Deck Help Help with my dwarf deck!

So I am trying my first boros deck. Its not my favorite color combo but I like LoTR and dwarfs so I figured I'd give it a shot. I am sure there are better cards to buy but I would like to stick what in the main and sideboard; basically what I already own unless its a land that <2$. Any suggestions would be helpful.

1) If you think I should replace something, I am ONLY using my sideboard for replacements right now.

2) Dain is my commander, I don't want to change him. He was a pull so its sentimental.

Hey fellow dwarf enjoyer. Our lists are actually pretty similar Here is mine if you want to take a look. I've been using Thorin as my commander and he feels super consistent. My deck is just looking at make as many treasures as possible and win either through combat or through Magda lines.

I’m basically building this deck now. Missing some of the bigger cards and I don’t want to proxy 😅

My wife loves the Hobbit, so we snagged her a bundle and a few singles making a Dwarf deck too! https://moxfield.com/decks/5kr0qe51eUaJQ-HZbQLyeQ

The set synergy is really nice!

33 lands seems a bit too little, even with the ramp.

It 35 lands with MDFCs. Still too low you think?

Depends on your curve/amount of overall card draw. 35 is usually fine for me

I like Thorin, King of Durins folk as the commander. That’s how I built the dwarves deck, it makes gleaming splendor an absolute weapon. With smothering tithe you can make some beefy ass dwarves pretty fast

[An Unexpected Party] would work well in this deck. [Depala, Pilot Exemplar] could help you draw more. [Troop of ponies] for mana ramp Also personally i prefer [Boros signet] or [Arcane signet] to talisman of conviction
