A deck that focuses on aggressive red strategies, such as burn or aggro decks, would benefit from including Scorching Dragonfire due to its efficient cost and ability to deal direct damage to creatures or planeswalkers. While there may be other similar cards like Lightning Bolt or Shock that offer similar effects, Scorching Dragonfire's exile ability can be particularly useful against graveyard recursion strategies.

Scorching Dragonfire’s replacement effect will exile the target creature or planeswalker if it would die this turn for any reason, not just due to lethal damage. It applies to the target creature or planeswalker even if Scorching Dragonfire deals no damage to it (most likely due to a prevention effect).
