Cinderhaze Wretch
Creature — Elemental Shaman
: Target player discards a card. Activate only during your turn.
Put a -1/-1 counter on this creature: Untap this creature.
Thick smoke billows and twists to form disturbing faces that cackle and click their teeth to the popping embers.

You put the -1/-1 counter on Cinderhaze Wretch as a cost. That means it happens when you activate the ability, not when it resolves. If paying the cost causes the creature to have 0 toughness, it’s put into the graveyard before you can untap it and before you can even pay the cost again.
