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 clever loop transforms Ant Queen into a self-sustaining token generator by using Concordant Crossroads to grant haste, allowing your newly minted bugs to tap immediately for mana through Cryptolith Rite. With those two active pieces providing the necessary speed and fuel, Ant Queen's activation cost is completely covered by the tokens themselves. Meanwhile, Queen Allenal of Ruadach quietly supercharges the whole operation by doubling your output—turning every single Ant Queen activation into both an Insect and an extra 1/1 Soldier token, which in turn fuels the rite and grows Queen Allenal of Ruadach into an infinitely large threat.
