A deck that focuses on controlling the board and disrupting the opponent's strategy would benefit from including Polymorphist's Jest. This card can be particularly effective against decks that rely heavily on creature abilities or have powerful creatures with abilities that need to be neutralized. While Polymorphist's Jest is a unique and situational card, there are other options like Cyclonic Rift that offer more versatile and powerful board control effects, making them better choices for competitive play. However, Polymorphist's Jest can still be a fun and unexpected inclusion in certain deck strategies for casual play.
