With Tasha's out, there is a new contender for the strongest cleric in the room: the twilight cleric.
And with the wildfire druid, there is a new multiclass friendly and strong subclass out there that is harmonizing perfectly with the twilight cleric.
Enough said... I present you: the Moonfire Cleric!
Race: whatever you like... But in this case we take a half-elf with the high-elf cantrip feature (to get acess to green-flame blade)
Class: Druid 2 / Cleric X (I would start with cleric for the better saves)
Why is it so good?
Obviously both are wisdom casters, so that is an easy multiclass. This class is for the most part a classical cleric build. But the strong thing here is the druids wildshape: we can use it to scout via beast shape or via find familar (cast with one action instead of an hour) OR we can use it to summon a wildfire spirit (for flavor reasons we call it a "moonfire spirit").
And ghat moonfire spirit is great. Yes, the hp is scaling with druid levels, so our little spirit is sitting at only 15 HP, but we can boost that every round with the temp hp from twilight sanctuary. The spirit can function as a (little bit weaker) alternative to Spiritual Weapon (if we are using it's ranged attack) - without using a spell slot. But it's real power comes with Fiery Teleportation: a bonus action 15 feet teleport for all your party members in 5 feet of it - at will! Every round! And you can re-arrange you party members with every teleport (they don't need to stand in the same formation when they are teleported).
Combine that with the very strong Channel Divinity of the Twilight and the strong level 6 fly without concentration feature ... And you get one of the strongest supports in the whole game!
The moonfire cleric is very versatile (flying, buffing, doing doog damage via (upscaled) Spirit Guardians) and easy to build - what's not to love?
I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work well. I haven't dug too deeply into the final wildfire druid due to being grumbly over the changes to its spell list.

Any time an unfathomably powerful entity sweeps in and offers godlike rewards in return for just a few teensy favors, it’s a scam. Unless it’s me. I’d never lie to you, reader dearest.

And now: your criticism please!
