Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward + Rescue Skiff + Phantom Train

Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward

Rescue Skiff

Phantom Train

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 Phantom Train 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 Phantom Train ability from step 3.
8. Repeat from step 3.

This looping engine uses Phantom Train as a sacrifice outlet to repeatedly send Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward to the graveyard. Each time Abdel Adrian enters the battlefield, it exiles Rescue Skiff, which immediately returns to the field due to its own entry trigger and fishes Abdel Adrian straight back out of the graveyard. Because Abdel Adrian also leaves behind a steady stream of Soldier creature tokens with every cycle, you generate an endless loop of entries, exits, and sacrifices to fuel any number of powerful game-winning triggers.
