

[sqwap111]

He should have Necropotences, that way he can start the turn with all his mana all over again. He should also have Yawgy's Win, so he can use all the lotus petals, chrome moxs and the rituals all over again. WTF are the lion's eye diamonds for?

[Slayer89]

@sqwap111

Both of those are banned in Legacy. Lion's Eye Diamond is to generate a lot of free mana as well as add another spell to the storm count. You play it the turn you go off and activate in response to an Ad Nauseam since you'll be drawing all you need at that point anyway, or in response to an Infernal Tutor to grab whatever you want.

[sqwap111]

@Slayer89 Screw Legacy, I play by vintage

[Slayer89]

@sqwap111 That's all well and good, but this is Legacy deck.

[ZaganOstia]

@sqwap111

What a well thought out reply, if only everyone had the ability to put together such a well thought out argument as you

[Slayer89]

Awesome. I'm currently playing a little more budget friendly version of this for Legacy. Super fun deck.

[BryceMenard]

Learn how to pronounce Nauseum, Gindy. Sorry, but it bothers me.

[1337luo]

@Bryce Menard:

It's nauseAm, not nauseUm.

[BryceMenard]

That's true. He's still pronouncing it wrong, though ;)
