How it works

  1. Cast Blur by paying its mana cost, blinking Abdel Adrian.
  2. Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield, returning Archaeomancer and all other cards that were exiled with it to the battlefield.
  3. Abdel Adrian and Archaeomancer trigger.
  4. Resolve the Archaeomancer trigger, returning Blur 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 Blur.
  6. Resolve the Abdel Adrian trigger, exiling Archaeomancer 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 delightful loop achieves infinite card draw and an endless army of tokens by orchestrating a recursive dance around Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward. When Abdel Adrian enters the battlefield, he dutifully swallows up Archaeomancer and any mana-producing permanents you control, which in turn fuels the mana needed to cast Blur again. As Blur blinks Abdel Adrian, everything returns to the battlefield—allowing Archaeomancer to retrieve Blur from your graveyard while Abdel Adrian’s fresh enter-the-battlefield trigger resets the cycle and leaves behind a growing legion of Soldier tokens.
