For Begone's gauge cost, it kinda depends on the way the rest of the deck is built. The gauge is perfectly manageable since Magic World has so many cards to gain and conserve gauge like First Volume, Buer, Soichiro/Genjuro, Kosher, etc. Assuming you don't have too many other gauge-heavy cards, Begone isn't a problem.

Begone's utility to get rid of problem monsters before they can even do anything can be a big deal. Saving yourself the effort and advantage to get rid of units before they can sit on their soulguards or harm you makes the cost worth it. Even getting rid of units with high defense is worth it since it saves you the minus you'd have to link attack over them.

But because you won't always be dealing with those kinda problem monsters and since Size 3s exist, no one ever plays Begone at 4. 2 is a safe amount for most builds. Siding it is also a good idea.

Oh and yeah, if you're expecting a Magic World deck with Rs and below to be cheap, you are going to have a terrible time.
