Iron-Shield Elf would fit best in a black-based aggro or midrange deck that can take advantage of discard synergies, such as reanimator, madness, graveyard-value, or aristocrats-style builds, since turning discarded cards into value helps offset the activation cost; however, as a 2-mana creature (1B) that requires you to discard a card just to gain temporary indestructible and tap itself, it is generally inefficient unless your deck actively wants cards in the graveyard.
