Description
INTRODUCTION
Bracket: High 3

This is a monored Artifact-Toolbox-Dwarf/Dragon - Draw and Go - Control deck that does "untypical" things for monored.

It aims to be at max "casual" powerlevel. The cEDH version of this deck basically runs much more support for the infinite and more infinites.

Magda gives all dwarves +1/+0 and creates a treasure whenever a dwarf becomes tapped. She then has the broken ability to tutor a dragon or artifact directly to the board if you sacrifice 5 treasures.

Her ability functions in the way that you can activate it by sacrificing 5 treasures, then opponents can react. The won't know what you will get.

You will like this deck if:

You like flavor and tribal (Dwarves dig for treasures and find Dragons)
You like to have an answer to everything
You like to make a treasure tokens
You like big mean Dragons
You like big mean Artifacts
You like the "draw and go" interactive playstyle
You like to win with combat damage, but still have a combo in the backhand

You won't like this deck if:

You are looking for a lot of draw. The deck doesn't need to draw tough, since you tutor everything directly.
You don't like red or dwarves that do nothing.
You don't like a deck that is very reliant on the commander. If Magda is dead we don't do much.
_________________________________________________
GAMEPLAN
STARTING HAND

We ideally want a turn 1 Dwarf into a turn 2 Magda to start generating treasures ASAP.

So we want a turn 1 Dwarf, 2 Lands, More ways to make treasures, Interaction and most importantly a safe way to tap dwarves ideally.
________________________________________________

EARLY/MIDGAME
Turn 1 you want to play a Dwarf.
Turn 2 you play Magda and generate your first treasure.
Turn 3 ideally you have more dwarves and a save way to tap said dwarves. If you don't have a save way to tap, try to find attacks to generate more treasures. If you can tap them savely tap them in the opponents endstep.
Turn 4-5 Make more treasures.

If an opponent targets you and you already have 5 treasures you can "in reaction" look for something in your deck:

If they try to kill Magda --> Mithril Coat
If they attack you (or try to kill Magda) --> Portal to Phyrexia (revive Magda) --> You can also get one of your big dragons to just block them
If you need to remove something --> Meteor Golem. I've opted for Meteor Golem rather than Spine of Ish Sah because you can block with him and recurr him with Portal to Phyrexia. In a cEDH meta where many torpor style effects are around Spine is better.

If you have 5 treasures and nobody targeted you, you can in the endstep of the opponent before you get Ancient Copper Dragon. Ideally you can protect it somehow.
________________________________________________

LATEGAME/WINNING

Attack with your copper dragon --> Make many treasures.
Another Value play --> Cavern-Hoard Dragon --> Tutor for mycosynth lattice and create a ton of treasures.
In general there is several ways to win the game fast (We will talk about the combo later):

Vandalblast in hand:

If you have Vandalblast in hand and 5 treasures on board. You can overload Vandalblast and get Mycosynth Lattice in response while holding priority and destroy all permanents of all opponents. Usually people will resign then.

Hellkite Tyrant:

If you have the Tyrant on the board, you can attack a player and look for Mycosynth Lattice, turning everything into an artifact and thus gaining control of all permanents your opponent controls (usually in resulting in them scooping).

Protecting your board:

You can look for Mycosynth Lattice and Darksteel Forge to make all your permanents indestructible.

You can in response to a farewell get mycosynth lattice to restart the game for everyone.

Get Dampening sphere against cascade or storm/combo decks to stop them.

Possessed Portal is just mean... You make treasures, you always have something to sacrifice and you don't need to draw, since you can tutor everything. You can also get it in response to somebody drawing alot of cards.

Fun Things to do:

With Utvara Hellkite out you can get Maskwood Nexus and all your dwarves are dragons which will create more dragons. If you have Terror of the Peaks out you can shoot a ton of damage.
___________________________________________________

COMBO

Currently the infinite is NOT in the deck since I want it to be a high 3.
Text still left in if you want to include the combo:
This deck runs many lines but technically one infinite. I usually don't tutor for the infinite, unless somebody else plays a combo deck.
If you want you can win very early with the infinite.

You need: Magda, A dwarf that is an artifact (or a way to make Magda an artifact) and 5 treasures
Sacrifice the 5 treasures to get Clock of Omens
You tap your dwarf (that is an artifact) and clock of omens
Tapping the dwarf will result in one treasure
You target the dwarf with the clock of omens to untap it
You tap your dwarf and the treasure to untap the dwarf again
This results in infinite treasures, thus infinite searches of your library.

You can generate infinte mana if you look for Roaming Throne. Then the tapped dwarf will always create 2 treasures of which one is untapped that you can use for mana.

You can then win on the spot by tutoring for Realm-Scorcher Hellkite. Once it ETBs you can pay infinite Mana to shoot infinite damage to any target.

Notably the deck would obviously be even stronger if you go full cEDH and just go for the Combo and protecting it. This just has more variance and is more fun to me (As I usually do NOT use the infinite). A commander that tutors is hard to build with variance, because why would you not always get the best thing?
___________________________________________________
CARDS TO LOOK FOR / CARDS TO AVOID

Naturally we are looking for cool artifacts, cool new dragons, cool new dwarves (ideally low CMC and/or artifacts) and spells/things that create treasures for us.

CARDS TO AVOID / CUTS
Notable Cuts

Tangle Wire --> OP earlygame if you have the dwarves out. But practically dead if not in your starting hand.
Stax in general --> I took it out to not be as toxic.
