Cryptolith Rite + Ant Queen + Mondrak, Glory Dominus + Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu

Cryptolith Rite

Ant Queen

Mondrak, Glory Dominus

Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu

How it works

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

This brilliant synergy transforms a simple bug-breeding operation into an endless swarm, anchored by Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu to let your fresh bodies tap immediately without summoning sickness. Cryptolith Rite grants your creature tokens the ability to tap for mana, paying right back into the engine, while Mondrak, Glory Dominus doubles your output by generating twice as many tokens whenever Ant Queen's ability resolves. Because Ant Queen's activation cost of `{1}{G}` is fully covered by the mana produced from tapping the resulting token pair, you can cycle this loop indefinitely to flood the board with an unstoppable army of tapped insects.
