Steps
How does this combo work?
1 | Cast Illusionist's Stratagem by paying its mana cost, blinking Abdel Adrian. |
2 | Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield, returning Skullwinder and all other cards that were exiled with it to the battlefield. |
3 | Abdel Adrian and Skullwinder trigger. |
4 | Resolve the Skullwinder 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. |

7 | Repeat. |
