How it works

  1. Cast Acrobatic Maneuver by paying its mana cost, blinking Abdel Adrian.
  2. Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield, returning Shipwreck Dowser and all other cards that were exiled with it to the battlefield.
  3. Abdel Adrian and Shipwreck Dowser trigger.
  4. Resolve the Shipwreck Dowser trigger, returning Acrobatic Maneuver from your graveyard to your hand.
  5. Holding priority, activate any number of nonland permanents you control by tapping them, adding at least enough mana to cast Acrobatic Maneuver.
  6. Resolve the Abdel Adrian trigger, exiling Shipwreck Dowser and the mana-producing permanents until Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield, and creating a 1/1 Soldier creature token for each permanent exiled this way.
  7. Repeat.

This clever loop hinges on Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward cycling continuously in and out of exile to churn out an endless army of Soldier tokens and draw your entire deck through Acrobatic Maneuver's built-in card draw. Each time Abdel Adrian re-enters the battlefield, he temporarily scoops up your mana-producing permanents along with Shipwreck Dowser, whose entry trigger reliably fishes Acrobatic Maneuver right back out of your graveyard. By floating mana from those temporary exiles before Abdel Adrian swallows them up again, you fuel the next iteration of the spell and keep the engine humming indefinitely.
