How it works

  1. At the beginning of your combat phase, Valduk triggers, creating at least seven 3/1 Elemental creature tokens with trample and haste.
  2. Declare Hellkite Charger as an attacker, triggering its ability.
  3. Holding priority, activate Phyrexian Altar seven times by sacrificing seven Elementals, adding 5R manaR mana.
  4. Resolve the Hellkite Charger trigger, causing you to pay 5R manaR mana to untap all attacking creatures you control and causing you to get an additional combat phase after this one.
  5. Repeat each combat phase.
  6. If Valduk has at least eight Auras and/or Equipments attached to it, this combo nets infinite Elemental tokens and colored mana.

This fiery sequence turns Valduk, Keeper of the Flame into an absolute token factory, churning out a fresh horde of Elementals at the start of every single combat step thanks to the Auras and Equipments strapped to him. As soon as you declare Hellkite Charger as an attacker, its triggered ability gives you the chance to force an extra combat phase—if you can foot the heavy mana bill. That’s where Phyrexian Altar steps in, letting you neatly convert the freshly minted Elemental tokens into the exact red and colorless mana needed to pay for the Charger's extra combat cost. Repeat the cycle for an unstoppable, infinite swarm of trampling attackers!
