How it works

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

This charming loop turns your board into a bustling hive by leveraging Jinnie Fay, Jetmir's Second, whose replacement effect turns the insect tokens from Ant Queen into speedy 2/2 Cats, while Queen Allenal of Ruadach quietly bulks up your forces (and her own stats) with bonus Soldier tokens whenever those replacements occur. Cryptolith Rite provides the engine's core economic foundation by granting your newly minted token creatures the tap ability they need to fund the Ant Queen's activation cost over and over again. By cycling mana through this loop, you can continuously churn out an endless swarm of hasty tokens and fuel an infinitely large Queen Allenal of Ruadach to overwhelm your opponents in a single combat phase.
