A deck that focuses on aggressive creatures with power 4 or greater, such as a Temur or Gruul midrange deck in Magic: the Gathering, would benefit from including Stubborn Denial. It provides a versatile and efficient way to counter noncreature spells, especially when the ferocious condition is met.

Some ferocious abilities that appear on instants and sorceries use the word “instead.” These spells have an upgraded effect if you control a creature with power 4 or greater as they resolve. For these, you only get the upgraded effect, not both effects.
