Not sure if I'm missing something, but Sram, Senior Edificer seems good in here. Battlemage's Bracers can double your Commander's ability, Haste might come up idk. Lae'zel, Vlaakith's Champion can add an extra counter each time you add a counter. Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain will probably draw you some cards if you resolve her. Shorikai, Genesis Engine is more card draw to consider, it also makes pilots that can drive your vehicles if you're desperate.

If you can find anything that lets you put -1/-1 counters on opponent's stuff it would be very useful with your Proliferate abilities, Contagion Engine is a good example of what I mean, this starts small but fairly quickly will wipe out everything your opponents control. Choking Fumes could be an interesting surprise, especially if you can proliferate a few times after the spell resolves, possibly turning an attack against you into a bloodbath. Retribution would normally be pretty bad, but here you for sure kill one of the two creatures right away, and the other one will die quickly enough due to Proliferate.

It's a bit 'weird', but if you get out Nin, the Pain Artist out with your Commander you can pay 2UR to ping your Commander for 2 (which won't kill them) and draw 2 cards, that seems like an interesting floor. In a pinch you can remove a creature an opponent controls. If you have a bigger creature you can draw more, the price is surprisingly low since it can cost you no other resources.

I always love decks with Dwarves, such an underappreciated tribe! I have a soft spot for Dwarven Miner and Dwarven Blastminer, two very similar cards that can cripple some decks, I have essentially eliminated an otherwise problematic player by just resolving a Dwarf and locking them out of non-Basics for a measly 2R per turn.

Cool deck!

No Grinding Station?

Also it might be cool to create pseudo-Battered Golems by combining cards like Blisterspit Gremlin, Dwarven Patrol, and Nettle Drone with cards like Liquimetal Torque, Liquimetal Coating, and Ashnod's Transmogrant.

You might consider these too: Kessig Flamebreather, Lambholt Raconteur  ^Flip, Keen Sense, Snake Umbra, Illusionist's Bracers, Battlemage's Bracers, Cemetery Prowler

Battlemage's Bracers might not fit perfectly, unless I'm missing something. Narset has a triggered ability, not an activated ability.

I'm outlining a {U}{R}{W} Equipment deck around Kykar, Wind's Fury, and this deck is giving me some ideas and inspiration.

Additional combat rounds or untap effects double your goblins. There are a bunch of sorceries and enchantments that do this.

Battlemage's Bracers, Rings of Brighthearth, Thousand-Year Elixir, Umbral Mantle

Breath of Fury goes infinite if you have something to give goblins Haste.

Use any of the Red "steal your creature for one round" cards so you can sac their creatures after combat.

Battlemage's Bracers

Thornbite Staff could be very useful but its an older card and pricey.

Battlemage's Bracers, Heartstone. I'd look at the cards with Friend/Foe effects.

The "all creatures gain trample and haste" ability would be awesome with some Goad cards like Baeloth Barrityl, Entertainer

kookoo, I appreciate the suggestions, even though they total over $130. The dreadnought is cool, but way too pricy, and the only utility I gain from it is sacrificing it right away. I am considering Battlemage's Bracers, just not sure what to slot it in for yet.
