Ant Queen pays 1G to make a 1/1 Insect; Skullclamp kills it on equip and draws two cards; Cadaverous Bloom exiles both drawn cards for 2BG, netting mana as long as the hand stays stocked. The engine runs in any Golgari reanimator or big-mana shell that already wants Cadaverous Bloom as a combo enabler.

Variations

Beastmaster Ascension or Craterhoof Behemoth closes the game once tokens and mana go near-infinite — the loop floods the board but needs a finisher. Walking Ballista or Torment of Hailfire are the cleanest sinks for the Golgari mana pile the loop generates.
