Cryptolith Rite + Ant Queen + Concordant Crossroads + Quina, Qu Gourmet
How it works
- Activate Ant Queen by paying 1, creating two creature tokens.
- Activate the creature tokens by tapping them, adding 1.
- Repeat
This enchanting green loop turns a humble insect nest into a swarming ecosystem of endless life. Cryptolith Rite provides the foundational mana engine by granting every creature the ability to tap for their own sustenance, while Concordant Crossroads ensures your newly hatched forces can tap immediately without waiting for summoning sickness. Ant Queen pays for herself by spawning tokens, but she is supercharged by Quina, Qu Gourmet, whose replacement effect turns every single token generation event into a bonus 1/1 green Frog creature token alongside the original pests. By cycling those extra Frogs back into Ant Queen's activation cost and tapping the resulting board for mana, you generate an unbounded cascade of creature enters-the-battlefield triggers and a massive army of tapped tokens.
