Still figuring this format and I feel like there isn't enough documentation on how to build a deck so here is my take on a Malcom-Kediss deck:

It is a combo deck which has 4 key steps to winning.

1. Generate excessive amounts of mana with Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator and Kediss, Emberclaw Familiar to fuel your drawing and interaction

2. Control the board with counterpsells such as Counterspell, Arcane Denial, and Negate and with removal like Frogify, Into the Roil, and Kasmina's Transmutation.

3. Sort through as many cards as possible with cards like Treasure Cruise, Brainstorm, Faithless Looting, etc. and tutor for wincons with tutors like Drift of Phantasms, Dizzy Spell, Merchant Scroll. Typically the most important card is Freed from the Real

4. Set up an infinite damage combo. There are many ways to do this but all of them have the same central idea.

   • Get Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator into play.

   • Get a pirate creature with a ping ability(tap for 1 dmg) and an untap ability(pay 1 to untap).

   • The creature taps to ping a player

   • Malcom will create a treasure token because the creature is a pirate

   • Sac the treasure and use the mana to untap the creature

   • Repeat

Creature type changers(to turn a creature into a pirate): Blades of Velis Vel, Amoeboid Changeling, Wings of Velis Vel, Trickery Charm, Amorphous Axe, Runed Stalactite

Pingers: Viridian Longbow, Fire Whip, Hermetic Study, Power of Fire, Quicksilver Dagger

Untappers: Freed from the Real, Immobilizing Ink. Immobilizing Ink only works when the pinger is Quicksilver Dagger or the creature also has Ophidian Eye/Tandem Lookout equipped/soulbonded

Here is a list of possible card combinations(All of these combos need Malcolm, even if he is not listed) that go infinite:

• Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator/Amoeboid Changeling/Azure Fleet Admiral/Crimson Fleet Commodore/Cloud Pirates + any untapper + any pinger

• Battered Golem + any type changer + any pinger (Also produces infinite mana)

• Steelfin Whale + any type changer + any pinger (Also produces infinite mana)

• Horseshoe Crab + any pinger + any type changer

• Pili-Pala + any pinger + any type changer

• Reckless Fireweaver + any type changer
