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. Rising of the Day grants Doomed Necromancer haste, which is the single prerequisite the loop can't function without — without it, the Necromancer enters tapped and the chain stalls immediately.

Variations
Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines
Swiftfoot Boots or Lightning Greaves can replace Rising of the Day as the haste enabler if enchantments are a liability. The loop produces no direct damage on its own — close with Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, or Purphoros, God of the Forge to convert the infinite death and ETB triggers into a kill.
