Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward + Glorious Protector + Touch the Spirit Realm

Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward

Glorious Protector

Touch the Spirit Realm

How it works

1. Cast Glorious Protector by paying 2.
2. When Glorious Protector enters the battlefield, it triggers, exiling Abdel Adrian until Glorious Protector leaves the battlefield.
3. Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield, ending its effect, causing Touch the Spirit Realm to return from exile to the battlefield.
4. When Touch the Spirit Realm enters the battlefield, it triggers, exiling Glorious Protector until Touch the Spirit Realm leaves the battlefield.
5. When Glorious Protector leaves the battlefield, Abdel Adrian returns from exile to the battlefield.
6. When Abdel Adrian enters the battlefield, it triggers, exiling Touch the Spirit Realm 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. Touch the Spirit Realm leaves the battlefield, ending its effect, causing Glorious Protector to return to the battlefield from exile.
8. Repeat from step 2.

This elegant loop sets up a self-sustaining cycle of arrivals and departures by playing upon the exile-and-return triggers of Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward and Glorious Protector. As Abdel Adrian enters the battlefield, it feasts on Touch the Spirit Realm—alongside any other nonland permanents you wish to bring along for the ride—which immediately drops Touch the Spirit Realm back into play to banish Glorious Protector. That removal of Glorious Protector in turn releases Abdel Adrian right back to the field, creating an endless chain reaction that floods the board with infinite 1/1 Soldier creature tokens and infinite entry triggers.
