This card, Dagger of the Worthy, would be beneficial in an aggressive red-black deck focusing on dealing damage quickly and efficiently. It can be particularly effective in a deck with evasive creatures that can trigger afflict consistently. However, there are potentially better options available such as Bonesplitter or Sword of Fire and Ice, which offer more versatile and powerful effects for a similar cost. Whether Dagger of the Worthy sees play would depend on the specific strategy and synergy within the deck, as well as the overall metagame.

Rules

07/14/17

Afflict causes the defending player to lose life; it’s not damage or combat damage.

07/14/17

Afflict resolves before combat damage is dealt. If this loss of life brings a player to 0 life or less, that player loses the game immediately. A blocking creature with lifelink won’t deal combat damage in time to save that player.

07/14/17

If a creature has multiple instances of afflict, each triggers separately.
