Command the Flames with Clive, Ifrit's Dominant
Clive, Ifrit's Dominant offers a compelling blend of raw power and card advantage that fits seamlessly into red devotion strategies. As a Legendary Creature with a sturdy 5/5 frame, Clive holds the frontline while enabling you to cycle through your deck by discarding your hand and drawing cards equal to your devotion to red. This mechanic not only replenishes your resources but also leverages the devotion theme prevalent in many red decks, rewarding careful mana and permanent management.
Beyond his initial impact, Clive’s activated ability provides a strategic twist. By paying a hefty mana cost and tapping him, you can exile Clive to return him transformed to the battlefield under your control. This transformation into a 9/9 creature significantly shifts board presence, forcing opponents to re-evaluate their defense. Clive’s design reflects the fiery essence of Ifrit, making him a key piece for players looking to blend aggressive creatures with tactical card draw in the Universes Beyond: FINAL FANTASY set.
