How it works

  1. Activate Ant Queen by paying 1G mana, creating a 1/1 Insect creature token.
  2. Activate Lotus Ring's equip ability by paying 0 due to Puresteel Paladin, attaching it to the Insect.
  3. Activate the Insect by tapping and sacrificing it, adding G manaG manaG mana.
  4. Repeat.
  5. Once you have infinite mana, you may repeat step 1 as desired.

This crafty loop is made possible by Puresteel Paladin, whose metalcraft ability slashes the equip cost of Lotus Ring down to zero as long as you control enough artifacts. With that free attachment ready to go, Ant Queen provides a steady stream of bug tokens to pick up the ring, which you can immediately sacrifice to tap back into a profit of three mana. Meanwhile, Hammer of Purphoros grants all your newly minted swarm haste so they're instantly ready to join the fray.
