A deck that focuses on control and disruption would benefit from using Memory Plunder, as it allows for the strategic use of an opponent's powerful instant or sorcery cards without having to pay their mana cost. While Memory Plunder is a strong card for its ability to steal spells from the opponent's graveyard, it could be considered situational compared to other cards like Snapcaster Mage, which provides more flexibility and value by allowing you to cast any instant or sorcery card from your own graveyard. Ultimately, the decision to include Memory Plunder in a deck would depend on the specific strategy and synergies of the deck in question.
