Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward | Worldgorger Dragon | Glorious Protector

Cards

All permanents in hand or on the battlefield or in exile (Exiled by the creature on the battlefield).

Glorious Protector must be exiled by
Abdel Adrian, and
Worldgorger Dragon must begin in hand.
(This starting order is not fixed, and their initial positions may be interchanged as necessary.).

Cast
Worldgorger Dragon for its mana cost.
When
Worldgorger Dragon enters, it exiles
Abdel Adrian until
Worldgorger Dragon leaves the battlefield. Resolve any additional effects of
Worldgorger Dragon's ETB.
When
Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield,
Glorious Protector is returned from exile to the battlefield.
When
Glorious Protector enters, it exiles
Worldgorger Dragon until
Glorious Protector leaves the battlefield. Resolve any additional effects of
Glorious Protector's ETB.
When
Worldgorger Dragon leaves the battlefield,
Abdel Adrian is returned from exile to the battlefield.
When
Abdel Adrian enters, it exiles
Glorious Protector until
Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield. Resolve any additional effects of
Abdel Adrian's ETB.
When
Glorious Protector leaves the battlefield,
Worldgorger Dragon is returned from exile to the battlefield.
Repeat from step 2.

Due to differences in card templating between the various banisher effects (linked triggered abilities vs "until" clause), steps 3, 5, and 7 may return the creature to the battlefield during the resolution of the preceding step rather than creating a separate event. This should not affect the overall execution of the combo, only how many objects pass through the stack (and thus rounds of priority available per loop).
