abdel etb normal by blott12

Format: Commander

Commander: Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward and Candlekeep Sage

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Abdel Adrian plus Candlekeep Sage is a blink/token engine. Abdel's exile trigger manufactures Soldier tokens while Candlekeep turns every enter/leave into card draw. The deck accelerates value with ETB creatures, then converts an endless Abdel-flicker loop-Archaeomancer returning an instant flicker and Cloud of Faeries/Peregrine Drake untapping lands-into arbitrarily many Soldier tokens. Secondary wins come from token pumps (Cathars' Crusade, Intangible Virtue) and mass finishers (Akroma's Will, Moonshaker Cavalry, Finale of Glory). Blink instants and repeatable flicker permanents double as protection for Abdel. It is a fragile engine: almost every plan depends on keeping Abdel on the battlefield.
