How it works
- Cast Against All Odds by paying its mana cost, blinking Abdel Adrian.
- Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield, returning Skullwinder and all other cards that were exiled with it to the battlefield.
- Abdel Adrian and Skullwinder trigger.
- Resolve the Skullwinder trigger, returning Against All Odds from your graveyard to your hand.
- Holding priority, activate any number of nonland permanents you control by tapping them, adding at least enough mana to cast Against All Odds.
- Resolve the Abdel Adrian trigger, exiling Skullwinder 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.
- Repeat.
This brilliant loop centers on Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward, who acts as our blinking anchor by swallowing up our own board and spitting out an army of Soldier tokens every time he returns. We jump-start this perpetual motion machine using Against All Odds to exile and immediately bounce Abdel Adrian, while Skullwinder dutifully digs Against All Odds right back out of the graveyard the moment it reenters alongside him. Along the way, Skullwinder's recursion forces an opponent to cycle cards from their graveyard, but more importantly, it lets us endlessly loop our spells and permanents for infinite tokens and magecraft triggers.
