Repeat.
This ingenious loop turns Embraal Gear-Smasher into a devastating artillery piece, fueled by the relentless economic engine of Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator. Because Captain's Hook transforms Embraal Gear-Smasher into a Pirate, its burn damage natively satisfies Malcolm's trigger condition to manufacture Treasure tokens. Every iteration of this loop then spends one of those freshly minted Treasures to activate Pemmin's Aura, untapping the Gear-Smasher so it can fling another artifact and repeat the cycle for infinite damage.
