Ashnod's Altar sacrifices Eternal Witness for two colorless; Pitiless Plunderer converts each death into a Treasure, and that Treasure pays the black activation cost to fire Doomed Necromancer. Eternal Witness returns Doomed Necromancer to hand on entry, and Samut, Tyrant Smasher gives Doomed Necromancer haste so it can activate the same turn it's cast, keeping the loop uninterrupted.

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

The loop needs a kill condition — Mayhem Devil, Blood Artist, or Zulaport Cutthroat all convert the infinite death triggers into a win at instant speed. Tapping Doomed Necromancer and then sacrificing it leaves the combo exposed to removal at two distinct points in the loop; the five-piece assembly also means any single-piece answer from a blue player can strand the rest of the hand.
