Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward + Salvager of Secrets + Splash Portal

Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward

Salvager of Secrets

Splash Portal

How it works

1. Cast Splash Portal 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 Splash Portal 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 Splash Portal.
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 clever loop relies on the constant re-entry of Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward to repeatedly harvest value from your permanents by temporarily exiling them and spawning an army of 1/1 Soldier tokens in the process. By casting Splash Portal, you trigger Abdel Adrian's blink effect, which in turn sends Salvager of Secrets and your mana-producing permanents back to the battlefield. Salvager of Secrets then does its crucial work by retrieving Splash Portal right back from your graveyard into your hand, ready to restart the cycle. Because Abdel Adrian's exile effect scoops up everything else you control, you can float all your needed mana before letting that trigger resolve, ultimately churning through infinite enter-the-battlefield and leave-the-battlefield triggers.
