This card, Tangle Angler, would be beneficial in a deck focused on utilizing infect mechanics to quickly defeat opponents by dealing poison counters. While it can be effective in certain situations, there are potentially better options like Blight Mamba or Glistener Elf that offer more versatility or evasion. Whether Tangle Angler should see play depends on the specific strategy and synergy within the deck, but it could be a valuable addition for a dedicated infect deck looking to apply pressure early in the game.
