Smaug the Impenetrable by HysteriaVII

Format: Commander

Commander: Smaug the Impenetrable

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Primary plan: create a tide of Treasure tokens and turn them into direct damage or alternate wins. Smaug the Impenetrable is the engine: self-damage effects turn his indestructible body into huge Treasure bursts. The cleanest win is Smaug + Pyrohemia or Pestilence + Pain for All, which is an infinite life-drain loop; secondary lines use Xorn and Goldspan Dragon to multiply Treasures and close with Mirkwood Bats, Marionette Apprentice, or Revel in Riches / Hellkite Tyrant / Knuckles the Echidna. There is no hidden commander; the deck is built around the single Smaug face, using both its damage-trigger and its haste.
