Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward

Lumbering Battlement

Mirror Image

How it works

1. Cast Lumbering Battlement by paying 4.
2. When Lumbering Battlement enters the battlefield, it triggers, exiling Abdel Adrian until Lumbering Battlement leaves the battlefield.
3. Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield, ending its effect, causing Mirror Image to return from exile to the battlefield as a copy of Lumbering Battlement.
4. When Mirror Image enters the battlefield, it triggers, exiling Lumbering Battlement until Mirror Image leaves the battlefield.
5. Lumbering Battlement leaves the battlefield, ending its effect, causing Abdel Adrian to return from exile to the battlefield.
6. When Abdel Adrian enters the battlefield, it triggers, exiling Mirror Image and any number of other nonland permanents you control until Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield and creating at least one 1/1 Soldier creature token.
7. Mirror Image leaves the battlefield, ending its effect, causing Lumbering Battlement to return to the battlefield from exile.
8. Repeat from step 2.

This brilliant loop creates an infinite cycle of entry and exit triggers by bouncing our key permanents back and forth. It all starts when Lumbering Battlement hits the board to exile Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward, which in turn drops the safety net of its own exile effect and lets Mirror Image safely return as a fresh copy of Lumbering Battlement. Because Mirror Image is now a new Battlement, it immediately triggers to eat the original Lumbering Battlement, returning Abdel Adrian to the fray to repeat the dance, spin off an endless army of Soldier tokens, and blink any other nonland permanents you control along the way.
