Commander: Clive, Ifrit's Dominant // Ifrit, Warden of Inferno

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Clive, Ifrit's Dominant is a mono-red saga-demon deck built around transforming into Ifrit, Warden of Inferno to generate large burst mana from the saga's Brimstone chapters. The primary plan is to turbo out Ifrit early via Clive's activation, then chain red draw spells, discard outlets, and burn effects to kill the table in one or two explosive turns. The deck uses red's looting and impulse draw to find its few finishers, with storm-like payoffs such as Neheb, Dreadhorde Champion, Smaug the Magnificent, and Desert Were-Worm. Secondary paths include pure burn from Cavalier of Flame's death trigger, direct damage from Magmakin Artillerist and Seismic Assault, and a giant X-spell finish with Fireball or Fall of the Titans. The hidden commander is the saga side Ifrit, Warden of Inferno, but the front face is the enabler needed to cheat the mana requirement and flip. The deck leans heavily on Clive's discard-and-draw to churn through the library and accumulate devotion while setting up the transformed saga's mana engine.
