Seal of Fire is a one-mana enchantment that sits on the board and threatens 2 damage at any time — instant-speed removal stapled to a permanent type. The flexibility to fire it on your opponent's end step, or hold it as a deterrent, makes it meaningfully better than a straight burn spell at the same cost.

In Commander, Seal of Fire is too low-impact — 2 damage rarely kills a relevant threat at the table, and a single-use enchantment at one mana competes with faster, broader removal. Pauper is where Seal of Fire actually earns a slot, appearing in Burn and Delver shells that want redundant one-mana damage with added resilience against counterspells targeting sorceries. Legacy and Vintage have access to strictly more efficient options, but Seal of Fire occasionally shows up in threshold-enabling lists where the enchantment type and graveyard entry matter more than the damage.
