Color Identity: W

Initial Card State

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

Easy Prerequisites

  1. All-Fates Stalker must be exiled by Glorious Protector, and Abdel Adrian must begin in hand.
  2. (This starting order is not fixed, and their initial positions may be interchanged as necessary.).

Mana Needed

  1. zero mana plus the mana cost of the creature in your hand available.

Steps

  1. Cast Abdel Adrian for its mana cost.
  2. When Abdel Adrian enters, it exiles Glorious Protector until Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield. Resolve any additional effects of Abdel Adrian's ETB.
  3. When Glorious Protector leaves the battlefield, All-Fates Stalker is returned from exile to the battlefield.
  4. When All-Fates Stalker enters, it exiles Abdel Adrian until All-Fates Stalker leaves the battlefield. Resolve any additional effects of All-Fates Stalker's ETB.
  5. When Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield, Glorious Protector is returned from exile to the battlefield.
  6. When Glorious Protector enters, it exiles All-Fates Stalker until Glorious Protector leaves the battlefield. Resolve any additional effects of Glorious Protector's ETB.
  7. When All-Fates Stalker leaves the battlefield, Abdel Adrian is returned from exile to the battlefield.
  8. Repeat from step 2.

Notes

  1. 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).

Results

  1. Infinite blinking of nonland permanents.
  2. Infinite creature ETB.
  3. Infinite creature LTB.
  4. Infinite creature tokens.
