This card, Claim the Firstborn, would benefit decks that focus on aggressive strategies or creature-based tactics, such as Red Deck Wins or Rakdos Sacrifice decks in Magic: the Gathering. While it can be useful for stealing an opponent's creature and using it to attack or sacrifice, there are better options like Act of Treason or Threaten which have a lower mana cost and can target any creature. Claim the Firstborn could see play in specific metagames where stealing a small creature for a crucial attack or sacrifice is important, but overall, it may not be a top choice in most competitive decks due to its limitations compared to other similar cards.
