How it works

  1. Cast Displace 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 Displace 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 Displace.
  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 brilliant loop centers on **Displace** to continuously reset **Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward**, generating an endless supply of Soldiers and mana while blinking your nonland permanents. Each iteration relies on **Skullwinder** entering the battlefield alongside Abdel Adrian to recur **Displace** right back to your hand, fueling the next casting. Because Abdel Adrian's exile trigger can swallow up your mana-producing permanents and Skullwinder over and over, you can float all the mana you need in response while feeding your engine infinitely.
