How it works

  1. Cast Spark Double by paying 3U mana, choosing to have it enter the battlefield as a nonlegendary copy of Abdel Adrian.
  2. When Spark Double enters the battlefield, it triggers, exiling Abdel Adrian until Spark Double leaves the battlefield and creating a 1/1 Soldier creature token.
  3. When Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield, Oblivion Ring returns from exile to the battlefield.
  4. When Oblivion Ring enters the battlefield, its first ability triggers, exiling Spark Double.
  5. When Spark Double leaves the battlefield, Abdel Adrian returns from exile to the battlefield.
  6. When Abdel Adrian enters the battlefield, it triggers, exiling Oblivion Ring until Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield and creating a 1/1 Soldier creature token.
  7. When Oblivion Ring leaves the battlefield, its second ability triggers, returning Spark Double to the battlefield from exile as a nonlegendary copy of Abdel Adrian.
  8. Repeat from step 2.

This brilliant loop revolves around a perpetual game of tag between Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward and a nonlegendary copy of him made by Spark Double, which bypasses the legendary rule entirely. Every time one of them enters the battlefield, their exile trigger swallows up Oblivion Ring—which in turn was holding the other clone hostage—allowing the trapped copy to bounce right back in and continue the cycle. As this infinite tango repeats, Oblivion Ring acts as the clever middleman that keeps the gears turning, flooding your board with an endless army of 1/1 Soldier creature tokens while triggering any other enter-the-battlefield effects you have running.
