Cards

When
Kinsbaile Borderguard dies, its last ability triggers, creating three Kithkin Soldier tokens that each enter with a vigilance counter due to
Tayam.
Activate
Tayam by paying and removing three vigilance counters from creatures you control, milling yourself three cards and returning
Kinsbaile Borderguard from your graveyard to the battlefield.
Kinsbaile Borderguard enters with a vigilance counter due to
Tayam and at least three +1/+1 counters due to its first ability.
Activate
Ashnod's Altar twice by sacrificing a Kithkin Soldier and
Kinsbaile Borderguard, adding .
When
Kinsbaile Borderguard dies, its last ability triggers, creating four Kithkin Soldier tokens that each enter with a vigilance counter due to
Tayam.

This order of operations and the starting mana are necessary because you must activate mana abilities like
Ashnod's Altar's before paying the counter removal cost.
