Building a Commander deck around Clive Ifrit's Dominant thrives on aggressive synergy and explosive burn strategies. With a focus on dealing noncombat damage, the deck capitalizes on red’s strength: turning every creature, spell, or land into a source of pain for opponents. Key burn engines like Impact Tremors, Purphoros, God of the Forge, and Witty Roastmaster turn token generation and creature-based strategies into reliable life loss triggers. Pair these with Gratuitous Violence, City on Fire, or Fiery Emancipation, and modest damage becomes devastating.

Clive's synergy with cards like General Kreat the Boltbringer, Hellrider, and Fanatic of Mogis allows for sudden, wide-reaching damage bursts, often closing out games. Cards like Repercussion pair well with area-of-effect damage-based board wipes, while Price of Progress and Sulfuric Vortex punish greedy mana bases and life gain strategies. Amplifiers like Torbran, Thane of Red Fell, Mechanized Warfare, and Solphim further intensify the burn theme.

Meanwhile, creatures like Agate Instigator and Molten Gatekeeper apply pressure while synergizing with mass damage effects. Ultimately, this deck thrives on efficient, repeatable damage, turning Clive's fiery domain into an inescapable blaze.

Magic: The Gathering (MTG) is a popular collectible card game created by Richard Garfield and first released by Wizards of the Coast in 1993. It combines strategy, fantasy, and storytelling in a richly immersive game where players assume the roles of powerful spellcasters known as Planeswalkers. Each player builds a deck of cards representing magical spells, creatures, and artifacts, using them to battle opponents in a competition to reduce their life total to zero. The game is played using a variety of card types including lands which provide mana to cast spells, creatures that are used to attack and defend, and instants and sorceries which produce powerful one-time effects.

Magic features a complex ruleset and deep strategic elements, with gameplay that often involves constructing decks tailored to specific strategies, known as archetypes. With various formats like Standard, Modern, and Commander, MTG offers diverse gameplay experiences. Its expansive lore, numerous expansions, and continuous updates keep the game fresh and engaging. Players enjoy the dynamic nature of deck-building, strategic planning, and the thrill of both competitive and casual play. The game's rich universe and complex mechanics contribute to its enduring popularity and global community.
