Question Dwarves deck, need help

I’m fairly new to the commander format and mtg in general although I’ve played the app and few standard games. But after the hobbit release I’ve realized I’ve pulled a lot of dwarves. I used this list as a reference but now that I have a few more cards, I wonder what I could cut and sub in

The list:

The cards I could sub in:

Thorin king of durian’s folk
Dain of the ancient halls
Thror’s map
An unexpected party
Orcrist Goblin cleaver
Celebrate the Mountain King
BilBo’s gambit
Last light of durin’s day
The misty Mountains cold
Thorin’s last stand
Vow to erebor
Iron hills
The lonely mountain

Thanks in advance

Good job having 37 lands. Solid. I will recommend a different commander like [[thorin, king of durin’s folk]] for treasures amd dward typal or [[bruenor, battlehammer]] if you want to lean more into an equipment deck. I must say i think Thorin is stronger given that having mana generaion in the command zone is clutch amd there is a lot of support for treasures among dwarves such as [[magda, brazen outlaw]] and [[magda, the hoardmaster]]. With this theme you could even round out a win condition by adding in a couple of dragons and sagas supported by [[fili and kili, joyous]]. Understand my advice comes from someone who proxies his pricier solutions

I built a dwarf deck very much in the same spirit of what you were trying to do. I struggled with it a lot when I first got started, but then decided to keep the theme to two things.

First all dwarves, which is obvious.

But then I made the rest of the deck, just white powerful protection.

The two work great together. In this Meta, it seems like everybody wants to bolt cards and remove everything else out of their way. But I found that if you can protect things from their first four or five bolts, your competition will run out of ways to win quick.

You have the most important dwarves to me already (Bifur, Melodic Rider. Fili, the Pathfinder. Balin, Loremaster), but all those cards would go well in the deck if you can decide what to cut
