Flaming Fist Officer turns every +1/+1 counter placed anywhere on the battlefield into a free 1/1 Soldier token, which makes it an engine rather than a beater. Pair it with Animation Module and the loop runs itself for one mana per trigger.

Flaming Fist Officer is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker — and Pauper is where the common slot does real work, since token and counter synergies at common density are limited enough that this kind of passive engine stands out. In Commander it slots into any Boros, Selesnya, Naya, or four- and five-color counters build that can reliably trigger it, but it needs a critical mass of counter producers to justify the three-mana investment. Legacy and Vintage have no real interest in a 2/2 with a slow accumulation trigger.
