How it works

  1. Cast Phantom Steed by paying 3U mana.
  2. When Phantom Steed enters the battlefield, its first ability triggers, exiling Abdel Adrian until Phantom Steed leaves the battlefield.
  3. Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield, ending its effect, causing Suspension Field to return from exile to the battlefield.
  4. When Suspension Field enters the battlefield, it triggers, exiling Phantom Steed until Suspension Field leaves the battlefield.
  5. Phantom Steed leaves the battlefield, ending its effect, causing Abdel Adrian to return from exile to the battlefield.
  6. When Abdel Adrian enters the battlefield, it triggers, exiling Suspension Field and any number of other nonland permanents you control until Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield and creating at least one 1/1 Soldier creature token.
  7. Suspension Field leaves the battlefield, ending its effect, causing Phantom Steed to return from exile to the battlefield.
  8. Repeat from step 2.

This clever loop turns the exile-and-return mechanics of Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward and Phantom Steed into a self-sustaining cycle fueled by Suspension Field. By bouncing back and forth between the battlefield and exile, Abdel Adrian continually triggers its entry ability to generate an endless army of 1/1 Soldier tokens while cycling your other nonland permanents through exile. Because each piece's departure automatically forces the next card back onto the battlefield, the loop requires no outside mana to keep spinning once it gets rolling.
