This card could be beneficial in a deck focused on controlling the board by manipulating your opponent's permanents. Decks that aim to disrupt the opponent's strategy by stealing or exchanging control of key cards could find Avarice Totem useful. However, there are more efficient and versatile cards like Thieving Magpie or Control Magic that offer similar effects without the need for tapping mana each time, making them better options for competitive play. Avarice Totem may not see much play in highly competitive decks, but could be a fun and interesting choice for casual or themed decks centered around theft and control strategies.

It is possible to activate this ability in response to itself and generate some odd combinations. For example, if you control this card and another permanent, you can use this card’s ability and target the permanent you control. You can then use this card’s ability again and target a permanent your opponent controls. The second usage resolves first and you get your opponent’s permanent in exchange for this one. The first usage then resolves and swaps your other permanent for the Totem so you get it back. The net effect is that you can swap any non-land permanent you have for any of theirs if you can activate this ability twice. Note that your opponent does get the chance to use the Totem in between the resolutions of your two usages if they have the mana.
