Deck overview

This deck is a high-speed cEDH combo deck built around Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator and Vial Smasher the Fierce. Its primary game plan is assembling an infinite damage loop on Turn 3. The engine uses Malcolm alongside an artifact pinger such as Reckless Fireweaver or Ingenious Artillerist. By casting a low-cost type-changing spell like Artificial Evolution or Trickery Charm, the pinger becomes a Pirate. Any artifact entering the battlefield causes the pinger to deal damage to all opponents, which triggers Malcolm to create three Treasures. Those Treasures enter and re-trigger the pinger, infinitely burning the table. Supported by premier fast mana, cheap tutors, and a dense suite of free countermagic, the deck can threaten protected early wins or pivot into a massive Ad Nauseam burst.
