Lost Hobbit Precon - Tenfold Shields
deck Smaug the Impenetrable
Aug 12, 2026
In this Rakdos treasure deck with Smaug the Impenetrable at the helm, the plan is to continuously blow up the board with noncombat damage, and then convert that damage into Treasures, while also gaining benefits from creatures dying. The board wipes act as the engine with Blasphemous Act, Star of Extinction, Chain Reaction, Starstorm, and Volcanic Fallout clearing the table while Smaug gains a pile of gold, and Furnace of Rath doubling every count. Cards like Pestilence grind little by little and stay up due to Smaug tanking all that damage. Wins come from converting the treasure hoard into life loss with artifact-ETB triggers like Reckless Fireweaver and Ingenious Artillerist, token drains like Mirkwood Bats, Nadier's Nightblade, and Disciple of the Vault, with Exsanguinate as a late-game play. This deck does contain infinite loops: Chain Lightning or Pestilence + Smaug, and Mayhem Devil + Mirkwood Bats + Smaug. Because these cards naturally fit Smaug, who benefits from taking damage, I decided to keep them.
