Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward | Yannik, Scavenging Sentinel | Lumbering Battlement

Cards

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

Lumbering Battlement must be exiled by
Yannik, and
Abdel Adrian must begin in hand.
(This starting order is not fixed, and their initial positions may be interchanged as necessary.).

Cast
Abdel Adrian for its mana cost.
When
Abdel Adrian enters, it exiles
Yannik until
Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield. Resolve any additional effects of
Abdel Adrian's ETB.
When
Yannik leaves the battlefield,
Lumbering Battlement is returned from exile to the battlefield.
When
Lumbering Battlement enters, it exiles
Abdel Adrian until
Lumbering Battlement leaves the battlefield. Resolve any additional effects of
Lumbering Battlement's ETB.
When
Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield,
Yannik is returned from exile to the battlefield.
When
Yannik enters, it exiles
Lumbering Battlement until
Yannik leaves the battlefield. Resolve any additional effects of
Yannik's ETB.
When
Lumbering Battlement leaves the battlefield,
Abdel Adrian 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).
