[MtG] [DGM] Render Silent

[.Rai]

This is pretty much exactly what I speculated out of this card when we first heard the name. Power level in the format? I'm gonna guess RWU Control has a boost now.

Counter target spell. Its controller can't cast spells this turn.

Some friends were talking about it. They think it's a low power level because the only decks that play more than one spell are things like Naya Blitz, which if they're going off turn 3 they've lost anyway.

Agree with above. Outside of EDH where anything can happen the general rule is most turns will see 1 spell per turn card. Not to mention we simply have better options.

Bad card is bad.

Worse than Dissipate, currently. Arguably going to be worse than Cancel after rotation, depending on what else gets printed. Way worse than Counterflux in any deck playing red. Way worse than Psychic Strike in any deck playing black.

I mean, I can see it being used in U/W oriented decks since it at least should be just as easy to get off as cancel, and with the slight benefit that might make a difference once in a blue moon.

 

But yes Counterflux is superior by far (which is funny because I remember it being looked down upon because of its overload)
