This elegant looping engine turns a humble gravedigger into an infinite cycle of life and death, fueled entirely by the clever synergy between Ashnod's Altar and Pitiless Plunderer. When you sacrifice Eternal Witness to the Altar, the Plunderer turns that sacrifice into a Treasure token, which provides the black mana needed to activate Doomed Necromancer's reanimation ability. Bringing back Eternal Witness triggers its enters-the-battlefield ability to hand back the very same Doomed Necromancer you just sacrificed, while Maelstrom Wanderer grants your hastily returned necromancer the swiftness it needs to keep the loop going without waiting for summoning sickness.
