Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator + Freed from the Real + Embraal Gear-Smasher + Captain's Hook

Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator

Freed from the Real

Embraal Gear-Smasher

Captain's Hook

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 Freed from the Real's second ability by paying , untapping Embraal Gear-Smasher.
5. Repeat.

This clever loop turns Embraal Gear-Smasher into a lethal engine by leveraging a few specific augmentations. Equipping the creature with Captain's Hook makes it a Pirate, allowing Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator to generate a Treasure token for every opponent whenever the Gear-Smasher deals damage. Meanwhile, Freed from the Real provides the crucial untap mechanism, fueled directly by sacrificing the Treasures generated along the way to pay its blue mana cost.
