Comments
A straight up silence effect that also requires this to make a suicide dive most of the time.
Probably playable, mostly because playing Ironbeak Owl is much worse. It does get walled by taunts though
Moving on.
Well, if it's run I think it will likely mostly be in tournaments as tech against Rogue specifically. Playing a minion that outright kills Questing Adventurer and [Hearthstone Card (Edwyn VanCleef) Not Found] will surely help, it's jst too bad that was the best weapon Rogues had against Demon Hunters.
Good exactly against buffs
Okay, i needed a few minutes to think about this one. Silence is a niche effect that is mostly effective in certain metas (like deathrattle or taunt heavy ones). Other than that, it's just mostly used by aggro decks to bypass taunts. This is a rush card and it's supposed to make an immediate trade thus killing a minion which would make the silence not relevant. After thinking a little bit more i remembered those disgusting keyword combinations (taunt + deathrattle, taunt+ reborn) and the existence of "Can't be targeted by spells or Hero Powers". Also, technically it could live one extra turn and you could get an extra attack and more silences out of it. That's most likely never gonna happen though. So, this card has it's niche uses (it's better against Winged Guardian). However, it's still just a tech, the stats are bad and it will never hit more than once (most likely). Can DH afford a slot for something like this when they have access to Consume Magic which is the strongest silence in the game? Probably not. I'm not impressed or scared by this. It would be a completely different story if they didn't already had a powerful silence but that's not the case. Also, Kayn Sunfury exists. And it should burn in hellfire.
Well, Consume Magic cannot target hexproof/elusive minions, so this still might see play.
Also you can't silence your own minions which is kind of a deal
I did mention in my comment that it's good against those types of cards. But i don't really see it being played because the only worthwhile minion with that effect is Winged Guardian and Big Druid fell off the meta pretty hard in the current expansion. I don't see it making a comeback without more big cards (beasts in particular).
This needed to be a neutral card, not DH exclusive.
Wait, what? I thought we were Demon Hunters, not Mage Hunters.
Mages, Classmates, Demons they all look the same when you're blind.
This card will be annoying, but I'm sure most things that it rushes into will kill it since it only has 3 health so it's likely to be a 2 damage + silence. As a hunter main, I will be pretty annoyed when this hits Zixor...
I... really don't like this being a thing. There was no reason for more silence. Maybe if you made it (1) cheaper and removed the rush, it would be fine but as it is... no. Just no.
Ah right demon hunter didn't have good enough silence...
