How it works

  1. Cast Slip On the Ring by paying its mana cost, blinking Abdel Adrian.
  2. Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield, returning Returned Pastcaller and all other cards that were exiled with it to the battlefield.
  3. Abdel Adrian and Returned Pastcaller trigger.
  4. Resolve the Returned Pastcaller trigger, returning Slip On the Ring 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 Slip On the Ring.
  6. Resolve the Abdel Adrian trigger, exiling Returned Pastcaller 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 turns a simple blink spell into an infinite engine by leveraging Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward to continuously reset your board. When you cast Slip On the Ring to exile and return Abdel Adrian, his entry triggers alongside Returned Pastcaller's ability to pull that very same instant right back from your graveyard into your hand. Meanwhile, Abdel Adrian's exile trigger sweeps up Returned Pastcaller and your mana-producing permanents, leaving you free to tap them for mana before they vanish and flooding the board with an endless army of 1/1 Soldier tokens.
