Flame-Wielding Power with Clive, Ifrit’s Dominant
Clive, Ifrit's Dominant stands as a robust centerpiece in any red devotion deck, fully embodying the fiery fury of his namesake. This Legendary Creature channels Ifrit’s relentless blaze through a unique devotion-based mechanic that reshapes your hand upon entry. The option to discard your hand and draw cards equal to your devotion to red provides a strategic refresh, allowing you to adapt fluidly to the evolving battlefield. This effect rewards decks that flood the board with red permanents, turning Clive into a catalyst for momentum rather than a mere attacker.
Beyond its 5/5 baseline, Clive’s activated ability offers a game-changing transformation. By paying the mana cost and tapping, you exile Clive and bring him back transformed under your control, a move that demands careful timing but promises explosive impact. This mechanic not only enhances board presence but also encourages tactical patience. Whether you’re building around devotion or looking for a resilient Legendary Warrior that scales with your red mana, Clive, Ifrit’s Dominant fits seamlessly into aggressive and midrange strategies alike.
