Probably something you didn't think about, but I think it's pretty cool.
I mean let's say defile is in your hand, but your opponent has a bunch of 3 health minions. Defile doesn't do anything. But if you Archer just 1 of those minions, Defile will kill archer, then the pinged minion, then the rest of the 3 health minions, and then maybe even a 4 health minion if they have one.
Defile is a nice card, But Elven archer adds a lot of versatility to this card, and I wouldn't be surprised to see them both run in doubles for the sake of comboing against aggro.
For that matter, several other cards could work too. You could play Possessed Villager into Defile, which is at least a hellfire, but I think Elven Archer still has more versatility with different types of boards.
There's probably even more unfathomed tech with a lot of these cards. It is my hope that all cards can have some use eventually.
Only problem with this is that Elven Archer is a bad card without Defile, which may not be worth it. However I suspect scenarios where you just need a bit more more damage on a minion to start a chain will be very common, so who knows. Super creative at the very least
I mean you can run Possessed Villager, which has more applications than Elven Archer, but tbh I don't understand why such an interaction even warrants a thread, you can go in the card's discussion thread to talk about this really.
Tainted Zealot is AMAZING with Defile. We are talking a 4 mana Flamestrike most likely minimum of 5 damage actually! Sure it clears your side of the board too, but if you are running control rather then Zoo then you are so in the business!
Defile BEGS to have spell damage ran with it. I really think that Street Trickster is going to make an appearance. Its a nice big body that should stick around after most Defile castings or even help it be cast a 4th time to do 8 damage to the board for only 5 mana, granted enough bodies have to die in the right order for that to happen, but when its doing 2 damage a casting things are going to melt quick!
Thalnos and Defile will only trigger once at +1 spell power, so 3 min damage and draw a card which is really strong! However because of the zealots divine shield you trigger the spell damage twice doing at least 5 damage! I think having both Zealot and Thalnos in the deck is a must.
Elven Archer + Defile

I like to make cards and discuss game balance.
I enjoy when "No similar decks were found."

Generally you don't want to put bad cards in your deck to make situational synergies work.
You'd probably be better off with a pyro or thalnos.

I plan on having 5 spell damage minions in my Control/Handlock deck, Tainted Zealot, Street Trickster and Bloodmage Thalnos.
thalnos is just wayyyy better and will deal 2 initially so way more versatile
SCAWN! PEEDLE SCAWN!!

Defile is such a op card ...
How naive :D
