Malcolm, Alluring Scoundrel — Fast and Sneaky
Malcolm, Alluring Scoundrel is a compact but effective Legendary Creature that rewards repeated hits. For {1}{U} you get a 2/1 with Flash and Flying which lets Malcolm evade ground blockers and appear at instant speed to push damage through. The card turns combat damage into card advantage by adding chorus counters and fueling a draw then discard sequence that can refill your hand and set up future plays.
When Malcolm connects with a player you start building toward a payoff. Once Malcolm has four or more chorus counters you can cast the discarded card without paying its mana cost. That interaction makes Malcolm useful in tempo builds that want immediate impact from a low cost flyer and in combo shells that abuse free casting. The Showcase foil treatment and Light Play condition make this piece both a playable option and a tidy addition for collectors of The Lost Caverns of Ixalan.
