Carrion Feeder + Drivnod, Carnage Dominus + Pitiless Plunderer + Reassembling Skeleton
Overview
If you sacrifice Reassembling Skeleton to Carrion Feeder, the Skeleton is put into your graveyard (it “dies”), causing Pitiless Plunderer’s death-trigger to trigger — and Drivnod, Carnage Dominus causes that triggered ability to trigger an additional time, so you get two Treasure tokens for that one death while Carrion Feeder’s activated ability only puts one +1/+1 counter on itself; the Skeleton’s graveyard ability (
) can then be activated to return it and you can repeat the loop. [Ruling 2023-02-04] [Ruling 2018-01-19]

You activate Carrion Feeder’s activated ability and pay costs — as part of the cost you sacrifice Reassembling Skeleton, putting it into your graveyard (it has now 'died').
Step 2
That death is an event that causes triggered abilities reading 'Whenever another creature you control dies' (Pitiless Plunderer) to trigger; Drivnod’s static ability causes each such triggered ability that was caused by that death to trigger an additional time.

Step 3
Carrion Feeder’s activated ability is an activated ability you paid the cost for, so when it resolves it puts one +1/+1 counter on Carrion Feeder (the activated ability itself is not doubled by Drivnod). [Ruling 2023-02-04]
Step 4
Pitiless Plunderer’s triggered ability (now present twice because of Drivnod) will be put onto the stack as triggered abilities; when each resolves you create one Treasure token for each instance (so two Treasures total from that one death). [Ruling 2023-02-04]
Step 5
Later, you may pay Reassembling Skeleton’s activated ability in the graveyard to return it to the battlefield tapped and then repeat the sacrifice to generate more Treasures and counters (Drivnod will continue to double the death-triggered triggers while it remains on the battlefield).

Sacrificing Reassembling Skeleton as the cost for Carrion Feeder’s activated ability moves the Skeleton from the battlefield to the graveyard (it “dies”), which causes Pitiless Plunderer’s triggered ability to trigger; Drivnod makes that triggered ability trigger an additional time, so you create two Treasure tokens for that one death, while Carrion Feeder’s sacrifice ability resolves only once and gives it one +1/+1 counter. You may then pay Reassembling Skeleton’s activated ability from the graveyard to return it tapped and repeat the process as desired. [Ruling 2023-02-04] [Ruling 2018-01-19]
