Desperate Measures would be beneficial in decks that utilize sacrifice strategies, such as black sacrifice or graveyard-based decks, as it offers the possibility of card advantage. However, there are stronger alternatives like Village Rites, which allow for a similar effect at instant speed and for a lower cost. Desperate Measures could potentially see situational play, but may not be a top choice in most competitive decks due to its slightly higher cost and limited impact.
