At first glance, it’s unclear how useful this card will be in the meta that follows the release of the new expansion—it’s difficult to judge Necrium Blade when all of the The Boomsday Project’s cards haven’t been revealed yet. If this card is used, it’ll most likely be best served in a deck with plenty of minions that have Deathrattle abilities.

Some Rogue minions with Deathrattle effects that Necrium Blade could take advantage of include Cursed Castaway, Kobold Illusionist, and Bone Baron. Other neutral minions, such as Cursed Disciple, Lost Spirit, Loot Hoarder, and Silver Vanguard, could also have their Deathrattle abilities triggered by this weapon.
