This card, Word of Seizing, would be beneficial in a red aggressive deck looking to gain control of key permanents and potentially close out the game quickly. While it provides a powerful effect with split second and haste, there are other cards like Act of Aggression or Threaten that offer similar effects at a lower mana cost, making them potentially better options for deck construction. However, Word of Seizing could still see play in specific strategies that require its unique combination of abilities for surprise plays or to deal with specific threats.
