A deck that focuses on gaining life and then intentionally reducing it would benefit from using Shadow of Mortality, as it allows for a potentially significant cost reduction. However, there are likely better cards for achieving a similar effect more efficiently, such as Phyrexian Arena or Necropotence, which provide card advantage without the life loss condition. Overall, while Shadow of Mortality could be an interesting addition to certain niche strategies, it may not see widespread play in competitive decks due to its limitations compared to other options available.
