A black-based control deck would benefit from including Go for the Throat in its strategy, as it provides efficient removal for nonartifact creatures at a low cost. While Go for the Throat is a solid removal option, there are arguably better alternatives such as Fatal Push or Murderous Rider, which offer additional flexibility or utility. Whether Go for the Throat should see play depends on the specific metagame and deck composition, but it can be a strong inclusion in the right context.
