Mountain is Kaalia of the Vast

Attack with Kaalia, put out Hellkite Charger, and recreate the attack, putting out any dragon, angel, or demon you like. Rinse and repeat for the amount of mana you have.

It's a funny thing about Kaalia's ability, because the cards are "put into play, tapped and attacking", they don't trigger "when this creature attacks" abilities. So if you used her ability to put in Rakdos the Defiler, you wouldn't have to sacrifice non-demon permanents until the next time you declared him as an attacker.

So, basically, that wouldn't work the way you described it.

Yeah... The hellkite charger's attack trigger doesn't happen when it's put into the battlefield already attacking.

I wouldn't see why it wouldn't work.

Hellkite Charger's ability triggers when he's 'Declared as an attacker'.  Because of this if he is made to be attacking trough the resolution of Kaalia's ability we'll have already passed the point of 'declaring attackers'.  Things trigger when declared as attackers in much the same way triggers go on the stack at the 'Beginning of the Upkeep'.  Once we pass the point it would trigger we won't have the opportunity to do it again until next turn.  If it feels unintutive think of it like this...

Your legend is attacking and screams her battle cry (imagine that as her trigger) as she rushes forward.  You see her rushing forward alone and blink your eyes and now she's running with a dragon overhead!  There was never a point where the dragon started rushing forward and screamed it's cry, it just straight up entered the action.  This is the same reason creatures with Ninjitsu will not, themselves, trigger Exalted, though the creature that did the initial attack will be able to trigger it.

if you want 5-color combo, Finest Hour gives you another combat step for attacking with Kaalia alone. then use the ability!

Finest Hour

Exalted (Whenever a creature you control attacks alone, that creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn.)
Whenever a creature you control attacks alone, if it's the first combat phase of the turn, untap that creature. After this phase, there is an additional combat phase.
