How it works

  1. Cast Against All Odds 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 Against All Odds 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 Against All Odds.
  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 loop relies on an endless cycle of blinking and recursion to flood the board with infinite Soldier tokens, storm count, and triggers. It all kicks off when you cast Against All Odds to exile and blink Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward, whose departure immediately returns Pinnacle Monk // Mystic Peak to the battlefield alongside whatever else he was holding. The Monk's enters-the-battlefield ability then fishes Against All Odds right back out of your graveyard, ready to be cast again while Abdel's own fresh trigger sweeps up your mana-producers and the Monk anew.
