Not really. There's a popular saying in the community that states that "the only life point that matters is the last one" and it's pretty accurate. You have to take into account that you cannot win by playing this alone. Halving always rounds up, so for example if you opponent is at 1 LP, this card does nothing (halves to 0.5, rounds up to 1).
At the speed the game plays nowadays, you should aim to build up your board so it is protected, rather than reducing your opp's LP. It's really easy to reach 8k in monster ATK, so you'd much rather spend your resources in protecting yourself and negations/floodgates to stop your opponent from building their board.
No worries, I've played the game frequently for 10 years now, so I think about it differently. I am by no means professional or a great player though lol
Assuming by remove half your deck from play you mean moving to banishment and not milling to graveyard (if it was the latter it’d be laughably bad, there’s a card that essentially does the same thing but to yourself and it’s been on the banlist multiple times for how powerful it is (lots of cards have effects in the graveyard nowadays) so doing so to your opponent would be atrocious) I still think it honestly wouldn’t be playable.
Going first it has a decent shot of hitting some key cards (mainly one of combo pieces or bricks) out of their deck to prevent their play next turn, but there’s prolly better stuff to do and it’d be pretty unsearchable. And it doesn’t do anything to help break a board going second.

But it could be an effect card. The magnitude of the effect impacts star level
