How it works

  1. Cast Flicker of Fate by paying its mana cost, blinking Abdel Adrian.
  2. Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield, returning Pinnacle Monk and all other cards that were exiled with it to the battlefield.
  3. Abdel Adrian and Pinnacle Monk trigger.
  4. Resolve the Pinnacle Monk trigger, returning Flicker of Fate 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 Flicker of Fate.
  6. Resolve the Abdel Adrian trigger, exiling Pinnacle Monk 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 clever loop begins by casting Flicker of Fate to blink Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward, triggering his entrance ability to exile your other nonland permanents—including Pinnacle Monk // Mystic Peak—while spawning a growing army of 1/1 Soldier tokens. As Pinnacle Monk // Mystic Peak re-enters the battlefield, its triggered ability conveniently plucks Flicker of Fate right back out of your graveyard and into your hand. Between each flicker, you can tap those temporarily exiled mana-producing permanents to float the mana needed to repeat the process indefinitely.
