Cryptolith Rite + Ant Queen + Hammer of Purphoros + Quina, Qu Gourmet

Cryptolith Rite

Ant Queen

Hammer of Purphoros

Quina, Qu Gourmet

How it works

1. Activate Ant Queen by paying 1, creating two creature tokens.
2. Activate the creature tokens by tapping them, adding 1.
3. Repeat

This delightful swarm engine feeds on itself by leveraging Quina, Qu Gourmet's replacement effect to double up your token generation every time you activate Ant Queen, turning a single investment into a growing army. Thanks to Cryptolith Rite granting every newly hatched insect and frog the ability to tap for mana, your token makers can immediately fund the Queen's activation cost to keep the loop going indefinitely. Meanwhile, Hammer of Purphoros ensures that the resulting horde arrives ready for action with haste, letting you overwhelm your opponents the very moment the loop achieves critical mass.
