How it works

  1. Cast Planar Incision 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 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 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 an infinite engine by leveraging Planar Incision to constantly reset his entry trigger, which in turn perpetually recycles your board. Every iteration relies on Timeless Witness entering alongside him to fish Planar Incision right back out of your graveyard, ensuring you never run out of gas. Because Abdel Adrian also temporarily swallows your mana sources and spits them back out fresh, you can tap them for mana during the dance to effortlessly pay for each new Planar Incision while flooding the board with an endless army of Soldier tokens.
