Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward + Salvager of Secrets + Ghostly Flicker

Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward

Salvager of Secrets

Ghostly Flicker

How it works

1. Cast Ghostly Flicker by paying its mana cost, blinking Abdel Adrian.
2. Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield, returning Salvager of Secrets and all other cards that were exiled with it to the battlefield.
3. Abdel Adrian and Salvager of Secrets trigger.
4. Resolve the Salvager of Secrets trigger, returning Ghostly Flicker 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 Ghostly Flicker.
6. Resolve the Abdel Adrian trigger, exiling Salvager of Secrets 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 sets up an endless dance between Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward and Salvager of Secrets, fueled entirely by Ghostly Flicker. When Ghostly Flicker blinks your board, Abdel Adrian re-enters to exile Salvager of Secrets alongside your mana-producing permanents while spitting out an army of Soldier tokens. Salvager of Secrets triggers upon returning to pluck Ghostly Flicker right back out of your graveyard, letting you tap your permanents for mana before the next cycle begins. Because Abdel Adrian's exile trigger refreshes your mana sources and sets up the next flicker, you can repeat this process infinitely to flood the board with tokens and trigger any number of enter-the-battlefield effects.
