It could work well in a mono-black or black-blue control deck that focuses on attrition and resource denial. While Painful Quandary can be effective in certain situations, there are arguably better options available, such as Liliana's Caress or Megrim, which provide similar effects at a lower cost and can have a more immediate impact on the game. Whether Painful Quandary should see play ultimately depends on the specific strategy and synergy of the deck it's being considered for.
