Reviews
Sure Strike has been a reasonable in some past sets, but never very exciting. Smaug's Fury is no different, so it's the kind of card you end up playing if your creature-based deck is low on , but one that you're never too happy to actually play.
It has no unplayable uncommons, and only two commons I like to avoid (Smaug's Fury and Iron Hills Stalwart).

Beasts and Burn Combat trick
Smaug's Fury kills nothing by itself, and Quarrel costs the same 2 mana and does. Spending it to switch on for one turn trades a whole card for one trigger.
How to play it
Learn the Beasts and Burn deckUse it, if at all, as an ambush on defense. A blocker with and 3 more power often kills the attacker before it deals damage, and against a you cast it before blockers are declared so the lets you block.
