Ashnod's Altar sacrifices Eternal Witness to produce two colorless; Pitiless Plunderer converts each death into a Treasure, and that Treasure covers the black activation cost for Doomed Necromancer, which returns Eternal Witness, which returns Doomed Necromancer to hand. Cyclops of Eternal Fury is the enabler that makes the whole engine viable at instant cadence — without haste, Doomed Necromancer sits tapped and the loop stalls until the next turn. This line lives in BRG aristocrats shells built around Prossh, Skyraider of Kher or Korvold, Famine-Cursed King, where redundant death payoffs close the game the moment the loop starts.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Swiftfoot Boots or Lightning Greaves substitutes for Cyclops of Eternal Fury if haste is needed more cheaply or the Cyclops is removed — any source of haste granted to creatures entering the battlefield closes the gap. The loop produces infinite storm count and death triggers but no direct damage on its own; pair it with Zulaport Cutthroat, Blood Artist, or Mayhem Devil as the kill condition.
