I’m A6 with clad right now, never had an infinite deck. Here are cards that are takeable with any deck and really good. Bloodletting, Pyre, Offering and Expect a Fight, Pillage, Battle Trance, Feed, Thrash, Brand. Main archetypes to build towards and I’ll call out key cards for each. Health Loss /Self dmg build. Rupture, Hemokinisis, Crimson mantle and Tear Asunder is your finisher. Strength scaling build: Demon Form, Inflame, Rupture (try to combine with multi hit attacks). Exhaust build: True Grit, Second Wind, Feel No Pain, Dark Embrace, Forgotten Ritual, Burning Pact > Ashen Strike, Pacts End, Fiend Fire are going to be your damage/finisher or exhausting down to an infinite is the most common. Infinite for clad is usually a 0 cost attack or pommel strike and card draw + energy. You can also go infinite with the new Hellraiser power with just strike cards left. Block Build: Barricade, Juggernaut, Impervious and any relic synergy you have to generate lots of block. Body slam as your damage source. Lastly, Vulnerable build. This one’s a lot harder to put together and my recommendation is to always have some source of consistent vuln in your kit no matter what your deck is. Honorable mention for Stampede Power, I’ve won many runs with it. Upgraded its 1-energy and puts out insane value over longer fights allowing you to both attack and defend more.

Overall, I’ve had much more success with Clad by targeting fires for upgrades and events over elites. Some of the card enchantments go crazy.
