Ashnod's Altar kills Eternal Witness for two colorless; Pitiless Plunderer converts every death into a Treasure, which funds Doomed Necromancer's activation to reanimate Eternal Witness, which in turn retrieves Doomed Necromancer to hand. Mass Hysteria is the fulcrum — Doomed Necromancer needs haste to activate the turn it enters, so without it the loop stalls on a summoning-sick Necromancer every cycle.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Any haste enabler replaces Mass Hysteria — Swiftfoot Boots and Lightning Greaves both work, though they require equipping rather than sitting passively. The loop produces no mana net, so pair it with Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, or Mayhem Devil to convert the infinite death triggers into a kill; the engine loops cleanly, the win condition is your call.
