Activate Imagecrafter by tapping it, causing Magmaw to become a Pirate until end of turn.
Activate Magmaw by paying 1 and sacrificing another nonland permanent, dealing 1 damage to an opponent.
Malcolm triggers, creating a 1/1 Thopter artifact creature token and a Treasure token.
Activate a Treasure by tapping and sacrificing it, adding 1.
Repeat from step 2.
This clever loop transforms our fiery elemental into an honorary sea-farer with the help of Imagecrafter, allowing Magmaw to trigger Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator's pirate-plundering ability whenever it hurls damage at an opponent. Thanks to the steady stream of artifact tokens from Malcolm, Stridehangar Automaton swoops in to amplify our production by naturally spitting out an extra Thopter alongside every single Treasure we make. We then sacrifice those very same tokens to fuel Magmaw's activation cost and keep the loop burning infinitely.
