I'm looking for advice from other Malcolm enjoyers. I love the commander and thought a fun practice would be to brew him in every color pairing to play him out in different ways. I've played Malcolm+Kediss and seen many different Malcolm+Red variants throughout tournaments but have only seen one person attempt a different pairing when they went Simic. I'll post all my brews below and if anyone has good cuts/adds I'm all ears, would like to get the lists tuned before making the big purchase so that I'm making a lot less adjustments from actual plates ting.

Malcolm+ Esior

Malcolm+ Kediss

Malcolm+ Ardenn

Malcolm+ Ich Tekik

Malcolm+ Keskit

First time ever attempting one of these so feel free to ask any questions about the event! Had a decent show out for our 4th in person tournament at 28 players, 2 of which drove up from St. Louis (so huge shout out to those Imoti players) also 2 of the 3 previous champs were in attendance but failed to make the final 4. Hawkeye was able to break the Simic streak by taking the win with an impressive mono red burn deck that functioned well even without the commander being on the field. The event saw 22 unique commanders with the most popular being Malcolm/Red (1 Rog, 2 Breeches, 2 Kediss) and only 1 Gretchen which I found surprising. We ran 4 round then cut to top 10, with 1st and 2nd getting byes to the finals.

If you're looking for some quick results without clicking the topdeck link the final 4 was: Hawkeye (3-1 Swiss), Weavers (3-1 Swiss), Sanar (2-1-1 Swiss) and TPI (2-2 Swiss). 17 players had at least 1 win during swiss, and there were only 2 draws throughout the event.

We are about a month away from the next Cloudy Commons Cup! We've decided to team up with NorthStarCEDH to host our event on Day 2 of their first ever Convention! If you're free July 19th come through to Minneapolis and take a shot at winning your very own Kaladesh Inventions Lotus Petal! They're hosting CEDH events all weekend, on demand limited events and there will be a free play area which is where you'll find me slinging PDH games Saturday. https://topdeck.gg/event/cloudy-commons-cup-iv Will this be the event to end the Simic win streak?
