Item Condition

Magic: The Gathering single: Ad Nauseam, from Shards of Alara. Our grade: Lightly Played or better. Pictured: this printing of the card. Every card ships triple-sleeved — a soft sleeve, a deck sleeve and a rigid top loader.

Item Description

Ad Nauseam is pure push-your-luck. For five mana at instant speed, you reveal the top card of your library, put it into your hand, and lose life equal to its mana value. Then you decide whether to do it again, and again, as many times as your life total allows. A deck full of lands and cheap spells can pull a huge chunk of its library into hand in one go.

That is why the card became shorthand for combo. Modern players named a whole archetype after it, pairing it with Angel's Grace or Phyrexian Unlife so the life loss didn't matter, and black Commander decks cast it at the end of an opponent's turn to draw a mountain of cards before their own turn begins. In casual games it is just as thrilling: every flip is a small gamble, and the whole table leans in to watch.

This is the original Shards of Alara printing from 2008, collector number 63, illustrated by Jeremy Jarvis, in non-foil. The flavor text is wonderfully grim: "When the task spilled over into undeath, he stopped calling it his life's work."
