A deck that focuses on disrupting the opponent's card advantage and card draw engines would benefit from including Notion Thief, particularly in control or tempo decks that aim to outvalue their opponents. While Notion Thief can be a powerful tool in certain matchups, it may not always be the most efficient option due to its high mana cost and vulnerability to removal. Other cards like Narset, Parter of Veils or Teferi, Time Raveler may offer similar effects with additional utility, making them potentially better choices in certain situations. Ultimately, the decision to include Notion Thief in a deck should depend on the specific meta and strategy of the deck in question.
