Ashnod's Altar cashes out Eternal Witness for two colorless; Pitiless Plunderer converts each death into a Treasure, and that Treasure pays the black mana Doomed Necromancer needs to activate. Eternal Witness returns from the grave via Doomed Necromancer, then returns Doomed Necromancer to hand, and recasting it for 2B restarts the loop — Tannuk, Steadfast Second sits in the command zone as the commander enabling the line.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Phyrexian Altar can substitute for Ashnod's Altar, producing black directly and cutting out the Treasure step from Pitiless Plunderer at the cost of a narrower mana type. The loop produces infinite storm count and triggers but no damage or card advantage on its own — close with Purphoros, God of the Forge off the Eternal Witness ETBs, or Altar of Dementia to mill the table with the sacrifice triggers.
