An aggro / combo deck with Dwarves from Kaldheim.

Combo:

Magda, Brazen Outlaw + dwarves + changelings with a tap outlet Mothdust Changeling / Smuggler's Copter / The Omenkeel   = barf out treasures, sac to Magda to find wincon

With 5 treasures + Magda, Brazen Outlaw + an artifact dwarf such as Universal Automaton / Saheeli Rai copying a dwarf, find Clock of Omens. Tap the artifact dwarf and clock to untap the artifact dwarf and create a treasure, then tap artifact dwarf and treasure to untap artifact dwarf again, repeat. Sac treasures to find Reaper King and changelings, this will trigger Reaper King and vindicate the opponent's board.

Saheeli Rai + Felidar Guardian = classic infinite cats. The deck plays Saheeli Rai and happens to be in Jeskai colors already, so why not.

Felidar Guardian can flicker vehicle side of Cosima, God of the Voyage   into creature side, Magda, Brazen Outlaw to untap for another treasure, Esika's Chariot for more cats, Imperial Recruiter to find another card.

Esika's Chariot + Saheeli Rai = has a fun interaction. Cast chariot for 2 cats, copy chariot with Saheeli, for 2 more cats. Bin the original chariot, crew and attack with the token copy (it has haste), copy itself with chariot's trigger for 2 more cats. Now you have a decision, bin the attacking chariot, losing 4 damage or bin the copy created by chariot which stays on the board permanently unlike Saheeli's copy.

Esika's Chariot + Hofri Ghostforge has a similar combo as with Saheeli Rai but needs Esika's Chariot to be a creature and sac'ed to create a Hofri token.

The Omenkeel  's ability applies to all vehicles, not just itself.

Duergar Mine-Captain + Goldspan Dragon / Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy + Magda + treasure = infinite artifact ETB/sac + +1/+0 to your creatures. Pretty janky.

Meta-dependent fetch targets for Magda:

Skysovereign, Consul Flagship

Sundering Titan

Dragonlord Atarka

Sphinx of the Steel Wind (vs Burn)

Companion choices: Jegantha, the Wellspring, no synergy with the deck but gives extra value. Must remove Valiant Changeling from main

Yorion, Sky Nomad but dilutes the combo

Lines:

T1: Mothdust Changeling T2: Magda, Brazen Outlaw T3: Any Dwarf, e.g. Depala, Pilot Exemplar = 5 treasures, 2+6 total damage

T1: Mothdust Changeling T2: Magda, Brazen Outlaw T3: Augusta, Dean of Order   = 4 treasures, 2+6 total damage

T1: Universal Automaton T2: Smuggler's Copter/The Omenkeel   T3: Depala, Pilot Exemplar T4: Magda, Brazen Outlaw + 2 1-drop dwarves = 5 treasures, 1+6+11 total damage

T1: Universal Automaton T2: Smuggler's Copter/The Omenkeel   T3: Magda, Brazen Outlaw + 1-drop dwarf T4: = 8 treasures, 1+5+13 total damage

Thoughts:

• card:Wren and Six is in the meta and kills Magda, nearly all dwarves and most changelings. When card:Wren and Six falls out of favor maybe Toolcraft Exemplar and Metallic Mimic can come back in the main.

• Jund/BG Rock is a bad matchup. All nearly all cards are susceptible to their removal. Your best cards against them are Esika's Chariot, Saheeli Felidar combo, Reaper King and Valiant Changeling (dodges Fatal Push and Abrupt Decay but dies to Lightning Bolt and Assassin's Trophy)

• Pyre of Heroes needs a deck where creatures have multiple lives, like persist or undying.

• Esika's Chariot and Saheeli Rai are pretty awesome vs grindier matchups but introduces green mana sources

• Rivaz of the Claw required black, is a bit like Lurrus but cannot bring back Dwarves

• Invasion of Tarkir   decent in a hand with a lot of shapeshifters but not with a hand of Dwarves. Probably needs Changeling Outcast.

• Augusta, Dean of Order   is a non-dwarf, requires you to attack, has lord-effects. Is no faster getting to 5 treasures than simply playing a dwarf on T3.

Needs more testing:

• card:Haven of Spirit Dragon works on changelings

• Pyre of Heroes + Valiant Changeling = fetch 8cmc creature

• Mishra's Factory works on changelings

• Kaalia, Zenith Seeker can grab up to 3 changelings / dragons

• Coveted Prize gets better with more changelings

• Time Sieve instead of Reaper King

• Grist, the Hunger Tide's +1 works well with changelings

• Yorion, Sky Nomad as companion but dilutes the deck

• Cat tribal with Esika's Chariot, Lurrus of the Dream-Den and changelings

• Imperial Recruiter can find Magda, Cosima, Fairgrounds Warden, Felidar Guardian, Masked Vandal, Unsettled Mariner or Grist. Too bad Recruiter is human.

• Rivaz of the Claw can generate mana for changelings and dragons that are fetch targets for Magda. Its other ability gives a Lurrus-like effect for grindier matchups
