Fire Magic finds a niche in Standard as a flexible burn or damage-based spell that slots into red-centric archetypes. Players value cards that can either control the board or push the last points of damage through. It often synergises with prowess, spell-slinger, or noncreature-spells-matter strategies that reward chaining instants and sorceries. Its presence helps diversify the burn suite beyond the usual suspects like Shock and Lightning Bolt-style effects.
