Reveal the top card of your library and put that card into your hand. You lose life equal to its mana value. You may repeat this process any number of times.
"Alcune aree sono proibite per proteggere i libri. Altre per proteggere gli studenti."
-Isabough, archivista del BiblioplexRivela la prima carta del tuo grimorio e aggiungila alla tua mano. Perdi punti vita pari al suo valore di mana. Puoi ripetere questo procedimento un qualsiasi numero di volte.
If a card in a player's library has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0 for the purpose of determining its mana value.
Each time you put the revealed card into your hand and lose the appropriate amount of life, you decide whether to continue by revealing another card. You don't decide in advance how many cards to put into your hand this way.
You may continue to reveal cards with Ad Nauseam even if your life total has been reduced to 0 or less. If you continue, you will continue to lose life, dropping your life total into negative numbers. As soon as you stop, you'll lose the game as a state-based action.
