This card would benefit a black-based aggro or midrange deck that focuses on controlling the board and gaining incremental advantages. While Shelob's Ambush provides a temporary power boost and deathtouch to a creature, as well as generating a Food token for life gain, there are potentially better options available in the Magic: the Gathering card pool that offer more impactful effects for the same mana cost. Whether or not Shelob's Ambush should see play would depend on the specific strategy and synergies of the deck it is being considered for.
