    Also, DaSneakyPete's Twitch page has a *ton* of videos on Ad Nauseam


    Am I looking at the wrong DaSneakyPete than? The twitch literally says No Videos in the achieve section.

    Does this guy not like to archive streams or anything?



    You're correct. It must have been updated since the last time I watched his streams. He used to archive everything, but it definitely now says that there aren't any broadcasts. Weird.

    Hey y'all. Haven't seen a report in awhile so I thought I'd write one up. Went to a ~30 man Modern tournament tonight, 5 rounds. I run the fetchless build of Ad Nauseam. The only deviance my deck has from stock is the sideboard. My meta is skewed towards Blood Moon backed control, so I also run an extra basic.

    R1: Bant Spirits (WIN, 2-0): Opponent starts on Breeding Pool and Noble Hierarch and gives me a heart attack. I assumed Infect until a Rattlechains came down a turn later. Not much to say about the two games, the opponent was inexperienced in the matchup, and he tapped out at the wrong times. T4 kill twice.

    R2: Hollow One (WIN, 2-0): Quick two games. T3 kill twice. First was natural, second occurred after a Burning Inquiry went my way instead of his.

    R3: Humans (LOSS, 1-2): G1 was typical Humans. Thalia, Guardian of Thraben + Meddling Mage + Clock is a beating. G2, I Echoing Truth a Meddling Mage on Lotus Bloom in response to the last suspend counter, then use a Guide to combo off. G3 he found just about every sideboard piece he had. It was a disaster.

    R4: Affinity (WIN, 2-0): G1 was a T4 win while I was at 8 Infect. Fun times. G2 was me stalling with 2 Hurkyl's Recall while I floundered for about 5 turns. Eventually got there.

    R5: Mono G Devotion (LOSS, 1-2): G1, T4 combo. G2, I keep a hand with Angel's Grace, City of Brass, Spoils of the Vault, and 3 Sleight of Hand, then proceed not to find a land in the top 10 cards.....G3, we both mull to 6, and I get buried under Primal Commands and Natural States.

    Thoughts: The deck seems fine in my meta. Only change is probably finding room for Echoing Truth in the MB, because Meddling Mage is a beating and I always seem to find the one Humans player we have. Humans is still a beating, even with me siding in a Fatal Push, Bontu's Last Reckoning, Echoing Truth, and Slaughter Pact. I fortunately didn't run into the other Ad Naus player and that awful mirror match.
