Designed by Jarel Threat, the card carries a mana cost of {3}{R}{R} and has a mana value of 5, placing it firmly in the red color identity. Its gameplay revolves around the Saga mechanic, which advances through three chapters by adding lore counters. Each chapter provides distinct effects: initially, it prevents a target creature from blocking; the second chapter allows the player to search their library for a Mountain card and put it onto the battlefield; and the final chapter creates Smaug, a legendary 6/6 red Dragon creature token with flying and haste. Upon the dragon's death, it generates fourteen Treasure tokens, providing substantial resource acceleration.

This Saga card is valued for its powerful late-game potential and its ability to generate both card advantage and mana resources through its treasure generation.
