A deck focused on cycling and discarding cards, such as a Grixis or Rakdos control deck, would benefit from including Archfiend of Ifnir due to its ability to weaken opposing creatures with -1/-1 counters. While there may be other cards with similar effects, Archfiend of Ifnir's flying ability and potential to disrupt the opponent's board state make it a strong choice for decks looking to control the battlefield.
