Overview:

A high-powered Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator and Kediss, Emberclaw Familiar partner deck focused on generating infinite mana through combat damage triggers and winning through various combo lines, primarily utilizing Malcolm's Treasure generation ability.

Primer:

The deck's primary strategy revolves around using Malcolm's Treasure-generating ability combined with Kediss's damage reflection to create infinite mana through combat damage. The deck can accomplish this as early as turn 2-3 with the right pieces. Key combo pieces include cards that can make Malcolm deal at least 3 damage (Wings of Velis Vel, Combat Research) which, when combined with Kediss, creates enough Treasures to continue the combo chain.

The deck features multiple backup plans and protection pieces, including a strong counterspell suite and artifact-based acceleration. Once infinite mana is generated, the deck can win through various outlets including Niv-Mizzet, Parun, Brain Freeze storm chains, or commander damage. The deck maintains consistency through numerous tutors and card draw effects, while protecting its gameplan with free counterspells and interaction.

Weaknesses:

The deck is somewhat vulnerable to creature removal targeting Malcolm or Kediss at critical moments. Artifact hate can significantly slow down the deck's acceleration and combo potential. Graveyard hate can limit some of the recursion-based lines, and the deck can struggle if forced into a prolonged game where it can't assemble its key pieces.

Attribute Ratings:

• Speed: 8/10
• Resilience: 7/10
• Consistency: 8/10
• Interaction: 8/10

Rating Justification:

This deck consistently threatens wins or establishes strong board control by turns 3-4, placing it firmly in the high-power category. The combination of fast mana, efficient tutors, and strong protection suite allows it to execute its gameplan reliably while maintaining interaction. While it doesn't quite reach the consistency levels of top-tier cEDH decks, it can certainly compete at high-powered tables and occasionally punch above its weight class. The deck's ability to generate infinite mana and protect its combos while maintaining card advantage puts it above typical focused competitive decks but below optimized cEDH builds.

Final power level rating: 8.0 - 8.5
