Wishclaw Talisman can tutor for Divine Purge, which not only board wipes but also gets Claw back. Claw basically has the alternative mode "Tutor Purge and return Claw to hand".

Fires of Invention is important because our deck is so mana-hungry. Settle the Wilds (almost) always tutors Fires + a land if we play it with exactly four lands.

Combos

Claw by itself. Claw > Purge. We can do this repeatedly to board wipe up to three times with one Claw.

Claw by itself. Claw > Karn. Karn prevents opponent from activating Claw. With Karn, we can now go off with other combos (see below), or just wish for value.

Karn by itself. Karn> Claw > Trostani Discordant. Uptick Karn on Claw so that Trostani steals it back. We can do repeatedly to tutor for {1} every turn. Claw can also do this by itself (see below).

Claw by itself. Claw > Karn > Claw > Trostani. Now do the same as above.

Claw can tutor any of the following cards for "free" because it either destroys the Claw or, even better, gives it back to us:

• Divine Purge
• River's Rebuke
• Leave / Chance
• Teferi, Time Raveler
• Ashiok, Nightmare Muse
• Karn
• Ashiok, Dream Render
• Farewell
• Hour of Revelation
• Mythos of Snapdax

Fragment Reality can exile Claw in response to activation, which gives us a Thraben Inspector

Yorion + Charming Prince/The Kami War   can blink each other infinitely.

If you exile claw with Portable hole, it will come back to owner's control if it leaves. That means every time you blink hole, you can activate claw at instant speed before exiling claw again to get one free trigger. You can set up a loop of yorion + blinker to get a free claw activation every turn.

After we cast our first spell with Fires, we can cast Yorion next, and blink Fires, so we're free to play more than two spells.

Mirrorshell Crab can be played despite Fires. Notably, if opponent tries to cast Collected Company at our end step, we can Claw tutor for Crab in response.

Settle the Wilds tutors a specific card if played with the following number of lands:

• 4 lands: Fires (80% of the time). The main purpose of Settle is a way to tutor Fires, a very important card.
• 5 lands: The Kami War  
• 6 lands: Mirrorshell Crab
• 7 lands: Ugin, the Spirit Dragon

Nine Lives + Solemnity prevents all damage. But be careful because Solemnity shuts off Claw and sagas.
