How it works

  1. Cast Blur by paying its mana cost, blinking Abdel Adrian and causing you to draw a card.
  2. Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield, returning Pinnacle Monk and all other cards that were exiled with it to the battlefield.
  3. Abdel Adrian and Pinnacle Monk trigger.
  4. Resolve the Pinnacle Monk 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 Pinnacle Monk 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 revolves around Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward cycling in and out of exile to continuously reset the board while fueling your mana sources. By casting Blur, you blink Abdel Adrian, whose entering-the-battlefield trigger then exiles both your mana-producing permanents and Pinnacle Monk (played on its front face). When Pinnacle Monk returns, its ability reaches into your graveyard to retrieve Blur, allowing you to cast the spell all over again while drawing cards along the way.
