Nightblade

Nightblade is a neutral minion card, inducted into the Legacy set, formerly from the Basic set.

Strategy
This card's Battlecry is useful in dealing direct damage to the enemy hero. It synergizes with Brann Bronzebeard to double the Battlecry damage, and with Youthful Brewmaster and Ancient Brewmaster to replay the minion and reuse the Battlecry. However, Nightblade has poor stats for its mana cost, and is inefficient in comparison to many other burst damage options.
