How it works

You control at least two additional nontoken creatures, one of which has a coin counter on it.

Activate Phyrexian Altar by sacrificing the creature with a coin counter on it.
When the creature dies, Resourceful Defense and Athreos trigger.
Resolve the Resourceful Defense trigger, putting a coin counter on another nontoken creature you control.
Resolve the Athreos trigger, returning the creature that died in step 1 from your graveyard to the battlefield.
Repeat.
