This Containment Priest card would be beneficial in a white-based control or hatebears deck looking to disrupt graveyard strategies or cheat creatures into play. It can be a strong sideboard option against decks that rely on reanimation or cheating creatures into play. However, in some cases, cards like Rest in Peace or Auriok Champion may be more effective depending on the specific meta and strategy of the deck. Overall, Containment Priest can be a valuable inclusion in the right deck but may not always be the best choice depending on the situation.
