Hoarding Dragon Comicby *DanShive

Fan Art / Cartoons & Comics / Digital / Games

My Magic Parody Comics

Hoarding Dragon + Elixir Of Immortality. It's not necessarily a GOOD combo, but there's some logic to it. If your opponent kills off the dragon, they know for a fact that you'll be given quick access to +5 life and that the dragon (along with the rest of your graveyard and the Elixir) will be shuffled back into the library. There are probably far better ways to take advantage of the Dragon's ability, but I haven't put much thought into it.

This comic was inspired by my thinking of Gollum while looking at the Hoarding Dragon in a comic shop's 2011 binder, and then almost immediately realizing I was being stupid for not thinking of Smaug first. I don't mention Smaug by name in the comic because Smaug is a bit more obscure than Gollum these days and this is already referential humor within referential humor

There is a reason why he is called "Hoarding" dragon lol.

You do really god facial expressions. The only character in your three magic comics who dosen't have good ones is the Mitotic slime, since it has, umm, no face.

Lol! Dude, do you know Norse mythology by any chance? If you don't I'll tell you why I'm asking. You see, it is believed that Tolken's Character's Golem and Smaug are both inspired by Fafnir. You see, Fafnir was a dwarf who betrayed everyone for treasure, and then to better guard the treasure, he ran away into the wilderness with it (that's Golem's part). Smaug's is as follows: Fafnir became so corrupted that he turned into a serpent, which is the Norse symbol for greed. Eventually he is killed by a group of dwarves who want to reclaim the treasure. I just laughed when I saw your Gollem/Smaug analogy. Geeze, I just went total herd. -.-*

At the pre-release I pulled Hoarding Dragon as my only red rare, and god that is an awful card! It should be an uncommon, like seriously!

None the less, I like this comic! Well done!
