Ich-Tekik & Malcolm | Golem/Pirate Tribal | Deck tuning/thoughts
Hey all!
Been brewing up some more PDH goodness, most recently a partner deck with [[Ich-Tekik, Salvage Splicer]] and [[Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator]]. Caring about golems and pirates, changelings work like a charm here, both generating treasures when they hit from Malcolm, and growing tall when you crack said treasures from Ick-Tekik. With the wealth of treasures floating around atm, this deck could probably stand up in regular EDH pods too.

Still in the process of tuning the list fully, but would love any feedback or suggestions you brilliant folks may have x
Is the plan of growing some giant golems and smacking people around a viable win-con? or is this too slow? Should I add some combo finishers too? Cheers all!

My buddy Classic Sidepart has this deck build and it's an absolute delight to play against. The play patterns feel like a really good Avengers movie: the enemy (Malcolm + Itchy) gets BERSERK positioning and is poised to annihilate everyone in one fell swoop, and then they get gangbeat to death by literally the rest of the table, in what genuinely feels like a satisfying epic confrontation.
I've never seen it win a game but I've always seen it threaten the whole table, and it's always struck me as playing really good, memorable, engaging games.
