Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward

Invasion of Arcavios // Invocation of the Founders

Flicker of Fate

How it works

1. Cast Flicker of Fate by paying its mana cost, blinking Abdel Adrian.
2. Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield, returning Invasion of Arcavios and all other cards that were exiled with it to the battlefield.
3. Abdel Adrian and Invasion of Arcavios trigger.
4. Resolve the Invasion of Arcavios trigger, returning Flicker of Fate 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 Flicker of Fate.
6. Resolve the Abdel Adrian trigger, exiling Invasion of Arcavios 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 loop turns a simple blink spell into an unstoppable engine by leveraging Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward to repeatedly cycle Invasion of Arcavios and your mana sources in and out of exile. Every iteration begins by casting Flicker of Fate to blink Abdel Adrian, which triggers Invasion of Arcavios to return that very same Flicker of Fate from your graveyard right back to your hand. As Abdel Adrian re-enters, it gobbles up Invasion of Arcavios and your mana-producing permanents, spitting out a growing army of 1/1 Soldier creature tokens while effortlessly resetting the entire puzzle.
