Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward + Ghostly Flicker + Timeless Witness

Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward

Ghostly Flicker

Timeless Witness

How it works

1. Cast Ghostly Flicker by paying its mana cost, blinking Abdel Adrian.
2. Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield, returning Timeless Witness and all other cards that were exiled with it to the battlefield.
3. Abdel Adrian and Timeless Witness trigger.
4. Resolve the Timeless Witness trigger, returning Ghostly Flicker 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 Ghostly Flicker.
6. Resolve the Abdel Adrian trigger, exiling Timeless Witness 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 blink engine gets its momentum from Ghostly Flicker, which continuously resets Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward alongside another vital piece. While Abdel Adrian is busy flooding the board with an endless army of 1/1 Soldier tokens by repeatedly exiling and re-entering your other nonland permanents, Timeless Witness plays the crucial role of recycling Ghostly Flicker back to your hand every single time it hits the battlefield. By weaving mana-producing permanents into Abdel Adrian's exile pool alongside Timeless Witness, you can float all the mana you need to recast Ghostly Flicker on each iteration, sustaining the loop indefinitely.
