Ashnod's Altar sacrifices Eternal Witness for two colorless; Pitiless Plunderer converts each death into a Treasure, and those Treasures pay for Doomed Necromancer's activation and recast cost. Anger in the graveyard with a Mountain in play is the hidden load-bearing piece — Doomed Necromancer needs haste to activate the same turn it enters, so without Anger this loop stalls until the next untap step.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Swiftfoot Boots or Lightning Greaves can replace Anger's haste requirement, though they add a sixth piece to an already five-card combo. Chatterstorm, Impact Tremors, or Altar of Dementia are the natural closers here — the loop produces no damage on its own, so pair it with anything that converts ETBs or death triggers into a win.
