Cryptolith Rite + Ant Queen + Chatterfang, Squirrel General + Purphoros, Bronze-Blooded
How it works
- Activate Ant Queen by paying 1, creating two creature tokens.
- Activate the creature tokens by tapping them, adding 1.
- Repeat
This clever loop is fueled by Cryptolith Rite, which grants your creatures the vital tap ability to produce the mana needed to keep Ant Queen's activation cost perpetually covered. As the Ant Queen pumps out tokens, Chatterfang, Squirrel General steps in with its replacement effect to double your production by creating an equal number of Squirrel tokens alongside every Insect. With your entire swarm immediately tapped for mana via Cryptolith Rite, you can cycle this sequence infinitely to flood the board. Meanwhile, Purphoros, Bronze-Blooded sits comfortably as a non-creature enchantment (unless your red devotion is high enough) while generously giving all those newly minted tokens haste, as well as offering an alternate way to cheat big threats into play if you need them.
