Despicable Dreadlord is useful to clear low cost/low health minions very easily. In some cases, you can simply leave a enemy minion's health at 1 and use the rest of your minions to attacking the enemy hero, and use the Dreadlord to destroy it.

Playing two Despicable Dreadlord allows you to deal 2 damage at the end of each turn, which is much more effective.

Should this minion not be killed, it can produce havoc to decks that have a lot of low mana cost minions such as Zoolock and Pirate Warrior. It is especially effective as a tech card against aggressive paladin decks.

However, it can go wrong if the opponent has cards with effects that trigger when they take damage, such as Acolyte of Pain and Frothing Berserker.
