Nope! Sac to altar twice, getting {4} in your mana pool, then on second time, use deathmantle to return finks to battlefield fresh.

Also if you want to wipe everything except creatures,  {Woodfall Primus} works nice.

Couldn't you use a green creature with persist and {ivy lane denizen} with some way to sacrifice the green creature, like {viscera seer}

The two keys for this combo are kinda specific.

The altar gives you the mana (by sacing the creature twice, then you use the mana to brin it back with the deathmantle. It's repeatable as long as they can't interrupt your process. (scavenging ooze eats the creature in the graveyard)  this is what makes it a combo.

To replace those pieces you need something to sac to (free or otherwise), and some repeatable way to bring the creature back.

{Kitchen Finks} sacrifice for {viscera seer} comes back with a -1/-1 counter {ivylane denizen is out green creature enters battlefield gets +1/+1 counter. The two counters counter each other out and cease to exist. Sacrifice again, persist again repeat until end of time

Ahh yes nicely done. I missed that as I wasn't thinking of just green creatures. The only other green persist creature I put up above is the woodfall primus. It severely limits the combo pieces, but it's probably legal in more formats.
