Rulings

From the Usurp the Shadow Throne release notes

If you cannot banish a card from your hand, you cannot play Harbinger of Destruction.
You can banish any card from your hand to pay Harbinger of Destruction. If that card has the Shadow type, then Harbinger of Destruction will get an on-hit trigger. If the banished card later loses the Shadow type, Harbinger of Destruction will keep the gained on-hit trigger.
