Overview:

This Magda, Brazen Outlaw deck is a synergistic Dwarf/Treasure engine designed to rapidly generate artifact tokens and cheat out game-ending Dragons or artifact threats. The strategy revolves around deploying a critical mass of Dwarves (many with passive Treasure generation when tapped) to fuel Magda's tutor ability. Key payoffs include explosive Dragon drops as early as Turn 3-4 and artifact synergies like Hellkite Tyrant's alternate win condition. Magda serves as both the primary enabler and win condition accelerator, with the deck able to pivot between aggressive combat lines and combo finishes.

Primer:

Core Strategy Execution:

1. Early Setup (Turns 1-3): Prioritize 1-2 mana Dwarves like Universal Automaton, Dwarven Grunt, and Fearless Liberator to start generating Treasures through Magda's triggered ability. Use equipment like Goldvein Pick and Diamond Pick-Axe to accelerate token production.
2. Treasure Surge (Turns 3-5): Deploy key synergy pieces like Xorn (doubles Treasures) and Storm-Kiln Artist (Treasures from spells). Use instant-speed Treasure generators like Strike It Rich and Sudden Breakthrough to enable surprise Magda activations.
3. Win Condition Deployment:
   • Combat Overload: Cheat out Dragons like Drakuseth, Maw of Flames or Hellkite Igniter using Magda's ability. Activate Torbran, Thane of Red Fell to amplify damage.
   • Infinite Combo: Clock of Omens + Universal Automaton + 3 Treasures creates infinite artifact taps (and thus infinite Treasures via Magda), enabling instant-speed Hellkite Tyrant win.
   • Alternate Win: Hellkite Tyrant's 20-artifact victory condition supported by Academy Manufactor.

Mulligan Priorities:

• Keep hands with 2-3 lands including red sources
• At least 1-2 early Dwarves (ideally 1-2 CMC)
• Treasure generators (Strike It Rich, Goldvein Pick) or key payoff (Xorn)
• Avoid hands with only high-CMC Dragons and no early creatures

Key Tips:

• Use Clock of Omens to untap Magda after combat for multiple activations
• Dwarven Recruiter sets up critical Dwarf chains for Magda triggers
• Chaos Warp can target your own permanents to find key pieces
• Realm-Scorcher Hellkite provides explosive mana when Bargained
• Protect Magda with equipment like Diamond Pick-Axe (indestructible)

Weaknesses:

Critical

• Heavily commander-dependent - multiple removals on Magda cripples the engine
• Vulnerable to artifact board wipes (Vandalblast, Shatterstorm)

Moderate

• Limited card advantage engines beyond Treasure-fueled tutoring
• Weak to flying blockers before Dragons arrive

Minor

• Some high-variance cards (There and Back Again, Calamity of Cinders)
• Minimal graveyard interaction

Most Important Cards:

• Magda, Brazen Outlaw (Engine & Tutor)
• Clock of Omens (Infinite Combo Enabler)
• Hellkite Tyrant (Primary Win Condition)
• Xorn (Treasure Multiplier)
• Goldspan Dragon (Mana Amplification)
• Torbran, Thane of Red Fell (Damage Booster)
• Dwarven Recruiter (Dwarf Tutor)
• Academy Manufactor (Treasure Synergy)
• Storm-Kiln Artist (Spell Fuel)
• Universal Automaton (Changeling Combo Piece)

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 7/10
Capable of T3-4 Dragon drops through Treasure acceleration, with potential T5-6 infinite combos. Limited by creature summoning sickness for tap effects.

Resilience: 5/10
Moderate protection (Red Elemental Blast, equipment auras) but heavily reliant on Magda staying active. Some artifact recursion missing.

Consistency: 6/10
Strong tribal synergies and 14+ Treasure generators, but limited card draw makes finding combo pieces tutor-dependent.

Interaction: 5/10
Focused artifact removal (Vandalblast, Abrade) and targeted burn, but lacks stack interaction beyond Red Elemental Blast.

Rating Justification:

This deck demonstrates focused combo potential with T5-6 win capability through Magda tutoring and infinite Treasure lines, but its commander dependency and vulnerability to artifact hate prevent higher optimization. The balance of fast mana and fragile synergies aligns with high-power casual tiers.

Power level: 5.5 - 6.0
