Cinder Strike would fit best in an aggressive or midrange red deck that either doesn’t mind putting -1/-1 counters on its own creatures or actively benefits from them—such as decks with creatures that have death triggers, persist/undying-style synergies, creatures that can shrug off counters (like those with +1/+1 counters to offset them), or sacrifice themes where a weakened creature is expendable.
