The claw deck strategy is simple - put claws in your deck and play them as much as possible. How many claws is a difficult question, but more than 3 tends to be excessive and opens you up to too much damage. 2-3 is the sweet spot to make it fast enough.

Claws don't tend to be priority upgrades, as +2 damage per play is difficult to justify. Consider upgrading your defences or card manipulation tools first.

At the start of your turn, use the passive ability of your next Orb.

Hologram, All For One, Rebound and Reboot can be great at retrieving Claws to ramp them up faster.

Draw is also powerful for the same reason, so consider Scrape, Coolheaded, Skim and the likes.

Recycle can prevent pesky statuses from clogging up your deck and help make it thinner.

Frost tends to be the best use of your orb slots since damage scaling is not a concern with this deck. Glacier plus some Focus can go a long way.

Beam Cell is the only Defect card that applies Vulnerable, so pick it up if you see it to multiply your Claw damage even more.

Echo Form is always strong, but it's additional synergy with Claw is obvious.
