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.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

At least 2 cards in hand or

02

Steps

  1. Activate Ant Queen creating a 1/1 token.
  2. Equip Skullclamp to the token.
  3. The token dies drawing you 2 cards.
  4. Exile both cards from your hand to gain {2}{G}{G}.
  5. Repeat.

03

Result

Infinite draw triggers; Near-infinite black mana; Near-infinite card draw; Near-infinite green mana

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

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.
