This card would be beneficial in a spell-heavy deck that focuses on filling the graveyard with instant and sorcery cards, enabling Cryptic Serpent to be cast for a lower cost. However, there are better alternatives like Enigma Drake or Crackling Drake, which not only benefit from the same graveyard strategy but also provide additional abilities or benefits, making them more versatile and impactful choices for decks focused on spells. Cryptic Serpent could still see play in specific deck archetypes that heavily rely on instant and sorcery spells, but overall, it may be overshadowed by more powerful options in competitive play.
