How it works

  1. Cast Another Round 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 Another Round 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 Another Round.
  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 brilliant loop relies on Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward to continuously swallow and regurgitate your own permanents, acting as both the engine and the army-in-a-can. By using Another Round to blink Abdel Adrian, you reset his exile trigger to temporarily tuck away Salvager of Secrets alongside your mana-producing permanents and rack up an army of 1/1 Soldier tokens. When Salvager of Secrets returns to the battlefield, its enters-the-battlefield ability neatly fishes Another Round right back out of your graveyard and into your hand, ready to restart the cycle as soon as you tap your freshly un-exiled permanents for mana.
