About Hoard-Smelter Dragon

A deck focused on artifact removal and aggressive strategies would benefit from including Hoard-Smelter Dragon, as it provides a versatile way to deal with artifacts while also potentially growing in power. However, in competitive play, cards like Shatterstorm or Vandalblast may be more efficient for artifact removal, and cards like Thundermaw Hellkite or Glorybringer may offer better value for a dragon-focused deck. Overall, Hoard-Smelter Dragon could see play in casual or themed decks, but may not be a top choice for optimized competitive decks.
