How it works

  1. Cast Abdel Adrian either from your hand or from the command zone by paying 4W mana and commander tax, if applicable.
  2. When Abdel Adrian enters the battlefield, it triggers, exiling Restoration Angel until Abedl Adrian leaves the battlefield and creating a 1/1 Soldier creature token.
  3. Cast Flicker of Fate by paying its mana cost, blinking Abdel Adrian.
  4. Abdel Adrian leaves and enters the battlefield, causing Restoration Angel to return to the battlefield from exile, and triggering Abdel Adrian and Restoration Angel's enter abilities.
  5. Resolve the Abdel Adrian trigger, exiling Restoration Angel until Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield and creating a 1/1 Soldier creature token.
  6. Resolve the Restoration Angel trigger, blinking Abdel Adrian.
  7. Repeat from step 4.

This brilliant loop relies on the cyclical interaction between Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward and Restoration Angel to generate an endless cascade of triggers. When you use Flicker of Fate to kickstart the process, Abdel Adrian enters the battlefield and exiles Restoration Angel, which in turn blinks Abdel Adrian right back out upon its return. From there, the two creatures continuously rescue and re-trigger each other, letting Abdel Adrian's entry ability sweep up your other nonland permanents while flooding the board with infinite Soldier tokens and creature entry events.
