Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward + Cloudshift + Donnie & April, Adorkable Duo

Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward

Cloudshift

Donnie & April, Adorkable Duo

How it works

1. Cast Cloudshift by paying its mana cost, blinking Abdel Adrian.
2. Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield, returning Donnie & April and all other cards that were exiled with it to the battlefield.
3. Abdel Adrian and Donnie & April trigger.
4. Resolve the Donnie & April trigger, returning Cloudshift 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 Cloudshift.
6. Resolve the Abdel Adrian trigger, exiling Donnie & April 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 revolves around Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward, who constantly resets the battlefield and generates an army of 1/1 Soldier tokens by exiling your own permanents. To keep the cycle going, Cloudshift continuously blinks Abdel Adrian to trigger those resets, while Donnie & April, Adorkable Duo cleverly reaches into your graveyard to return Cloudshift back to your hand every single iteration. By layering in your mana-producing permanents for Abdel Adrian to scoop up and untap upon return, you generate infinite enter-the-battlefield triggers, storm count, and blinking power to overwhelm the table.
