Ashnod's Altar sacrifices Eternal Witness for two colorless; Pitiless Plunderer converts each death into a Treasure, funding Doomed Necromancer's activation cost in black. Eternal Witness completes the circuit by returning Doomed Necromancer to hand on every recast, and The Fire Crystal offsets the 3-mana recasting overhead with net-positive mana across the loop.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

The combo is rigid — swapping The Fire Crystal for any other mana source breaks the math, since the loop needs exactly that floating colorless to recast Doomed Necromancer at 2B each cycle. Pair the infinite death triggers with Blood Artist or Zulaport Cutthroat as the kill; the loop produces no direct damage on its own.
