This card, Glistening Oil, would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on utilizing infect as a win condition, as it provides a consistent way to give a creature infect and can be recurred from the graveyard. However, in competitive play, there are likely better options such as Grafted Exoskeleton or Phyresis, which offer similar effects without the downside of putting -1/-1 counters on the enchanted creature. Overall, Glistening Oil may not see much play in highly optimized decks due to its drawbacks compared to other infect enablers.
