How it works

  1. Cast Slip On the Ring 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 Slip On the Ring 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 Slip On the Ring.
  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 crafty loop turns a simple blink spell into an unstoppable engine by using Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward as a rotating exile-vessel for your entire board. When you cast Slip On the Ring to blink Abdel Adrian, the resulting cascade of enter-the-battlefield triggers allows Archaeomancer to fish the ring right back out of your graveyard. Meanwhile, Abdel Adrian safely hoards your mana sources and then spits them back out alongside Archaeomancer, ready to be tapped again before the next exile wave sweeps them away. The beauty of the mechanism lies in how every single iteration leaves behind a growing army of 1/1 white Soldier tokens while infinitely repeating your spells and triggers.
