I got the idea discussing how Ammit Eternal could become broken quickly if used right. After some tinkering, realized what I really wanted to do was get -1/-1 counters to trigger Nest of Scarabs and Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons, and then use Cryptolith Rite for mana, hoping to cast Torment of Hailfire for x=10 or more.

Thoughts appreciated.
