My own take on Ad Nauseam, combining the old Ad Nauseam combo, folding it into an Orzhov Death's Shadow concept. The basic idea here is to tutor up your Death's Shadow with a phyrexian unlife on the field, using your opponent or your own card draw to send your life total into the negative. Then to tutor up your Rites of consumption and fling the giant shadow at face. It uses angel's grace as another safe guard, and also allows you to pact with reckless abandon. Faith's shield allows you to just beat face with a giant shadow, or protect it and yourself from removal and burn. Splashing blue allows to actually pay for the pact, if you need to, but allows for the addition of a few more shocks (you want to hurt yourself quite a bit). It's other, more important purpose, is to tutor up your bosieju using the Tolaria west and lock in your Rite (or any other of the two cost casting spells, remember we like hurting ourselves.) The more we hurt, the bigger our shadow gets. Swinging with a protected shadow and either Unlife on the field or an angels grace followed by spoils of the vault for a card not in your library equates to a massive swinger as well. Any idea's are welcome and appreciated! I also haven't put together a sideboard yet, and would truly appreciate opinions regarding here.

An unfortunate cut, and addition. — Sept. 1, 2014

Edit

Upon playtesting I discovered that I ended almost every game with Ad Nauseam in hand, wishing i had something cheaper to dig just a little bit more! As such, i've turned this into simply what i've dubbed my Unlife deck. All of the Ad Nauseam's have been dropped in favor of a pair of Gitaxian Probes and the fourth Thoughtseize, Hopefully this will curb us into the turn four beatdown this deck wants so bad.
