Desolation of Smaug

Sorcery

Desolation of Smaug deals 3 damage to each non-Dragon creature.
Add four mana in any combination of colors. Spend this mana only to cast Dragon spells.

At the twanging of the bows and the shrilling of the trumpets, the Dragon's wrath blazed to its height, till he was blind and mad with it.
