Here is a reminder. Even if a poster makes it seem like a funny or clever response is required, just don't. In the brewing areas, and ESPECIALLY in the beginner areas, please answer only with helpful advice. If there is more that needs asking in order to give a helpful response, ask the OP for clarification.

Poking fun at someone asking a serious question is just a ****** move, isn't helpful, and isn't tolerated. Always assume a poster in the brewing forums are asking a legitimate question, even if it doesn't seem like it at first.
 
Why can't it be malty?
It depends on how concerned you are with brewing "on-style". It's unusual for a saison to be malty. A malty beer brewed with a saison yeast might be better described as a bier de garde, or something similar.
None of that makes it a bad beer, it just might make it a little less of a saison.
 
What do you think:

6lbs. of Pilsen Light DME
1lb. of Wheat DME

1oz. EKG @ 60min.
1/2oz. Perle @ 30min.
1/2oz. Crystal + Irish Moss @ 15min.
1/2oz. Tangerine Peel + 1/4 Cardamom Seed @ 15min.
1/4oz. Perle + 1/4oz. Crystal @ 10min.
1/4oz. Perle + 1/4oz. Crystal @ 3min.

1 packet of Belle Saison yeast
Also, just curious what kind of Wheat DME you used. I tried to do an extract Berliner Weisse a while back, and accidentally used a Bavarian Wheat LME instead of a Belgian Wheat LME, and ended up with a much darker beer than I'd intended.
