Player / decklist movement
Smaug decks have a real reason to use Crime Novelist: every Treasure you sacrifice gives you another red mana and grows the Goblin with a +1/+1 counter. The card is already in a large share of the three Smaug shells, but TCGplayer still shows hundreds of regular copies under a dollar.
This commander was named in the trend.
Version-specific: compare the exact set, collector number, finish, treatment, and product source before trusting the move.
