How it works

  1. At the beginning of your upkeep, cast Angel's Grace by paying W mana, preventing you from losing the game this turn.
  2. Cast Ad Nauseam by paying 3B manaB mana.
  3. Resolve Ad Nauseam, revealing the top card of your library, putting that card into your hand and losing life equal to that card's mana value.
  4. Repeat the process in step 3 until you have an empty library.
  5. On your draw step, Laboratory Maniac triggers, winning you the game.

This classic combo pulls off a breathtaking victory by weaponizing your own deck into a single massive draw engine. You begin by casting Angel's Grace to safely bypass the lethal life loss you are about to incur, ensuring that your life total cannot be reduced below one. With that protective shield active, you cast Ad Nauseam to repeatedly reveal and draw cards from your library, taking astronomical life loss until your entire deck rests comfortably in your hand. Once your library is completely empty, your turn progresses to the draw step, allowing Laboratory Maniac's replacement effect to instantly turn that zero-card library into a glorious win.
