Maybe you’re like, ok, nobody should be able to take on Smaug. But, people really wanted to see a deck for him, and Robert Moore came up with the idea of Fire Pillars as his minors and the mold for a deck. Separatist contributed greatly as well and the deck turned out really well.
In 2020, the LOTRED Legend set was created and Smaug suddenly looked a bit lacking, so MY BREATH IS DEATH and DRAGON SCALES were adjusted to increase his power level.
