Cryptolith Rite + Ant Queen + Mondrak, Glory Dominus + Tannuk, Steadfast Second

Cryptolith Rite

Ant Queen

Mondrak, Glory Dominus

Tannuk, Steadfast Second

How it works

1. Activate Ant Queen by paying 1, creating two 1/1 Insect creature tokens.
2. Activate two Insects by tapping them, adding 1.
3. Repeat

This lively swarm is fueled by Cryptolith Rite, which grants your creatures the ability to tap for mana so they can instantly pay for the activation costs of Ant Queen. Because Mondrak, Glory Dominus doubles every token your queen spawns, you end up generating twice as many insects as you invest mana into, netting a surplus of bodies every single cycle. Meanwhile, Tannuk, Steadfast Second ensures that these newly minted tokens hit the board with haste—though their primary role here is standing ready to feed the Rite's mana network right away.
