Ashnod's Altar sacrifices Eternal Witness for two colorless; Pitiless Plunderer converts each creature death into a Treasure, which funds Doomed Necromancer's activation. Eternal Witness recurs Doomed Necromancer to hand, Hammer of Purphoros gives it haste so it can tap and sacrifice immediately rather than waiting a full turn — that last piece is the glue the loop depends on.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Swiftfoot Boots or Lightning Greaves replace Hammer of Purphoros if the enchantment is a removal target, though neither produces the incidental haste effect for other creatures. The loop nets no mana by default, so pair it with Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, or Mayhem Devil as the kill — infinite death triggers do nothing without a damage outlet in play.
