Cryptolith Rite + Ant Queen + Maelstrom Wanderer + Quina, Qu Gourmet

Cryptolith Rite

Ant Queen

Maelstrom Wanderer

Quina, Qu Gourmet

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 delightful loop turns a simple hive into an unstoppable swarm by turning your tokens into self-sustaining mana sources. Thanks to Cryptolith Rite, every creature you control gains the ability to tap for mana, while Maelstrom Wanderer ensures they can do so the moment they arrive without waiting to shake off summoning sickness. Ant Queen pays for her own brood when fueled by that tapped army, and because Quina, Qu Gourmet triggers alongside them to double your production into a massive web of insects and frogs, you generate an absolute surplus of mana and bodies with every iteration.
