Oracle text
When Abdel Adrian enters, exile any number of other nonland permanents you control until Abdel Adrian leaves the battlefield. Create a 1/1 white Soldier creature token for each permanent exiled this way.
Choose a Background (You can have a Background as a second commander.)
Mox strategy
Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward excels in protecting your key permanents by temporarily exiling them upon entry, then replacing them with Soldier tokens, enabling resilience against board wipes or targeted removal. Best used in decks focusing on value creatures or artifacts that benefit from entering and leaving the battlefield repeatedly. Synergizes well with blink effects (like Flickerwisp, Restoration Angel) to reuse Abdel’s exile and token creation, and with Background commanders for added consistency and synergy. Enables mechanical plays around saving board presence and token generation for chump blocking or token strategies. Optimal in midrange or control decks leveraging white's protective tools.
