Magda, Brazen Outlaw

Mana value2EDHREC#1,324

The Commander

Other Dwarves you control get +1/+0.

Whenever a Dwarf you control becomes tapped, create a Treasure token.

Sacrifice five Treasures: Search your library for an artifact or Dragon card, put that card onto the battlefield, then shuffle.

Guide

Gameplan

Flood the board with Dwarves, tap them en masse (via convoke, attacking, or tap effects) to generate piles of Treasure, then convert five Treasures into game-ending artifacts or Dragons fetched straight onto the battlefield. You ramp explosively while assembling a tutor-to-battlefield engine in mono-red.

Strengths

  • Repeatable artifact/Dragon tutor that cheats mana costs entirely
  • Explosive Treasure-based ramp and color fixing in mono-red
  • Low 2-mana commander that comes down early and snowballs
  • Tribal anthem makes Dwarf tokens and bodies relevant

Weaknesses

  • Heavily reliant on Magda staying on the board; removal stalls the engine
  • Mono-red lacks strong interaction and card-draw outside artifacts
  • Needs critical mass of Dwarves before the Treasure engine comes online
  • Vulnerable to board wipes and graveyard/artifact hate

Key Cards

  • Clock of OmensTap two artifacts to untap Magda, enabling repeatable tap loops for infinite Treasures with the right Dwarves.
  • Reckless FireweaverTurns the torrent of Treasure tokens into direct damage, a common combo finisher.
  • Dwarven RecruiterStacks your library with every Dwarf for explosive board-building turns.
  • Maskwood NexusMakes all your creatures and tokens Dwarves, supercharging Magda's tap trigger and anthem.
  • Goldspan DragonA premier tutor target that doubles Treasure value and provides a fast clock.
  • Battle HymnUntaps nothing but pairs with mass tapping to convert your Dwarf army into huge Treasure/mana bursts.

Upgrade Path

Add dedicated untap enablers (Clock of Omens, Voltaic Key, Manifold Key, Sword of the Animist) to assemble infinite-Treasure combos, and lean on fast mana like Mana Crypt, Jeska's Will, and Sol Ring. Curate tutor targets so every fetch wins or stops the table—Blightsteel Colossus, Bolas's Citadel, and big Dragons—and include protection such as Heroic Intervention to shield Magda from removal.
