How it works

  1. Cast Planar Incision by paying its mana cost, blinking Abdel Adrian.
  2. Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield, returning Pinnacle Monk and all other cards that were exiled with it to the battlefield.
  3. Abdel Adrian and Pinnacle Monk trigger.
  4. Resolve the Pinnacle Monk 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 Pinnacle Monk 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 delightful loop centers around Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward, who constantly resets the board by exiling your other permanents and flooding the field with Soldier tokens whenever he arrives. By casting Planar Incision to blink Abdel Adrian, you seamlessly cycle the entire engine: Abdel leaves and returns, freeing up your mana sources while Pinnacle Monk effortlessly loops Planar Incision right back out of your graveyard. Because Pinnacle Monk's Adventure half or back face provides the crucial instant-retrieval trigger on entry, every single iteration resets your resources, generates an infinite storm count, and leaves you with an endless army of tokens.
