Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward + Repository Skaab + Cloudshift

Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward

Repository Skaab

Cloudshift

How it works

1. Cast Cloudshift by paying its mana cost, blinking Abdel Adrian.
2. Abdel Adrian leaves and re-enters the battlefield, causing all cards exiled with it to be returned to the battlefield. Abdel Adrian and Repository Skaab's exploit ability trigger.
3. Resolve the Repository Skaab trigger, exploiting another creature and triggering its second ability.
4. Holding priority, activate any number of permanents by tapping them, adding at least the cost of Cloudshift.
5. Resolve the Repository Skaab trigger, returning Cloudshift from your graveyard to your hand.
6. Resolve the Abdel Adrian trigger, exiling the mana producing permanent(s) and Repository Skaab and creating that many 1/1 Soldier creature tokens.
7. Repeat.

This elegant loop transforms Cloudshift into an engine of continuous creation by leveraging Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward to repeatedly blink your entire board. As Abdel Adrian re-enters, it exiles your mana-producing permanents along with Repository Skaab, leaving behind an army of Soldier tokens to fuel the process. When Repository Skaab exploits a creature via its exploit ability, it capitalizes on the chaos by returning Cloudshift from your graveyard straight back to your hand, ready to restart the cycle.
