Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward + Skullwinder + Illusionist's Stratagem

Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward

Skullwinder

Illusionist's Stratagem

How it works

1. Cast Illusionist's Stratagem by paying its mana cost, blinking Abdel Adrian.
2. Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield, returning Skullwinder and all other cards that were exiled with it to the battlefield.
3. Abdel Adrian and Skullwinder trigger.
4. Resolve the Skullwinder trigger, returning Illusionist's Stratagem 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 Illusionist's Stratagem.
6. Resolve the Abdel Adrian trigger, exiling Skullwinder 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 ingenious loop starts when you cast Illusionist's Stratagem to blink Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward, triggering his entrance ability to swallow up your mana sources alongside Skullwinder. When Skullwinder re-enters, its triggered ability lets you fish Illusionist's Stratagem right back out of your graveyard to your hand. Tapping those freshly unexiled mana sources before Abdel Adrian eats them again pays for the next casting of Illusionist's Stratagem, keeping the cycle spinning endlessly.
