Claim the Firstborn, Sorcery, designed by Iain McCaig first released in Sep, 2019 in the set Throne of Eldraine and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.
This card, Claim the Firstborn, would benefit decks that focus on aggressive strategies or creature-based tactics, such as Red Deck Wins or Rakdos Sacrifice decks in Magic: the Gathering. While it can be useful for stealing an opponent's creature and using it to attack or sacrifice, there are better options like Act of Treason or Threaten which have a lower mana cost and can target any creature. Claim the Firstborn could see play in specific metagames where stealing a small creature for a crucial attack or sacrifice is important, but overall, it may not be a top choice in most competitive decks due to its limitations compared to other similar cards.

Claim the Firstborn can target any creature with converted mana cost 3 or less, even one that’s untapped or one you already control.

Gaining control of a creature doesn’t cause you to gain control of any Auras or Equipment attached to it.
