Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward + Rescue Skiff + Shilgengar, Sire of Famine

Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward

Rescue Skiff

Shilgengar, Sire of Famine

How it works

1. Cast Abdel Adrian by paying 4.
2. When Abdel Adrian enters, it triggers, exiling Rescue Skiff until Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield and creating a 1/1 Soldier creature token.
3. Activate Shilgengar by sacrificing Abdel Adrian
4. Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield, causing Rescue Skiff to return to the battlefield from exile.
5. When Rescue Skiff enters, it triggers, returning Abdel Adrian from your graveyard to the battlefield.
6. When Abdel Adrian enters, it triggers, exiling Rescue Skiff until Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield and creating a 1/1 Soldier creature token.
7. Resolve the Shilgengar ability from step 3.
8. Repeat from step 3.

This clever loop uses Shilgengar, Sire of Famine as a sacrifice outlet to feed our engine, turning its activated ability into an infinite resource generator. By sacrificing Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward to Shilgengar, we trigger Abdel's departure which releases Rescue Skiff from exile. That returning Rescue Skiff immediately triggers its own ability to resurrect Abdel Adrian from the graveyard, restarting the cycle and allowing us to continually exile and re-enter Rescue Skiff alongside generating an endless supply of Soldier tokens.
