3 | Abdel Adrian and Scholar of the Ages trigger. |
4 | Resolve the Scholar of the Ages 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. |
