This Infernal Kirin card would be a great addition to a Spirit or Arcane tribal deck in Magic: the Gathering, as it synergizes well with those types of spells by disrupting the opponent's hand. While it can be a powerful tool in the right deck, there may be better options depending on the specific strategy and format. Cards like Liliana of the Veil or Thoughtseize could provide more consistent hand disruption, but Infernal Kirin could still see play in a deck looking to capitalize on Spirit and Arcane spells.

Shining Shoal also has an ability that says “You may exile a white card with converted mana cost X from your hand rather than pay Shining Shoal’s mana cost”; if you choose to pay the alternative cost and exile a card with converted mana cost 2, then X is 2 while Shining Shoal is on the stack and its converted mana cost is 4.
