Smaug by ITSNOTGOINGWELL

Format: Commander

Commander: Smaug the Impenetrable

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Smaug the Impenetrable leads a Rakdos dragon horde built to accelerate into cheap, hasty dragons and bury opponents under combat damage and Treasure-matters burn. The primary line is to stack Dragon-cost reducers (Dragonlord's Servant, Dragonspeaker Shaman, Nogi) and fast-mana pieces, cast Smaug early, then attack every turn with indestructible haste beaters. Secondary lines include Parapet Thrasher's repeatable modes, Hellkite Tyrant's artifact-steal alternate win, and a Kiki-Jiki + Helm of the Host token kill. The commander is a resilient finisher rather than an engine; the deck can still function without him, but loses its fastest clock.
