Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward + Essence Flux + Timeless Witness

Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward

Essence Flux

Timeless Witness

How it works

1. Cast Essence Flux by paying its mana cost, blinking Abdel Adrian.
2. Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield, returning Timeless Witness and all other cards that were exiled with it to the battlefield.
3. Abdel Adrian and Timeless Witness trigger.
4. Resolve the Timeless Witness trigger, returning Essence Flux 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 Essence Flux.
6. Resolve the Abdel Adrian trigger, exiling Timeless Witness 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 turns Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward into a relentless engine by leveraging Essence Flux to repeatedly blink him in and out of play. Each time Abdel Adrian re-enters the battlefield, his triggered ability sweeps away your other nonland permanents—including Timeless Witness and your mana sources—leaving behind a growing army of 1/1 Soldier tokens. Because Timeless Witness brings back Essence Flux from your graveyard upon its return, you have instant access to recast the spell that keeps the whole cycle spinning.
