Prerequisites

You control an additional creature. An additional creature does not have summoning sickness. Bear Umbra attached to that additional creature you control. You control lands that can tap to produce at least {3}{R}{R}. An opponent is unable to block and kill creatures you control.

Steps

  1. Declare enchanted creature as attacker.
  2. Bear Umbra triggers, untapping all lands you control.
  3. Proceed to your next main phase.
  4. Activate Aggravated Assault by paying {3}{R}{R}, untapping all creatures you control and getting an additional combat and main phase after this one.
  5. Repeat.

How to execute this combo

The "Aggravated Assault + Bear Umbra" combo takes 5 steps in order. Make sure you have the mana open and permanents listed in the prerequisites before you start — opponents can respond between steps.

The end result: Infinite combat phases.

Practice the line offline: lay out the cards, walk through each step, and note where you can lose the combo (summoning sickness, lack of priority, removal on a key permanent). In game, announce each step clearly; in casual play you can offer to shortcut after demonstrating the loop.

The best window is a turn when opponents are tapped out or after they commit a spell — hold protection (a counter, Vexing Shusher) if the combo wins on the spot.
