My first Commander deck Basic strategy consists of using Malcom and Kediss to generate most of your mana and either using that treasure for a win con via Hellkite tyrant/Mechanised Production or via glint-horn buccaneer with Malcom for an easy 2 card infinite damage combo. Reckless Fireweaver with any number of effects that make it a pirate can also fill this role.

Tertiary Win condition is to use Hellkite Charger with Malcom for infinite battle steps, this does require having enough treasure generated per battle step which can be achieved with a combination of Goldspan Dragon, Malcom clones, and Double Strike

Magda, Brazen Outlaw can be used to tutor out any of the dragons in the deck easily, most of which either synergize with treasure or act as win conditions. The Niv-Mizzet cards can be used with ophidian will/curiosity/Tandem Lookout for another win as long as you have more cards left in your deck than your opponents have life.

Most of these cards also have reasonable synergy with each other outside of their combo pieces. Curiosity like effects with Malcom or Kediss proc once for each opponent as long as your commanders are out and in a pinch other cards in the deck have good AoE effects against multiple opponents.

Playtesting so far seems to indicate the decks biggest weakness is spot removal when Malcom first comes out which is somewhat mitigated by the various hexproof/protection equip spells in the deck
