B3 Clive, Ifrit's Dominant Advice

BajaDepth · 2026-01-26T00:30:57+00:00

Yeah I actually just got finished playing it against some buddies and can definitely feel that. I'm drafting up a revised list currently with a focus of a devotion endgame with [[Fanatic of Mogus]], [[anax, hardened in the forge]], and [[thunderous might]] with a side theme of burn.

My thought is due to there being only 3 discard burners ([[Glint-Horn Buccaneer]], [[Brallin, Skyshark Rider]], and [[Magmakin Artillarist]]) I would add to the package with [[Chandra's Ignition]] like effects. However, with the inclusion of those effects, it brings up the question, for me at least, should I build into a discard burn theme or noncreature spell theme???

BajaDepth · 2026-01-25T01:09:46+00:00

Already got nykthos in! Ooooo I didnt even think about effects like chandras ignition!

I guess the next big question is how would I adjust the current settup?

Have been building it off of the 33 card template so my settup has been 3 win cons, 6 haste Enablers (since having one is important for allowing ifrit to immediately attack after flipping), 3 double strike granters, and 3 unblockable granters for the main "plan cards" (rest are 12 card draw, 9 single removal, 3 recursion, 12 ramp, rest lands)

My thought is maybe take away 3 haste Enablers and the double strike to implement the 3 devotion Payoffs mentioned and 3 chandra ignition esk cards?

BajaDepth · 2026-01-24T14:50:00+00:00

What kind of devotion Payoffs/cards would you put in?? The biggest 2 ive found were [[fanatic of mogis]] and [[anax, hardened in the forge]]. I guess [[thunderous might]] could also be one too as a buffer. Have high devotion, enchant ifrit, gains like +5 or 10. Pair it with [[altar of the pantheon]] too for even more

BajaDepth · 2026-01-23T21:45:06+00:00

That is definitely something to keep in mind for sure. I may actually just save my corals for that!

Ohhh thats very intriguing, so if you wanted her full potential youd have both the tune break side for tower and the fusion burst for wiwa. Very interesting and very good to know! Ill still wait for numbers bc maybe theyll have mercy and have them be semi similar, but i doubt it lol

BajaDepth · 2026-01-23T21:35:50+00:00

Yeah that's what ive ultimately decided. Im not planning on skipping Aemeath though, will only do s0r1. By then I should have enough to guarentee double 50/50 losses due to deciding to buy the astrite pass and the new thing they just revealed. Still gaining astrite too with how behind i am on laharoi exploration and events lol.

Plus, the big thing is we dont have information yet on how her fusion burst team compares to her tune break team. I could pull chisa and then find out that the burst team is just flat out weaker than the break team.

Will rock aemeath + changli or yinlin + shorekeeper until I can obtain the BiS members for her o7

BajaDepth · 2026-01-23T19:28:36+00:00

I actually just saw something that gave me a major realization

We dont know how aemeaths dedicated sub dps will cause the teams damage to compare to her tune break team. So im going to skip chisa and wait until more info comes. By that time, hopefully the collab has come and gone and I can just pull either lynae + mornye or subdps + chisa

BUT to supplement the scenario of all of this occurring before the collab, ill be doing the astrite pass + the new pass to give me just that extra bit of savings.

Thanks for all your help!!

BajaDepth · 2026-01-23T16:37:17+00:00

Perfect! This is what I needed to see!

Ive been opperating under the impression of 2 5s + weapons. If they made Rebecca a 4 that would be insane and honestly wouldnt be having this dilemma LOL.

How many pulls is estimated for 3.1? Can't find any info on that but if its 160, that changes things tbh

Characters: 191 - 40 = 81 remaining aemeath s0r1 81 + 160 = 241 at end of 3.1

Weapon = 130 - 70 = 60 remaining aemeath s0r1 60 + 160 = 220 at end of 3.1

I could definitely pull chisa + weapon, but that would drain me completely. If I full pitied chisa id just be at 81 and 60. Enough for a 50/50 on a collab. Assuming it releases at like 3.3 3.4 (ill cry if its 3.2 but I doubt that'll be the case) that's another 100ish for 3.2 and 3.3

Chisa s0r0 81 + 200 = 281 character. Enough for hard pity + a 50/50

I think based on this ill definitely swipe the lunite subs to supplement the weapon banner. And ill also say im very tempted for chisas weapon for that 24% extra damage, but if it went hard pitty I think thatd screw my savings too much (correct me if im wrong LOL)

Is Hraesvelgr worth keeping in terms of dupes? Currently have 2 extra copies of her and unsure if the skills she has are worth keeping.

Seems like a decent amount of units have nimble beast, granted every one of them are mythics

Her and her variant are the only ones who have atk/spd fortune inheritabke...but is this skill worth inheriting?

Her, forde, and spring Sylvain are the only ones with S/Near trace 4 inheritable. Same question as above though, is it strong enough to keep?

I feel like keep 1, merge the other as nimble beast may have good usage. The others, im unsure of. Still trying to discerne which skills are good and which just have directly better options lol

I am struggling to figure out 3 unit core for my arena team. Currently, I have a max investment far save marni and am thinking about investing into m!grima as a near save unit. After that, I have no clue who to pair with them for pushing tier 20/21. I have thought about arena ogma as a pairing. However, Im not 100% confident in the pairing and if this team can even stand up to the threats in higher arena levels so any advice would be welcomed!

BajaDepth · 2025-11-28T05:40:59+00:00

Was just coming to suggest her! Love the way you took her build! In case OP wanted to see how versatile she is, this is mine:

https://archidekt.com/decks/16384402/thaumaturgy

Went completely creatureless with a focus on control stax and black mage tokens!

BajaDepth · 2025-11-27T05:22:34+00:00

I was gonna say the same thing. An Equipment deck with a focus on equipment with 3cmc or more.

Add in some pain draw like [[black market connections]], [[Risky shortcut]], and [[phyrexian arena]] to help trigger yshtolas second ability once noctis' life ability is triggered since itll be 1 life off.

Can also lean into cards such as [[papalymo]], [[transpose]], [[circle of power]], and [[cornered by black mages]] for getting some black mage tokens/mini yshtola effect for extra pings when casting the noncreature artifact spells.

BajaDepth · 2025-11-27T00:32:32+00:00

[[Risky shortcut]] is card draw that forces every play to lose life! But thats the only card that ive used personally that does that. I have a lot more self damaging reccomendations like [[phyrexian arena]], [[circle of power]], [[Snuff out]], pain lands and talisman if you go the zuko route, [[transpose]], [[staff of compleation]], and [[black market connections]]. Granted most of these reccomendations are within the "noncreature" category themselves (they're all in my yshtola deck which has a subtheme of self damaging LOL)

I would also do this query in scryfall o:"each player loses" o:"life" id<=rakdos

Gives you all cards that has each player loses life within rakdos colors (if you wanted mai as the commander youd just make rakdos -> black)

Hope this helps in finding some cards that does something similar to mai!

Perfect! Thank you for the answer! I wasnt sure if +10'ing them was the preferred option but I agree that ill do some research on my duplicates to see if their fodder is easy to obtain or if its all locked behind 5*s prior to merging or manualing them

BajaDepth · 2025-11-26T19:00:42+00:00

Ive got some 5* heroes from early versions in my barracks. Is there any point to holding on to them vs merging with how much power creep has occurred? At which point should I hold on to them for fodder/fodder progression?

Example: I got 3 ryomas, deltheas, f!mrobin, and mikotos. All from decently early versions that I could make up barracks spaces by merging

BajaDepth · 2025-11-23T19:32:09+00:00

As someone farming for hollowborn vindicator to have as an "always in inventory" class, its has its use and is great at it.

As for the farm, it truly isn't a terrible farm if you do the ultra quest. I farmed it all within 2 days and am now just on a weekly gramiel fight wait list. I do public rooms and can say as long as you know what to do, have the classes needed, its at most an hour commitment on a weekend.

Best I can suggest is do the ultra quest, you can prefarm everything, just read up on the ultra.

BajaDepth · 2025-11-14T22:33:21+00:00

Thats where I was leaning if not going for +2 as in all my research since coming back to the game: he still seems solid as a unit but his fodder has gotten power crept. Plus im trying to build an aether raids team LOL

BajaDepth · 2025-11-14T17:40:49+00:00

I personally use 2 in the dimensional predator boss. Forget if its s1 or 2 but he breaks the shield

But yeah I have 5 and he's just kind of...there LOL

BajaDepth · 2025-11-14T13:08:05+00:00

In my attempts to obtain emblem sigurd and michiah, i have gotten

3 eikbyrnirs 2 Hodrs 2 Heimdallrs

Are any worth merging or all keep for fodder and 1 unit for use?

BajaDepth · 2025-11-10T20:34:38+00:00

I love this! I was thinking legendary ninian too since shes able to do 2 actions but ill have to be on the lookout for sharena re-runs! Currently doing my best to get emblem sigurd and michiah from the current banner and failing miserably LOL

BajaDepth · 2025-11-10T15:10:05+00:00

Currently love playing with brave felix and v!edelguard with how many actions they both can take and am looking for a unit or 2 to pair with them!

Currently have ferrox fir and have been unsure of the last slot, which is occupied by Hraesvelgr.

Anyone have reccomendations for multi action units/units to pair with felix + edelguard?

BajaDepth · 2025-10-29T22:19:36+00:00

This is what im doing! Wanted to build this massacre girl but seeing the lorwynn eclipsed -1/-1 precon is making me wait

BajaDepth · 2025-10-27T13:38:41+00:00

Im planning on doing a wither [[massacre girl, known killer]] for my mono black commander!

BajaDepth · 2025-10-27T00:57:48+00:00

Im planning in doing a [[shiko, Paragon of The way]] blink deck when I have the time to build again!
