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. Samut, Voice of Dissent is the enabler that gives Doomed Necromancer haste the moment it enters, preventing the one-turn activation delay that would otherwise stall the loop cold.

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Swapping Ashnod's Altar for Phyrexian Altar tightens the mana math if the colorless float matters less than board presence. The loop produces no direct damage or card advantage on its own — Zulaport Cutthroat, Blood Artist, or Altar of Dementia converts the infinite death triggers into a table kill; without a drain or mill outlet assembled before the loop starts, the engine spins indefinitely and accomplishes nothing.
