This card would be beneficial in a black-based control deck that focuses on casting a lot of black spells and utilizing Swamps. Decks that rely on draining the opponent's life or gaining life as a form of defense would benefit from Staff of the Death Magus. However, there are potentially better cards like Batterskull or Wurmcoil Engine that provide more impactful effects for their mana cost, so it may not see play in competitive Magic: the Gathering formats.
