A deck focused on aggressive creature strategies, particularly those with high power, would benefit from Contest of Claws in order to efficiently remove opposing threats while potentially gaining card advantage through the discover mechanic. However, the card's situational nature and reliance on having a strong creature on the battlefield may limit its overall effectiveness compared to more versatile removal spells like Fight or Primal Might, which offer similar effects without the need for specific board states. Overall, Contest of Claws could see play in niche decks looking for a unique removal option, but may not be a staple in most competitive decks.
