Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward + Candlekeep Sage
Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward & Candlekeep Sage Commander Deck
Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward repeatedly blinks your own permanents to generate Soldier tokens, while Candlekeep Sage turns each of his enters and leaves triggers into card draws, fueling a consistent engine of tokens and card advantage. The deck layers this blinking strategy with cost reducers, mana doublers, and flicker effects to chain together massive value, aiming to establish infinite loops through combinations like Peregrine Drake with Deadeye Navigator for unlimited mana or Felidar Guardian with Restoration Angel for infinite enters and leaves triggers. Those infinite ETB chains typically close the game by milling opponents with Altar of the Brood or achieving a forced draw condition with Thassa's Oracle after generating enough card draws.
