Pitiless Plunderer + Ashnod's Altar + Eternal Witness + Doomed Necromancer + Gimli's Reckless Might
5-card combo · BRG
Verdict
Yes — this 5-card loop generates infinite death and ETB triggers in a Jund shell, though Gimli's Reckless Might is here only as the kill condition, not part of the engine itself.

Ashnod's Altar sacrifices Eternal Witness for two colorless; Pitiless Plunderer converts that death into a Treasure, which pays for Doomed Necromancer's activation. Necromancer returns Eternal Witness, Witness returns Necromancer to hand, and a second Plunderer Treasure covers the recast cost — netting infinite loops through all five pieces in any Jund sacrifice deck running a death-trigger payoff package.

Variations
Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines
Altar of Dementia or Disciple of the Vault can replace Gimli's Reckless Might as the kill condition if the Treasure-to-damage line feels too narrow. Yawgmoth, Thran Physician or Zulaport Cutthroat slots cleanly into the payoff role — anything that converts infinite deaths into a win closes this loop the same way.
