Hoard-Smelter Dragon, Creature — dragon, designed by Eric Deschamps first released in Oct, 2010 in the set Scars of Mirrodin and was printed exactly in 6 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.
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.

If the activated ability resolves but the targeted artifact isn’t destroyed (perhaps because it has indestructible or it regenerates), Hoard-Smelter Dragon will still get the bonus.

If the targeted artifact is an illegal target by the time the activated ability resolves, the ability doesn’t resolve. Hoard-Smelter Dragon won’t get the bonus.
