Ashnod's Altar sacrifices Eternal Witness for two colorless; Pitiless Plunderer converts each death into a Treasure, which funds Doomed Necromancer's activation to reanimate Eternal Witness, which in turn returns Doomed Necromancer to hand. Urabrask the Hidden is the linchpin that makes it loop cleanly — creatures entering hasted means Doomed Necromancer can tap and sacrifice immediately rather than waiting a full rotation under summoning sickness.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

02

Steps

  1. Activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing Eternal Witness, adding {C}{C}.
  2. When Eternal Witness dies, Pitiless Plunderer triggers, creating a Treasure artifact token.
  3. Activate the Treasure by tapping and sacrificing it, adding {B}.
  4. Activate Doomed Necromancer by paying {B}, tapping it and sacrificing it.
  5. When Doomed Necromancer dies, Pitiless Plunderer triggers, creating a Treasure artifact token.
  6. Resolve the Doomed Necromancer ability, returning Eternal Witness from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  7. When Eternal Witness enters the battlefield, it triggers, returning Doomed Necromancer from your graveyard to your hand.
  8. Activate a Treasure by tapping and sacrificing it, adding {B}.
  9. Cast Doomed Necromancer by paying {2}{B}.
  10. Repeat.

Result

Infinite death triggers; Infinite ETB; Infinite LTB; Infinite sacrifice triggers; Infinite storm count

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Swapping Doomed Necromancer for Apprentice Necromancer cuts the reanimation cost to one black mana and one colorless, tightening the mana math. The loop generates no direct damage on its own, so pair it with Zulaport Cutthroat or Impact Tremors as the kill — both trigger on every death or ETB the loop produces.
