How it works

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

This loop turns a simple insect hive into an engine of overwhelming population by harnessing the passive multipliers of Elspeth, Storm Slayer, whose replacement effect doubles every token born from Ant Queen into a pair instead of just one. With Cryptolith Rite granting every newly spawned token the ability to tap for mana, those doubled tokens immediately pay for the next activation of the Queen, leaving you with an ever-growing surplus of creatures. Meanwhile, Anger rests quietly in your graveyard—provided you control a Mountain—granting the entire resulting swarm haste so they are instantly ready to tap for mana or overwhelm your opponents the moment they arrive.
