Ghouls' Night Out does the heavy lifting: it reanimates Eternal Witness to recover itself, plus two creatures from opponents' yards to feed Phyrexian Altar. Headless Rider turns each sacrifice into a 2/2 Zombie token, and two of those tokens pay back enough mana to recast Ghouls' Night Out next iteration. The combo runs through a sorcery, so it needs a clear path to resolution — any counter or Eternal Witness getting removed on entry collapses the loop immediately.

How it works

Prerequisites

At least two of your opponents have a creature card in their graveyard.

Steps

Cast Ghouls' Night Out by paying , returning Eternal Witness from your graveyard to the battlefield, and at least two other creatures from your opponents' graveyards to the battlefield under your control.
When Eternal Witness enters the battlefield, it triggers, returning Ghouls' Night Out from your graveyard to your hand.
Activate Phyrexian Altar three times by sacrificing Eternal Witness and the two creatures your opponents own, adding .
When the three creatures die, Headless Rider triggers three times, creating three 2/2 Zombie creature tokens.
Activate Phyrexian Altar twice by sacrificing two Zombies, adding .
Repeat.

Result

Infinite colored mana; Infinite creature tokens; Infinite death triggers; Infinite ETB; Infinite LTB; Infinite magecraft triggers; Infinite sacrifice triggers; Infinite storm count

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

The combo demands opponents have creatures in their graveyards, so expect it to stall against graveyard-light tables or after a Bojuka Bog hits. Substitute Imperial Recruiter or Diabolic Intent as tutors to assemble the four pieces faster. Once the loop is running, a sacrifice-payoff closer like Zulaport Cutthroat or Blood Artist riding the infinite death triggers ends the game without needing an additional setup card.
