Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward + Against All Odds + Warden of the Eye

Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward

Against All Odds

Warden of the Eye

How it works

1. Cast Against All Odds 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 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 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 clever loop relies on Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward cycling continuously in and out of exile to fuel an engine of relentless value. By using Against All Odds to blink Abdel Adrian, you trigger his ability to swallow your own permanents whole—most importantly Warden of the Eye—which immediately returns Against All Odds right back to your hand for the next iteration. As these pieces flicker back and forth, Warden of the Eye does the heavy lifting by retrieving your key spells from the graveyard while Abdel generates an endless army of Soldier tokens and triggers.
