What cards would you run and why?

Pretty new to magic and competitive and trying to make a deck with Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward as the commander preferably with a blue background. I'm thinking of including a bunch of cards that can create an infinite loop with Adrian and trigger other cards' ETB trigger infinite times, but I feel like that could be potential countered if that is my only way of consistently winning the game so looking for other ways to win. So what cards would you run and why to make this deck strong and consistent? Like what would be the main strat to play with this deck? I asked a friend whose played magic for 11 years and he got really confused and didn't seem to understand magic that well honestly (order of stack triggers, infinite squences, and playing card during an infinite squence), so I came here.

Win cons— 1. Candlekeep Sage with Thassa's Oracle and an infinite blinking loop with Adrian and another creature.

  1. Blink loop with Meteorite or Inquisitor Exarch killing every creature

  2. Blink loop with Stonehorn Dignitary, skipping all opponents future attack phases

  3. Blink loop with Meteor Golem, boardwiping opponents

  4. Drawing my whole library with Candlekeep Sage, blink loop and playing any card from my whole deck

  5. Blink loop with prized statue for infinite treasure (But I don't know what I would do with that)

  6. All blink loops with Adrian create infinite solider tokens so either using them like sacrificing them or being able to have a couple of "all creatures have haste" spells to attack as soon as my combo comes in or something that could use a bunch of tokens, I was thinking of Indoctrination Attendant but it has the same problem of it's tokens having to wait a full turn for summoning sickness

Ideas I had would be maybe running a bunch of boardwipes and indestructible/phase instant cards so that I could clear my enemies side while all my creature would be in exile, phased or indestructible.
