Executioner's Swing, Instant, designed by Karl Kopinski first released in Feb, 2013 in the set Gatecrash.
This card, Executioner's Swing, would be beneficial in a control deck that focuses on removal and disruption, particularly against aggressive creature-based strategies. While it can be effective in certain situations, there are potentially better options available such as Fatal Push or Path to Exile, which offer more versatile removal at a lower cost. Whether Executioner's Swing should see play would depend on the specific meta and the overall strategy of the deck, but it may not be a top choice in competitive play compared to other removal options.

You can’t choose a creature that hasn’t yet dealt damage during the turn as the target of Executioner’s Swing, so in most cases it’s not possible for Executioner’s Swing to reduce the amount of combat damage a creature deals. (If a creature has double strike, you could cast Executioner’s Swing after it deals first-strike damage but before it deals regular combat damage.)
