About Defile

Defile, Instant, designed by Joe Slucher first released in May, 2019 in the set Modern Horizons and was printed exactly in 7 different ways. It see play in 3 formats: Commander, Pauper and Duel Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 13.89.

This card, Defile, would be beneficial in a mono-black control deck that focuses on swamps for mana production. It can be particularly effective in a deck with a high number of swamps, allowing for significant power reduction on target creatures. However, there are potentially better options like Fatal Push or Dismember, which offer more versatile removal at a similar cost. Whether Defile should see play would depend on the specific strategy and card pool of the deck, but it could certainly have a place in the right build.
