Deck overview

This is a mono-red Dragon/Treasure burn deck built around Smaug the Magnificent. The plan is to flood the battlefield with Treasure tokens, then convert that hoard into lethal damage through Smaug's hasted attack trigger - amplified by damage multipliers (Torbran, Thane of Red Fell, Solphim, Mayhem Dominus, Twinflame Tyrant, Fiery Emancipation, City on Fire) and extra combat steps (Aggravated Assault, Karlach, Fury of Avernus, Scourge of the Throne, Desert Were-Worm) so the trigger fires two, three, or infinitely many times in one turn. Treasure density comes from Magda, Brazen Outlaw, Goldspan Dragon, Ancient Copper Dragon, Xorn, Academy Manufactor, and a full suite of draw-rituals. Backup wins are equally real: Hellkite Tyrant and Knuckles the Echidna win on artifact count, and Goldspan + Aggravated Assault is a clean infinite-combat engine. The deck is linear, explosive, and heavily redundant - but it lives and dies by its artifact economy and the attack step.
