Just wanted to freak them out so the banlist thread would go cuckoo

All the top-32 of GP Los Angeles are solid decks. GP Charlotte... I'm lost. Especially Ad-Nauseam. How often does it win before turn 4? And where does it get its consistency from? You need multiple pieces, it's like a collected company deck without the beatdown plan. This is one deck I have no clue how it works.

Ad Nauseam can win on the draw on turn 2, but it's less than 1% out of all my games.

Ad Nauseam is just the best non interactive combo deck ever in Modern to me. It's been love and all since a year when I picked up the deck and always was glad with my results and results in Pro Tour (Jarred Boettcher 9th at Born of the Gods and Daniel Grafensteiner 7-2 at last Pro Tour), GPs (Darien Elderfield Top 4 in GP Charlotte 2015, Jon Benavides trial winner at GP Oklahoma City 2015, Troy Willmer trial winner at GP Detroit 2016), SCG Opens (Bill Raggle Top 16 at an IQ in Cleveland, Garrak Matheson 26th at SCG Open Charlotte 2015 and Nycholas Bird at the SCG Open in January) and States (Jonathan Benson taking down Colubums).

The deck is such a great deck : you sit by yourself, play cantrips for digging and placing mana rocks on the table while sculpting your hand and comboing in response to lethal damage. No interactions at all, I just love it. You have to love that and I know that the vast majority of player don't like it, but it's none of my business what players like or not. All I can say it that I love it

Ad Nauseam wins GP Charlotte, but also makes top 16 with the 14th seed (13-2, bad tie-breakers)! I think in LA, there's no top 32 Ad Nauseam, correct me if I'm wrong.

So for the first time, Ad Nauseam takes down a GP!!! Way to go Andreas Ganz : with a pile of 62 cards and very questionnable choices, he makes history!!! I'm so glad, I would never have guessed that Ad Nauseam would tear up a field like that. ENJOY ALL AD NAUSEAM PLAYERS AROUND THE WORLD, OUR DAY IS TODAY

Andreas Ganz to the finals against Holding : Ad Nauseam vs. Company, DREAM IS ON!!!!

Are you kidding me??? He's in the final against Sigrist or Bolding?

I'm all in with Andreas Ganz against the Company deck : Ad Nauseam dream IS ON GUYS!!!

Also, good job to Andrew Jeffries for a 13-2 run at GP Charlotte on Ad Nauseam, but out of Top 8 due to tie breakers

UPDATE : GP Charlotte site seems slow again, so if one of you has info on Top 8 (Ganz on Ad Nauseam), please post it

Any news now about Ad Nauseam players? I know that of now :

Andrew Brown is 8-2.
Nick Lee is 6-4.
Unknow number of other players.

- GP Charlotte:
Jonathan Benson is 8-3.
There should be two more players.

Anymore players that you guys would know?

Cheers!

Bob Huang is also playing AN, currently 24 points after round 11. If I'm not wrong, Mark Costantini is also on the deck, 27 points.

The dream is dead but at least we'll get an article out of it

Not bad for the deck. Glad that Benson did well. I'm not sure about maybe a Benavides playing Ad Nauseam also.
