Deck overview

This is a Boros Dwarf tribal swarm deck built to convert an ever-widening board of Dwarves into three avenues of damage: Dain's attack trigger, Purphoros-style ETB pings, and a lethal combat swing. The commander is a hasted anthem/trigger that doubles as the primary finisher, while Magda and Dwarven Recruiter assemble the Thrumming Stone + Seven Dwarves chain. Token doublers, Roaming Throne, and Fili make every Dwarf enter multiply. Protection is layered through Boros Charm, Teferi's Protection, and Unbreakable Formation. The deck can win from a single large attack or a cascade of dwarf ETBs, but it usually needs to reach a critical mass of 12-20 Dwarves.
