How it works

  1. Cast Siren's Ruse by paying its mana cost, blinking Abdel Adrian.
  2. Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield, returning Ardent Elementalist and all other cards that were exiled with it to the battlefield.
  3. Abdel Adrian and Ardent Elementalist trigger.
  4. Resolve the Ardent Elementalist trigger, returning Siren's Ruse 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 Siren's Ruse.
  6. Resolve the Abdel Adrian trigger, exiling Ardent Elementalist 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 leverages Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward as a recursive engine, blinking him repeatedly with Siren's Ruse to churn out endless Soldier tokens and trigger effects. Each time Abdel Adrian re-enters the battlefield, his ability scoops up Ardent Elementalist alongside your mana-producing permanents, which instantly refunds Siren's Ruse from your graveyard right back to your hand. Meanwhile, Ardent Elementalist's entry trigger ensures you never run out of ammo, letting you continuously recast the instant to restart the entire sequence.
