Ad Nauseam normally caps itself at the pilot's life total; Teferi's Protection removes that ceiling by phasing out life totals entirely, turning a five-mana sorcery into a full library draw at instant-speed protection. White-black storm and combo shells — Teysa Karlov, Liesa Shroud of Dusk, any WB or WUBR list running both colors — use this line to assemble any other win condition in hand on the same turn.

  3. Repeat the process in step 2 as many times as desired.

Result

Infinite card draw

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Angel's Grace does the same job as Teferi's Protection, preventing life loss from Ad Nauseam for a single white mana at instant speed; it's the tighter one-mana alternative and the first cut to consider. Once the library is in hand, Aetherflux Reservoir or Thassa's Oracle convert the card advantage into a table kill — the draw engine needs a finisher stapled to it.
