Dimir Pirates by user2958105

Format: Commander

Commander: Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator and Francisco, Fowl Marauder

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Malcolm and Francisco form a low-to-the-ground Pirate tempo deck that turns early evasive damage into Treasures, card draw, and Francisco explores. The primary plan is to flood the board with cheap Pirates, attack each turn, and convert the resulting Treasure tokens into either a Time Sieve extra-turn loop or a large Haunted One / undying combat swing. Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator is the engine face; Francisco is a supporting payoff that grows from explores. The deck also carries a dense counterspell suite and a few tutors to find the combo pieces. It wins through incremental commander damage or by chaining extra turns with Time Sieve.
