Smaug, Wicked Worm - The Hobbit (Rare) [HOB-164]

Smaug, Wicked Worm is a five-mana Dragon from The Hobbit set with flying and a unique ability to generate Treasure tokens based on the number of artifacts your opponents control upon entering the battlefield. This can quickly provide a significant ramp for your mana needs while also allowing you to draw cards at the cost of life whenever you cast spells using those Treasures. He fits well in aggressive Rakdos decks that aim to exploit the wealth of resources generated, but his effectiveness can be hindered in matchups against creature-light strategies or decks that don't rely on artifacts. **As a Commander:** Smaug's colour identity of Rakdos makes him a compelling choice for a treasure-focused deck, allowing for explosive plays and card advantage. However, he may serve better in the 99 of a deck built around a different commander, as his high mana cost can delay your game plan in a more streamlined strategy.
