Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward + Illusionist's Stratagem + Shipwreck Dowser

Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward

Illusionist's Stratagem

Shipwreck Dowser

How it works

1. Cast Illusionist's Stratagem by paying its mana cost, blinking Abdel Adrian.
2. Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield, returning Shipwreck Dowser and all other cards that were exiled with it to the battlefield.
3. Abdel Adrian and Shipwreck Dowser trigger.
4. Resolve the Shipwreck Dowser trigger, returning Illusionist's Stratagem 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 Illusionist's Stratagem.
6. Resolve the Abdel Adrian trigger, exiling Shipwreck Dowser 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 elegant loop turns Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward into an infinite engine of bodies and blinking by using his enter-the-battlefield trigger to continuously swallow and release your other key pieces. With Shipwreck Dowser alongside him to pull Illusionist's Stratagem back from your graveyard every time they re-enter, every iteration of the spell nets you a fresh card draw from its effect while generating a growing army of Soldier tokens. It's a masterclass in recursive value where your blink targets fund the next cast and fuel an endless cycle on the battlefield.
