Simian Spirit Guide is a versatile card that can benefit aggressive red decks looking to ramp up their mana quickly. It can provide an extra boost of mana early in the game to cast powerful spells or creatures ahead of schedule. While it does have its limitations, such as being a one-time use and requiring you to exile it from your hand, it can still be a valuable tool in the right deck. However, there are other cards like Lotus Petal or Chrome Mox that offer similar mana acceleration without the drawback of being a one-time use, making them potentially better options depending on the deck's strategy and needs. Ultimately, whether Simian Spirit Guide sees play will depend on the specific deck and its overall game plan.
