This is a Magda deck with an infinite combo win as well as some fun alternative options.

Play pattern:
- Play out Magda and 1-3 other dwarves
- Swing out if possible, otherwise clown-car them into a vehicle every turn
- Requirements to win: magda, 10 treasures, 4 mana of any color
- Wincon: activate magda into a Rings of Brighthearth, then activate her again and use Rings of Brighthearth to copy magda's ability, so you can get both Basalt Monolith and Staff of Domination. Then use Basalt Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth + your remaining two mana to get inifinite colorless. Then use staff of domination to infinitely tap and untap magda for infinite treasure. Activate Magda for Skarrgan Hellkite and pump infinite treasure into its ability to burn down the world, Daenerys style
- Timeline is very consistent to turn 5, if unimpeded. T1 dwarf, T2 Magda, swing, treasure, T3 something else, swing for 2 treasure, T4 get at least 3 treasure, T5 get at least 4 treasure, cash it all in for the win at instant speed during declare attackers step.
- Shivan Hellkite is included as a backup to Skarrgan Hellkite. They work exactly the same way, except Shivan bypasses anything that stops counters and you can't cheat them in from hand so if you draw one, it's good to have a backup.

Non-Combo Alternatives: Consider Rings of Brighthearth, Staff of Domination, and Basalt Monolith as a 3-card flex slot to switch out for alternative playstyles!
- Infinite Mana (current gameplan) (~8.5)
- If I expect heavier interaction, I could tilt into stax with my first search getting Possessed Portal and maybe going from that into Thopter Assembly which can go infinite with Magda and another dwarf, but takes a lot of sac's to set up and the math varies wildly for different numbers of surviving players. The other option after Portal is God-Pharaoh's Statue, which you definitely want to get down before sac'ing Portal to itself. Portal wiping the board and forcing all opponents into topdecking against a Statue is easily game over, with or without a big threat like Skarrgan Hellkite. This needs to be upgraded by replacing Thopter Assembly with Academy Manufactor as the follow-up to Possessed Portal. It goes infinite with less sacrifice on the front end and easily gets me to the point of infinite Magda tutorings. (~9)
- I can midrange instead, using dragons to burn away blockers while smacking through for damage, if the combo is blocked. This is the default backup plan baked into the deck.
- Once I get one, I can swap out to Hellkite Tyrant, Hellkite Igniter, and Knollspine Dragon for a grindier game against people who want less aggro (~7)
-As it turns out, most of the good dragon targets for Magda are Hellkites, so if people want more janky themey, I can switch out for Utvara Hellkite, Thundermaw Hellkite, and Steel Hellkite. (~6)
-To instead do a voltron package, I can instead run Hammer of Nazahn, Whispersilk Cloak, and Colossus Hammer (~5)

Counterplay Toolbox:
- Should be upgraded to include Platinum Angel at some point
- Elixir of Immortality stops milling out and can get back key pieces

Needed Upgrades:
What the deck needs most are more 1-drop dwarves. Ideally 20 of them, but it'll be a long time before they print that many. Most of the cards in the Dwarves and Misc Treasure custom categories could be dropped for more 1-drop dwarves. Beyond that there are some staples to add: War Room, Tibalt's Trickery, Chaos Warp, Ruby Medallion, Dockside Extortionist, and maybe Gamble
