A deck that focuses on controlling the board by removing specific types of creatures, such as tribal decks that don't include Angels, Demons, Devils, or Dragons, would benefit from using Power Word Kill. However, there are more versatile removal spells like Murder or Hero's Downfall that can target any creature, making them better options in most situations. Power Word Kill could see play in niche metagames where its restrictions are particularly useful, but in general, there are more efficient and flexible removal spells available.
