Ashnod's Altar sacrifices Eternal Witness for two colorless; Pitiless Plunderer converts each death into a Treasure, and that black mana pays for Doomed Necromancer's activation to retrieve Eternal Witness, which then returns Doomed Necromancer to hand on entry. Lavaleaper's role is granting Doomed Necromancer haste — without it, Doomed Necromancer sits tapped until the next turn and the loop doesn't close in a single turn cycle.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Any haste-granter that hits Doomed Necromancer covers Lavaleaper's slot — Swiftfoot Boots and Lightning Greaves are the obvious replacements, but Fires of Yavimaya and Concordant Crossroads work if the deck already runs them. The loop produces no mana net, so pair it with Zulaport Cutthroat, Blood Artist, or Mayhem Devil to convert the infinite death triggers into a table kill; the engine alone does nothing without a damage sink.
