Ashnod's Altar kills Eternal Witness for two colorless; Pitiless Plunderer converts each death into a Treasure, and that Treasure pays the black activation on Doomed Necromancer to bring Eternal Witness back. Eternal Witness then returns Doomed Necromancer to hand, and the three mana floating from Altar plus a second Treasure covers the

recast. Barbarian Class is the linchpin that makes Doomed Necromancer enter untapped each loop — without it, the activation is a one-shot.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Doomed Necromancer is the hardest piece to replace since the loop depends on its specific tap-and-sacrifice recursion. Any commander that tutors creatures repeatedly — Karador, Ghost Chieftain or Meren of Clan Nel Toth — assembles this faster than raw card draw. The loop produces no direct damage, so pair it with Zulaport Cutthroat or Blood Artist as the kill; without a drain effect on the stack, infinite triggers end the loop without ending the game.
