Tainted Strike, Instant, designed by James Ryman first released in May, 2020 in the set Scars of Mirrodin. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's a key card in 4 combos.
This card, Tainted Strike, would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on quick and aggressive strategies, particularly in decks that aim to win through infect damage. It can be a powerful finisher by giving a creature infect and potentially dealing lethal poison counters to an opponent. However, there are better options like Glistener Elf or Blight Mamba that provide a more consistent infect strategy. Tainted Strike could still see play as a situational combat trick or as a surprise win condition in certain decks.

The -1/-1 counters remain on the creature indefinitely. They’re not removed if the creature regenerates or the turn ends.
