This card, Magus of the Arena, would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on creature combat and removal strategies, especially in red-based aggressive decks or decks that aim to control the board. While it offers a unique form of creature removal, there are more efficient and versatile options available in the Magic: the Gathering card pool, such as Fight cards like Prey Upon or removal spells like Lightning Bolt. Whether Magus of the Arena should see play depends on the specific strategy and synergy of the deck, as there may be better alternatives for achieving similar effects more efficiently.
