How to execute it
- Cast Illusionist's Stratagem by paying its mana cost, blinking Abdel Adrian and causing you to draw a card.
- Abdel Adrian leaves and re-enters the battlefield, causing all cards exiled with it to be returned to the battlefield. Abdel Adrian and Repository Skaab's exploit ability trigger.
- Resolve the Repository Skaab trigger, exploiting another creature and triggering its second ability.
- Holding priority, activate any number of permanents by tapping them, adding at least [cost].
- Resolve the Repository Skaab trigger, returning Illusionist's Stratagem from your graveyard to your hand.
- Resolve the Abdel Adrian trigger, exiling the mana producing permanent(s) and Repository Skaab and creating that many 1/1 Soldier creature tokens.
- Repeat.
