CEDH decks exploit this by dropping stax pieces, like Magus of the Moon and Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, but you could also cheat in big bruisers like Captain of the Watch
Ability costs can include ink (paid by exerting cards in your inkwell), exerted cards (paid by, well, exerting cards) or something else explained on the card itself

Also, for an additional cost of one of each mana type, you may untap all attacking creatures, giving them trample, lifelink, and haste until the end of the turn, and trigger another combat phase
