How it works

  1. Cause an artifact to enter the battlefield under your control.
  2. HYDRA Assault Robot triggers, dealing 1 damage to target opponent.
  3. Malcolm triggers, as HYDRA Assault Robot is a Pirate due to Arcane Adaptation, creating a Treasure token
  4. When the Treasure enters, HYDRA Assault Robot triggers, dealing 1 damage to target opponent.
  5. Repeat from step 3.

This clever loop transforms a single artifact entry into an unstoppable engine of destruction by turning every newly minted token into a weapon. Arcane Adaptation does the heavy lifting behind the scenes, bestowing the Pirate creature type upon all your creatures and future artifacts so they synergize with Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator. Whenever HYDRA Assault Robot triggers from an artifact entering, Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator sees the damage dealt and rewards you with a Treasure token. That very Treasure entry immediately feeds back into HYDRA Assault Robot to deal another point of damage, creating a self-sustaining loop that buries your opponents in infinite damage and shiny new mana.
