Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward + Glorious Protector + Journey to Nowhere

Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward

Glorious Protector

Journey to Nowhere

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 Journey to Nowhere to return from exile to the battlefield.
4. When Journey to Nowhere enters the battlefield, its first ability triggers, exiling Glorious Protector.
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 Journey to Nowhere 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. When Journey to Nowhere leaves the battlefield, its second ability triggers, returning Glorious Protector to the battlefield from exile.
8. Repeat from step 2.

This ingenious loop relies on a continuous cycle of exile and return that endlessly triggers entering-and-leaving-the-battlefield abilities. When you cast Glorious Protector, its entry exiles Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward, which in turn causes Journey to Nowhere to return to the battlefield and immediately snatch away the Protector. That departure brings Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward right back to repeat the process, letting you continuously stack up fresh triggers, endlessly recycle your other nonland permanents, and flood the board with an infinite army of 1/1 Soldier tokens.
