you draw a card. It delays one turn. What's the big deal? It doesn't even matter. It's only useful when you have extra draw power, and I haven't seen a game breaking :time :aether duo yet.

I understand that it's frustrating when your opponent chains a whole bunch of them in a row. But it isn't really OP. Especially in PvP - it's just a waste of a card space.

Silence, unless you're running precog, is pretty useless after t2. However, blocking the first two turns is a big deal. It is balance by the fact you'd have to run a good amount if you wanted to take advantage of it.

There are cards that need nerfs in this game (I'm not going to tell them to prevent changing the subject), but this isn't one of them.
You can still use creature/permanent abilities, it's not a "wasted turn", and santuary makes it completly useless.
Conclusion: leave it as it is.

Do Mirror Shield and Jade Shield reflect Silence?  If they do not, I believe that including Silence among the spells reflected would be an acceptable buff/nerf.  Otherwise, I think Silence is fine.

As far as I know, silence isn't reflected. But I don't think that it is strong enough to even have a reason for a small nerf like that.

They don't since it is not damage. Sanctuary prevents Silence, since it messes with players hands. Also how could you NERF it by changing the duration? (4th option in the poll)

I think he meant something like make it last two turns, and in exchange make it cost a lot more quanta. Probably...

I still think that would be a buff, but okay.

Boosting the cost of this card would make it pretty much useless. Since it is a Aether card it is part of a stall based element, therefore it would turn a rush based card (rush due to the fact that you only have a limited amount and that it hase no real effect late late game because you have most of your cards out already) into a card that could almost only be used in a duality deck or a mono Aether in which it has very little value.

Uh... silence is useless.

Nerf it?  Bwahahahaha.  If it were improved it might, possibly, be worth putting in a deck.  But probably not even then.

Preventing your opponent from saving itself with miracle, gaining an oppening in a dim/SoSac/BW chain, keeping your creatures safe from CC after a fractal, mitigating the effects of SoB on your opponent. Useless indeed.
