Gidgetimer on Does roiling vortex trigger whenever …

A spell is a card, or a copy of a card on the stack. Wilhelt making a Decayed Zombie is a triggered ability. Something like Axgard Cavalry is an activated ability. Neither type of ability will cause you to take damage from Roiling Vortex.

112.1. A spell is a card on the stack. As the first step of being cast (see rule 601, “Casting Spells”), the card becomes a spell and is moved to the top of the stack from the zone it was in, which is usually its owner’s hand. (See rule 405, “Stack.”) A spell remains on the stack as a spell until it resolves (see rule 608, “Resolving Spells and Abilities”), is countered (see rule 701.5), or otherwise leaves the stack. For more information, see section 6, “Spells, Abilities, and Effects.”

112.1a A copy of a spell is also a spell, even if it has no card associated with it. See rule 707.10.

112.1b Some effects allow a player to cast a copy of a card; if the player does, that copy is a spell as well. See rule 707.12

DreadKhan on Super Shivan

There are some ways to tutor out the Shivan, one is Gamble, another is Magda, Brazen Outlaw. Gamble works well with recursion effects, which is a niche area for White. Zirilan of the Claw is a really weird one, iirc you can get around the exile effect by flickering the Shivan, at which point it's yours forever. Flicker effects are sometimes useful to protect the Shivan, so they're not 1 trick ponies and you could run more than one in a deck without them being superfluous. The worst might be Magda, but there are ways to generate 5 treasures and that's all you need, and some dwarves have amazing tap abilities like Dwarven Miner, a move that will annoy your opponent without really winning you the game, it's using your opponent's lands to dig out Shivan. Another good Dwarf could be Dwarven Blastminer, Dwarven Driller, Storm-Kiln Artist can make treasures too, some maybe options are Axgard Cavalry, Bomb Squad, Dwarven Armorer, and Mine Layer. There are some terrible options but I'm not going to bother with them. If you want a pretty competitive feeling Shivan Dragon deck, you might look up some Magda cEDH lists, that's a fairly competitive way to dig out a non-Legendary dragon.

Green is another great colour to look at if you want to dig out creatures, if you used something like Atla Palani, Nest Tender you can dig out creatures from your deck, guaranteeing access to Shivan eventually (if you run very few creatures you only need to pop a few eggs and you're guaranteed to hit) and she'd give you access to Green, which has it's own power buffing effects that can be quite notable. If you throw in a few cards that shuffle your graveyard back into your library (Green is great at this), you can recur your Shivan through Atla, so it can be pretty resilient.

I'm not disagreeing with Black as an option, just throwing another idea out there for you to think about.

The coolness of this deck idea makes me vaguely curious about a Red heavy Dragon Tyrant Atla Palani deck, just run stuff to make a nutso Dragon Tyrant and take over with your beefy beater.

712.4d While a transforming double-faced permanent has its back face up, it has only the characteristics of its back face. However, its mana value is calculated using the mana cost of its front face. [...]

That's good to know. And it makes Nexus even better.

With Magda and for KJ to have haste, Axgard Cavalry looks useful. It's basically a mana-dork with upside.

Blackgate on Dungeon of Undeath (Grixis treasure/d20)

Hi GrimlockVIII, these are all great suggestions thank you! In fact you’ve given me an idea for a new deck that commits to the d20 mechanic in full!
Your suggestions led me to dig into dwarf cards in standard and I have added two cards to the deck: Axgard Cavalry and Skullport Merchant which seem to be working well with Magda, Brazen Outlaw.

I agree, the price for Goldspan Dragon is bananas, but to be honest I’m not sold on that card as much as others seem to be and don’t plan on including it here. I think it serves a deck better as a midrange threat, not a finisher.

I’ll post the updates to this deck soon and will post a dedicated d20 budget deck soon too! Thanks again GrimlockVIII!
