The second Hobbit Scene Box, Treasures of Smaug, puts players inside the Lonely Mountain’s throne room — a six-card foil panorama illustrated by Marta Nael that shows Smaug stretched across mountains of gold with Bilbo small and vulnerable in the foreground. Like its Crack the Plates counterpart, it is $44.99, releases at the August 7 prerelease, and every card in the panorama is fully playable. Here is every card in the box, in panorama order, with what it actually does.

Every Card in Treasures of Smaug, in Panorama Order

Long-Lost Lances

Long-Lost Lances

{2} · Artifact — Equipment

+2/+0, and during your turn every equipped creature you control also has first strike and vigilance. The equip cost is only {2}, so re-equipping after a creature dies is painless, and the vigilance clause is the unusual part — most combat-boosting Equipment forces a choice between attacking and holding back blockers, and this one removes that tradeoff entirely.

That makes it a strong fit for the Treasure-and-artifacts plan the rest of this box pushes: attack profitably with an equipped creature while still leaving your board able to defend against a counter-swing. At two mana to cast and two to equip, it is cheap enough to fit into almost any Equipment-adjacent Commander deck, not just a dedicated Treasure shell.

Dragon-Cursed Halls

Dragon-Cursed Halls

Land

Taps for colorless mana on its own, or pay {1} and tap to give a target creature “whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, create a Treasure token” for the rest of the turn. As a land it never costs you a card slot, and the activated ability turns any evasive or hard-to-block threat into a repeatable Treasure engine for as long as you keep attacking with it.

It pairs especially well with fliers or unblockable creatures, since the Treasure trigger only cares about connecting with a player, not about power or toughness. In a deck built around Smaug, the Impenetrable, using Dragon-Cursed Halls on a small evasive creature early lets you bank Treasures well before Smaug himself is online at six mana.

Smaug, the Impenetrable

Smaug, the Impenetrable

{5}{B}{R} · Legendary Creature — Dragon · 8/7

Flying, indestructible, haste, at an 8/7 for seven mana — and whenever he is dealt noncombat damage, you create that many Treasure tokens. Indestructible alone makes most removal spells dead against him; combine that with the Treasure trigger and damage-based removal actively backfires; a three-damage burn spell that fails to kill him hands you three Treasures instead.

Haste and flying mean he is swinging for eight in the air the same turn he lands, and because he cannot be destroyed by damage, opponents are forced into exile effects or bounce to deal with him at all — both of which are rarer and more expensive answers in most Commander pools. He is the clear payoff for this box’s Treasure subtheme and a genuinely difficult threat to interact with profitably.

Bilbo's Burglaring

Bilbo’s Burglaring

{4}{U}{U} · Sorcery

For each opponent, gain control of up to one target artifact that player controls. Unlike a typical single-target Steal Artifact effect, this scales with the table: in a four-player Commander pod with three opponents, one sorcery can take one artifact from each of them simultaneously, for a total of up to three permanents changing hands off a single card.

The “up to one” wording means you can selectively skip an opponent with nothing worth taking rather than being forced to grab something marginal. At six mana it arrives in the midgame rather than early, but against a table that has spent several turns assembling Signets, Equipment, and other artifacts, one Bilbo’s Burglaring can single-handedly swing the artifact count in your favor.

Dragon's Desire

Dragon’s Desire

{2}{R}{R} · Sorcery

Adds {R} for each artifact your opponents control. This is a pure ritual with no card advantage attached — its value depends entirely on how many artifacts the table has already put into play, which makes it more of a build-around than a default include.

In a pod where opponents are running Treasures, Signets, and Equipment, Dragon’s Desire can generate a genuine burst of mana to slam Smaug, the Impenetrable ahead of schedule or chain several spells in a single turn. It is weakest in the early game before opponents have artifacts on board, so it rewards patience over a turn-two cast.

Necklace of Girion

Necklace of Girion

{2}{G} · Legendary Artifact

Whenever you cast a green spell or a Forest you control enters, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature, and it taps for green mana on top of that. The double trigger condition — both casting green spells and playing Forests — means it fires constantly in a green-heavy deck without needing any extra setup beyond just playing the game normally.

It functions as a quiet, low-maintenance counters engine that also ramps, which makes it a strong include in any green Commander deck regardless of whether that deck is otherwise focused on Treasures or artifacts. Three mana for a permanent that both accelerates you and steadily grows a creature turn after turn is efficient value that keeps paying off the longer the game goes.


Is Treasures of Smaug Worth Buying?

This box is the stronger pick of the two Scene Boxes for players building artifact or Treasure-matters Commander decks — Smaug, the Impenetrable plus Dragon-Cursed Halls and Dragon’s Desire form a coherent payoff package that slots into existing Rakdos or Jund Treasure shells without much extra work. For $44.99 plus three Play Boosters of pack value, it is a reasonable buy for anyone who wants Smaug, the Impenetrable specifically rather than hunting for a single copy after release.

Collectors will want it for the same reason as Crack the Plates: the six-card throne-room panorama is a striking display piece on its own, independent of whether you ever play the cards.
