Woah, woah, is that even legal? There has to be a law against looking that cool and being a big enough nerd to be looking at this deck. Well, anyway, since I've got you here...

This is my take on Ad Nauseam (Budget CEDH)! Our commanders, Reyhan, Last of the Abzan and Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh, are simply here to be sacrifice fodder for our various spells. Our main wincon is to tutor and play Ad Nauseam and play one of our two combos.

Combo one is Chain of Smog + Witherbloom Apprentice . If you target yourself with Chain, you can do it again, and again, and again. If you have Witherbloom out, that's going to drain everyone else to death.

Combo two is Glacial Chasm + Sickening Dreams . If you have Chasm out and play Dreams, discarding 40~ cards, you'll smoke them and won't take any damage yourself.

If you want to entirely draw out your deck and not die, you have to be keeping track of mana cost. The total CMC of this deck is 51. If you subtract our commanders and Ad Nauseam, which will never be a factor in deciding damage from Ad Naus. So, since 51-8=43, you have to have a total of CMC cards in your hand, exile, grave, or on the battle field. This number, of course, goes up when you take damage, so taking 1 damage means you need to see 5 CMC, etc. The main reason I'm explaining this is for dummies like me who didn't know how to play Ad Nauseam, saw, "Oh, I can just draw out the entire deck then," and then didn't use my brain, dying.

As for the power level, this is probably a low power level seven, high six. That said, it's really easy to interact with and interrupt, if your opponent is playing blue.

Also note that this deck has a $100 budget. Everyone in my playgroup has to abide by this and has to edit decks to be under $100 if they go over before they can be played again.

I'm always open to suggestions if you have them, so feel free to ask and talk to me.
