Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator + Pemmin's Aura + Embraal Gear-Smasher + Runed Stalactite

Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator

Pemmin's Aura

Embraal Gear-Smasher

Runed Stalactite

How it works

1. Activate Embraal Gear-Smasher by tapping it and sacrificing another artifact, dealing 2 damage to each opponent.
2. Malcolm triggers, creating a Treasure artifact token for each opponent dealt damage by Embraal Gear-Smasher.
3. Activate a Treasure by tapping and sacrificing it, adding .
4. Activate Pemmin's Aura's first ability by paying , untapping Embraal Gear-Smasher.
5. Repeat.

This loop turns the explosive reach of Embraal Gear-Smasher into a self-sustaining engine by transforming the Gear-Smasher itself into an honorary Pirate via Runed Stalactite, ensuring that every piece of direct damage triggers Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator to flood your board with freshly minted Treasure tokens. By sacrificing one of those Treasures for blue mana, you fuel Pemmin's Aura to untap the Gear-Smasher for the low price of a single blue mana, leaving you with extra mana and artifacts to spare. Because Malcolm generates a Treasure for *each* opponent, multiplayer formats like Commander turn this single activation loop into a net-positive mana and damage factory that easily wipes the entire table.
