3-card combo · UBRG

Skullclamp kills any 1-toughness creature and replaces it with 2 cards; The Locust God answers those 2 draws by generating two 1/1 Insect tokens, both of which are themselves Skullclamp fodder. Cadaverous Bloom converts the hand cards being exiled into near-infinite black or green mana, funding whatever kill the deck runs. This is a natural fit for The Locust God as commander, where the engine pieces slot into a draw-heavy shell that already wants Skullclamp.

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Ashnod's Altar or Phyrexian Altar can replace Cadaverous Bloom as the mana engine if the exile cost is a liability, though both lose the black-or-green flexibility. The loop doesn't kill on its own — Goblin Bombardment, Impact Tremors, or Altar of the Brood closes it cleanly with the token flood.
