I don't know...To me, it seems that the people making these cards switched up the names for this and Mogis's Marauder. I mean, the human looks kinda like a fanatic and this guy looks a lot more like a marauder to me...just saying...just saying

Ok I'm still relatively new to magic but if I summoned him then casted Tainted Strike on it, would the damage from it's enter the battlefield effect be poison counters?

@jmilzy -- yes, actually. as long as you were able to cast the 
targeting the Fanatic right after his triggered ETB ability goes on the stack. Then, cast Tainted Strike. It will resolve, giving the Fanatic +1/+0 and Infect.... THEN his ETB ability will resolve, counting your devotion to Red for the amount of damage. So, it would be quite possible to immediately kill with that combo.
The main problems with it, are that if you're that heavily mono-Red, it's probably best for consistency to just stay in-color. And, Red Infect really isn't a thing, so if you didn't get the kill in then, those Poison counters are mostly going to be useless and the damage would be better. There IS some good Black Infect, but you'd want lots of Red signs on the board to maximize the Fanatic's damage.
So, in a casual setting it could be a ruthless combo (and maybe there's an EDH application for this)... but I'm not sure I'd recommend trying it anywhere else.
If you can turn t... (see all)
