How it works

  1. Cast Acrobatic Maneuver by paying its mana cost, blinking Abdel Adrian.
  2. Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield, returning Warden of the Eye and all other cards that were exiled with it to the battlefield.
  3. Abdel Adrian and Warden of the Eye trigger.
  4. Resolve the Warden of the Eye trigger, returning Acrobatic Maneuver 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 Acrobatic Maneuver.
  6. Resolve the Abdel Adrian trigger, exiling Warden of the Eye 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 elegant loop turns a simple blink spell into an unstoppable engine by leveraging Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward to repeatedly sweep your own board and generate an army of Soldier tokens. Each time Acrobatic Maneuver resets Abdel Adrian, the resulting mass exodus triggers Warden of the Eye upon its return to handily reclaim Acrobatic Maneuver from your graveyard. Because Abdel Adrian's exile trigger lets you gobble up your own mana sources right alongside Warden of the Eye, you can tap those permanents for mana before they vanish into exile to continuously recast Acrobatic Maneuver, drawing your entire deck in the process.
