How it works

  1. Cast Planar Incision by paying its mana cost, blinking Abdel Adrian.
  2. Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield, returning Invasion of Arcavios and all other cards that were exiled with it to the battlefield.
  3. Abdel Adrian and Invasion of Arcavios trigger.
  4. Resolve the Invasion of Arcavios trigger, returning Planar Incision 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 Planar Incision.
  6. Resolve the Abdel Adrian trigger, exiling Invasion of Arcavios 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 ingenious loop sets up an endless dance between Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward and Invasion of Arcavios, fueled by casting Planar Incision to constantly blink our glorious protector. Every time Invasion of Arcavios enters the battlefield (or transforms via Invocation of the Founders), it tutors an instant or sorcery from your graveyard right back to your hand, allowing you to continually retrieve Planar Incision for the next iteration. Meanwhile, Abdel Adrian's exile trigger continuously swallows up your mana-producing permanents and the Siege itself, generating a massive army of Soldier tokens while resetting the whole board state.
