Soul Partition can exile anything and plays into your Grand Arbiter Augustin IV angle taxing them as you take resources. Speaking of taxes and resource denial... Where's the Burning Sands?

Capsize > Cyclonic Rift

I know that might be a controversial take but Rift is one and done. Capsize is forever with your mana rocks :)

Cut some of your creatures. Palladium Myr? Vesuva cloning your Ancient Tomb is better.

Big fan of Dwarven Miner for the nostalgia (started during Mirage) but Dwarven Driller is cooler and you really need mana rocks.

Ornithopter of Paradise great common but you aren't running modifications and being a creature just makes it vulnerable to removal. A mana rock would be better.

Eye of Ramos, Heart of Ramos and Tooth of Ramos have been really useful in my build.

Continuing the tradition of Dwarven Miner, Mine Layer, Dwarven Driller, and Dwarven Blastminer. Make things go boom.

Create a multicolored card with Squad.

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.

Tap more dwarves! Bomb Squad, Dwarven Blastminer, Dwarven Driller and Mine Layer

Kelticblade on Magda and the Seven Dwarfs

carpecanum Thank you for the suggestions! Manriki-Gusari is definitely a great suggestion to the deck! I'll keep my eyes peeled for one! Dwarven Driller and Bomb Squad are awesome dwarfs, but I can't seem to justify their CMCs right now in the deck. Siege Modification is great, and the deck does hold a good chunk of vehicles. But I think it would be better suited in a Depala, Pilot Exemplar deck. The vehicles in this deck don't always need to be creatures and Siege Modification could cause unwanted ire towards the vehicle.

Siege Modification can be frightening. If you want you can still tap to crew even if its already a creature.

Dwarven Driller , Bomb Squad , maybe something like Power of Fire or Manriki-Gusari to help tap guys.

Any of the double trigger cards (like Strionic Resonator would make an extra treasure. Not sure that would be better than just having another dwarf though.

I'd like to see Seven Dwarves inside a Soul Foundry

Kyren Negotiations to tap dwarves without attacking

Bomb Squad (also very fun in a Soul Foundry ) and Dwarven Driller

carpecanum on Of Dwarven Gold and Dragonfire: Magda Commander

Bomb Squad, Dwarven Driller and Fire Whip for more tapping.

Moonveil Dragon to pump everything after blockers are chosen.
