Clive Commands the Flames
Clive, Ifrit's Dominant stands as a formidable presence in any red-centric deck, blending raw power with strategic hand manipulation. As a legendary creature from the Universes Beyond: FINAL FANTASY set, Clive’s ability to discard your hand and then redraw cards equal to your devotion to red allows for a dynamic refresh of resources, fitting neatly into aggressive or midrange strategies. This mechanic not only fuels your board presence but can also help dig for crucial spells or threats at pivotal moments in the game.
Beyond his entrance impact, Clive’s secondary ability enables you to exile and then return him transformed to the battlefield, providing flexibility and surprise tactics under your control. This sorcery-speed ability can shift the momentum of a game by resetting Clive’s state while preserving his formidable combat stats. His 5/5 body paired with a 9/9 transformed form reinforces his role as a resilient frontline warrior who thrives in red devotion decks, making him a valuable addition to competitive and casual play alike.
