Ad Nauseam

Instant Game Changer
2XM set symbol, RareDouble Masters#76Rare

Ad Nauseam has been in Commander decks for years, and it still splits tables the same way: either it ends the game on your turn, or it strands you at single-digit life with a hand full of lands and no way to close.

The take

It's a real combo piece pretending to be a card draw spell, and the tables that hate it hate it for good reason.

Set price around $11, EDHRec rank 1312, roughly six years since Double Masters printed it.

Plays well with

  • Angel's Grace

    Angel's Grace stops you from losing to Ad Nauseam's life loss, letting you flip your whole deck into hand before pivoting into a Laboratory Maniac style win.

  • Thassa's Oracle

    After Ad Nauseam empties or thins your library, Thassa's Oracle turns that near-empty deck into an immediate win.

  • Gamble

    A cheap tutor like Gamble sets up the combo pieces Ad Nauseam needs to convert its card draw into an actual kill instead of just a big hand.

Ad Nauseam Price Summary

The benchmark price (cheapest playable nonfoil) is $9.32, down 9.6% over 7 days, down 4.0% over 30 days, down 13.7% over 90 days.
