Most Modern Combo decks, like Twin or Abzan Company, can win using their various combos but can win by attacking too.
Chandra, Awakened Inferno: I will be honest and say I am not a huge fan of this card from a play perspective or even a design perspective. Link, Featured in a now very old article from Melissa DeTora on WOTC's own page on 05.18.2015: Link, A video interview by Jonathon "Nikachu" Zaczek with Ad Nauseam master and devotee G. Ryan "GR_Donkin" Donkin at the following address: GR_Donkin Interview*. I was drawn to it mainly due to the fact that I am a Latinist, so in many ways it bridges the gap for me between two of my main interests. It again messes up the Pentad Prism math, and ever since the printing of Field of Ruin has been, in my opinion, obsolete. 1-0.
Their fastest way to win involves Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle, so I bring in Leyline of Sanctity to cut off that line as its faster than us. See cards from the most recent sets and discover what players just like you are saying about them. ☆
Opponent here had no opening hand discard which was a huge plus, instead hoping to win with a fast clock via Tarmogoyf.
With KCI gone there is an argument that there is no single artifact deck that needs to be meta-gamed for in modern. Removal gives us a chance but we will more than likely lose game one. Dreadship Reef is a card that sees moderate play however I personally hate it.

The investment is high and modern control now has a tool where, unlike before, they don't lose a land for dealing with the Dreadship Reef, others will tell you that Dreadship Reef is great, however I have always found it to be a wasted slot where I would rather have a coloured source, the matchups it is good in are now prepared to deal with it, and after that it too often can slow us down.
The argument against it is that it is not better than simply playing a wrath in most cases.
Boseiju, Who Shelters All has suffered the same problem as Dreadship Reef, where it used to be acceptable to play it in the sideboard, Field of Ruin has rendered it fundamentally useless in many situations, the redeeming quality for Boseiju, Who Shelters All as opposed to Dreadship Reef is that it HAS to be dealt with or we will win, but regardless it is unfortunately hard to justify playing while Field of Ruin is popular. Also noteworthy is its ability to dodge Chalice of the Void due to replicate. It likely replaces a Sleight of Hand if one chooses to play it, the thinking there being that Thassa's Oracle is an adequate cantrip and that the tutor effect on Grim Tutor is better than having a fifth dedeicated cantrip like Sleight of Hand. The appeal to Peer Through Depths is that it is not nearly as random as Spoils of the Vault and cannot kill you on the spot. Moving to game three, again the opponent made a fairly high profile error, on turn 6, whilst I had combo mana up, they cycled a Shark Typhoon at the end of my turn using all their mana (presumably because they had Force of Negation in hand). No matter the order, Angel's Grace needs to be cast prior to Spoils of the Vault when attempting to pull this off due to how priority works upon casting Spoils of the Vault.
Because of that, there is no.
Inferno Titan? Without going into the nuances of playing out this combo, which will be included later, the basic idea is to spend turn 2 playing a Pentad Prism giving you access to 4 mana on turn 3. These represent the various utility lands one can play in Ad Nauseam to their own liking, I will go through them sequentially. Moreover, an interaction that is sometimes lost on newer players is that with Serum Visions or a scry land, it is possible to set up a Spoils of the Vault to essentially work as an extra draw by tutoring for the card put on top; this can come in handy, allowing us to see two cards instead of one in some spots.
OUT: -1x Sleight of Hand, -2x Pact of Negation | IN: +1x Thoughtseize, +1x Echoing Truth, +1x Path to Exile. The same goes for Fury of the Horde, although I don't know what you would replace it with; maybe Assault Strobe or Temur Battle Rage?
We have to try and account for all of this which makes the matchup difficult, I trim on a number of cards and try to focus in on resolving Ad Nauseam to win. At the core, Ad Nauseam Tendrils is essentially a UBrgw storm-based combo deck. That said, in the right meta Teferi, Time Raveler can be a consideration, however it is hard to find space at times with Veil of Summer also in the format. After 7 turns of developing mana and playing draw-go magic, opponent decided to attempt to resolve an escaped Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath to provide some form of a clock leaving 2 mana up, having the combo in hand and a Pact of Negation, I went for it.
0-3 Sleight of Hand: Of the two cantrips in the deck Sleight of Hand is the worse of the two, hence why it has been a casualty of the rise of Thassa's Oracle which has a similar effect. ☆ Karn, the Great Creator is a bit of a concern so making space for one of Thoughtseize or Echoing Truth, especially on the draw, should be your second consideration so that you can continue to race them. This is where the card shines, however it has very few applications elsewhere. 0: Until end of turn, Gideon of the Trials becomes a 4/4 Human Soldier creature with indestructible that's still a planeswalker.
