Jaheira, Friend of the Forest + Ant Queen + Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation // Temple of Civilization + Tannuk, Steadfast Second
How it works
- Activate Ant Queen by paying 1, creating three 1/1 Insect creature tokens.
- Activate two Insects by tapping them, adding .
- Repeat
This delightful loop relies on Jaheira, Friend of the Forest to turn your battlefield into a lush resource by granting every token you control the ability to tap for green mana. With Ant Queen ready to churn out bodies for a modest investment, Jaheira’s mana generation allows you to pay for the Queen's ability and still come out ahead. Meanwhile, Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation supercharges the engine by tripling every insect token you create, turning a single activation into a massive horde that easily pays for itself and then some. Even though Tannuk, Steadfast Second and its haste-granting and warp abilities aren't strictly required to keep the mana-positive loop spinning, they ensure your exponentially multiplying army is ready to overwhelm opponents the moment they hit the board.
