This clever loop transforms Ant Queen into a self-sustaining mana engine by turning its insect production into a profitable sacrifice. With Mass Hysteria granting your tokens immediate haste and Puresteel Paladin reducing the equip cost to zero thanks to its metalcraft ability, you can instantly attach Lotus Ring to a newly hatched bug. Tapping and sacrificing that insect to the Ring yields three mana—more than enough to pay the queen's activation cost and repeat the cycle indefinitely.
