How it works

  1. Cast Settle Beyond Reality 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 Settle Beyond Reality 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 Settle Beyond Reality.
  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 ingenious loop turns a simple blink spell into a self-sustaining engine by exploiting the recursive power of Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward. When Settle Beyond Reality targets Abdel Adrian, his departure triggers the return of Pinnacle Monk, whose entry ability immediately plucks that same Settle Beyond Reality right back out of your graveyard and into your hand. Meanwhile, Abdel Adrian's re-entry eats up Pinnacle Monk along with your other mana-producing permanents, spitting out an army of Soldier tokens while resetting the whole sequence.
