Commander Spellbook ↗How it works
Before you start
An opponent cannot block and kill creatures you control.
Steps
Declare the creature that has Infantry Shield attached as an attacker. The creature triggers, creating a number of 1/1 Warrior creature tokens that are tapped and attacking equal to the creature's power. During your postcombat main phase, activate Phyrexian Altar five times by sacrificing five Warriors, adding {3}{R}{R}. Activate Aggravated Assault by paying {3}{R}{R}, causing you to untap all creatures you control and to get an additional combat and main phase after this one. Repeat.
