How it works

  1. Cast Illusionist's Stratagem by paying its mana cost, blinking Abdel Adrian.
  2. Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield, returning Greenwarden of Murasa and all other cards that were exiled with it to the battlefield.
  3. Abdel Adrian and Greenwarden of Murasa trigger.
  4. Resolve the Greenwarden of Murasa 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 Greenwarden of Murasa 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 cunning loop uses Illusionist's Stratagem to repeatedly blink Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward, which creates an army of 1/1 white Soldier creature tokens while temporarily stashing your other mana-producing permanents out of harm's way. Each time Abdel Adrian re-enters, Greenwarden of Murasa enters alongside him to retrieve Illusionist's Stratagem from your graveyard, ensuring you never run out of gas. Because Illusionist's Stratagem also draws a card upon resolution, this engine cleanly cycles through your entire deck while generating infinite mana and effects.
