How it works

  1. Activate Food Chain by exiling another creature you control, adding an amount of mana equal to the creatures mana value plus one that can only be spent to cast creature spells.
  2. Dour Port-Mage triggers, causing you to draw a card.
  3. The Locust God triggers, creating a 1/1 Insect creature token.
  4. Repeat.

By feeding creatures into **Food Chain**, you generate the creature-only mana needed to continuously recast your threats, while its permanent exile effect cleverly bypasses the battlefield so **Dour Port-Mage**'s triggered ability recognizes the departure without a death event. That disappearing act has **Dour Port-Mage** drawing you a card on each iteration, which in turn wakes up **The Locust God** to flood the board with hasty Insect tokens. Because those tokens and recast creatures can be continually sacrificed back to **Food Chain**, the loop feeds itself into an unstoppable engine of card draw, mana, and swarming flyers.
