Steps
How does this combo work?

2 | Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield, returning Archaeomancer and all other cards that were exiled with it to the battlefield. |
3 | Abdel Adrian and Archaeomancer trigger. |
4 | Resolve the Archaeomancer trigger, returning Illusionist's Stratagem from your graveyard to your hand. |
5 | Holding priority, activate any number of nonland permanents you control by tapping them, adding at least enough mana to cast Illusionist's Stratagem. |
