About Death of a Thousand Stings

This card would be beneficial in a control or midrange deck that focuses on card advantage and incremental life gain. It can help maintain card advantage by potentially returning to your hand each turn if you have more cards than your opponents, providing a recurring source of life gain and damage to your opponent. However, there are better cards with similar effects like Gray Merchant of Asphodel which provides a bigger life swing and Vicious Offering which offers removal in addition to life gain. Overall, Death of a Thousand Stings could see play in specific decks that value its recurring nature and incremental advantage.
