Cryptolith Rite + Ant Queen + Queen Allenal of Ruadach + Purphoros, Bronze-Blooded
How it works
- Activate Ant Queen by paying 1, creating two creature tokens.
- Activate the creature tokens by tapping them, adding 1.
- Repeat
This loop turns a modest swarm into an unstoppable force by creating more mana than it costs to fuel the engine. Ant Queen does the heavy lifting by spending mana to pump out Insect tokens, but she can't do it alone; Cryptolith Rite grants all your creatures the ability to tap for mana, letting the newly spawned tokens pay for subsequent activations. Queen Allenal of Ruadach sweetens the deal by turning each individual token creation into a double-feature by adding a Soldier token alongside the Insect, which scales her own power and toughness to astronomical heights while generating extra mana. Finally, Purphoros, Bronze-Blooded sits quietly on the battlefield giving your entire army haste so that the newly created tokens can tap for mana the exact moment they enter the battlefield, completing an infinite loop that floods the board with tapped bodies and endless enters-the-battlefield triggers.
