2XM #76
Viewing
Georginou just got floated as a home for Ad Nauseam, and the conversation keeps stalling on the same question: what actually closes the game? That question is the whole story of this card. It has been the engine of black combo shells for years, and it has always needed a partner to finish.

The take
Ad Nauseam is the best way to convert life into cards in black, but it is a draw engine, not a win condition, and a deck that forgets that just loses 30 life and stares at a full hand.
Roughly $10.51, with an EDHREC rank around 1,368
