Format: Commander

Commander: Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator and Kediss, Emberclaw Familiar

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Malcolm and Kediss form a Pirate-treasure engine: Malcolm makes a Treasure every time Pirates damage opponents, while Kediss takes one commander's combat hit and spreads it to all opponents, turning a single Malcolm attack into three Treasures and widespread life loss. The deck is built around Malcolm's face, with Kediss as the multiplier. It uses evasion, Pirate synergies (Breeches variants, Captain Storm, Gemcutter Buccaneer) and artifact mana (KCI, Sol Ring) to pump Malcolm into a one-swing finisher. Breeches, Eager Pillager acts as a hidden commander, adding first strike, extra Treasures, and card advantage.
