How it works

  1. Cast Siren's Ruse by paying its mana cost, blinking Abdel Adrian.
  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 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 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 uses Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward as a recursive engine, constantly resetting itself and your board state with the help of Siren's Ruse. Whenever Siren's Ruse blinks Abdel Adrian, the resulting triggers let you replay the instant while Pinnacle Monk safely returns from your graveyard to hand, fueling an endless chain of mana and token generation. Because Pinnacle Monk pulls the blink spell right back to your hand on entry, you can continuously tap your other permanents for mana before Abdel Adrian sweeps them back up into exile, repeating the cycle infinitely.
