How it works

  1. Cast Justiciar's Portal by paying its mana cost, blinking Abdel Adrian.
  2. Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield, returning Archaeomancer and all other cards that were exiled with it to the battlefield.
  3. Abdel Adrian and Archaeomancer trigger.
  4. Resolve the Archaeomancer trigger, returning Justiciar's Portal 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 Justiciar's Portal.
  6. Resolve the Abdel Adrian trigger, exiling Archaeomancer 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 ingenious loop kicks off when Justiciar's Portal blinks Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward, letting him temporarily swallow up Archaeomancer and whatever mana-producing permanents you need to keep the engine running. Every time Archaeomancer re-enters the battlefield, it scoops Justiciar's Portal right back out of your graveyard and into your hand, ready to be recast. Meanwhile, Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward continuously resets the board state while flooding your battlefield with an endless army of 1/1 Soldier tokens.
