It's basically The Darkness with 16 less health and attack, it doesn't go dormant and has a different card text.
Let's be real here. This is basically a 4/4 Snowflipper Penguin that Silences a Snowflipper Penguin.
Dude.
What I meant is that this is a 4 mana minion that Silences another one. As such we can compare it to Spellbreaker, an already existing card. Compared to that one, this has clear upsides, so it's better. That's what I meant. Not "this is a minion, and that is a different minion."
How much better we'll have to see, depending on the meta.
If you have a 1/1 copy of a big-ish minion, you could silence that and get a beat-stick and the effect on a separate entity.
Right. I was also thinking in Wild you could do something like play this on a friendly Ragnaros. The silenced 8/8 could then attack as normal and the 4/4 copy gets the Rag shot off.
I guess it's best for yoinking the opponent's strong effects/deathrattles rather than being great synergy with your own cards, since if you wanted to silence your own minions, then you wouldn't want it to turn into an un-silenced version. It's quite a bit better than Spellbreaker, so it has to be pretty good, though priest can easily just steal the minion anyway so it might not be needed.
Its Prince Taldaram without the deck building restrictions, that gives you a 4/4 of whatever you target and then silences it (not itself).
So its a very flexible card for all occasions, but this card lives and dies from the value of silence in the meta, since the effect doesn't allow you to just copy your own deathrattle cards for more value. So if the meta requires more silences, then this one will oblige. Otherwise, its just a slightly cheaper Faceless Manipulator that doesn't copy the target's stats, and doesn't double your deathrattle value.
A little underwheling for a priest legendary, but then again, maybe that was intentional by design.
Compared to Spellbreaker pretty good and can be run in standard - a one of obviously but if in the meta silence is good so is this.
Awesome card.
5 stars
So basically, become a silenced copy of a minion? Nevermind, you silence the chosen minion.
A non silenced copy of a silenced minion
It silences the target, not itself.
I don't feel like the effect is worth being Legendary, cool card overall tho.
