How it works

  1. Activate Ant Queen by paying 1G mana, creating a 1/1 Soldier and a 1/1 Insect creature token.
  2. Activate the Insect and Soldier by tapping them, adding 1G mana.
  3. Repeat

This clever engine turns a pair of bugs into a self-sustaining swarm by leveraging Cryptolith Rite, which grants your creatures the ability to tap for mana. Once Frostcliff Siege gives your entire army haste, you can use the mana from tapping your new arrivals to fuel Ant Queen's activation, which—thanks to Queen Allenal of Ruadach's replacement effect—generates both an Insect and a Soldier token simultaneously. Because the tokens enter untapped and ready to tap for mana right away, you can loop this process indefinitely to flood the board with infinite creature enters-the-battlefield triggers and a massive, trampling army.
