Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward + Settle Beyond Reality + Scholar of the Ages

Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward

Settle Beyond Reality

Scholar of the Ages

How it works

1. Cast Settle Beyond Reality by paying its mana cost, blinking Abdel Adrian.
2. Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield, returning Scholar of the Ages and all other cards that were exiled with it to the battlefield.
3. Abdel Adrian and Scholar of the Ages trigger.
4. Resolve the Scholar of the Ages 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 Scholar of the Ages 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 relies on Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward cycling continuously in and out of exile to fuel an engine of relentless recursive value. By casting Settle Beyond Reality, you blink Abdel Adrian—which in turn triggers Scholar of the Ages upon its return to scoop Settle Beyond Reality right back out of your graveyard and into your hand. Every iteration leaves you with a growing army of 1/1 white Soldier creature tokens while clearing away your opponents' boards, effortlessly turning a modest spell into an infinite cascade of triggers and resources.
