Crossposted from the Elements forum:
Specifically, buff Silence vs Sanctuary!

I think Silence is niche enough without Sanctuary protecting against it. Anyway Sanctuary says "your hand cannot be altered during your opponent's turn" - but Silence doesn't alter your hand, and it's impact certainly isn't felt until it's the Sanctuary-player's turn.

In terms of how much play each card sees, Sanctuary gets a lot of play, while Silence gets pretty little. This trade-off just gives players more reason to run Sanctuary and less reasons to run Silence :(

Thoughts?

Silence is strong. But I do think it's a reasonable buff. But chaining silence is an abusive strategy, so best that getting around sanct protecting dials/miracles from Silence involves making one's deck a bit janky. Voila, Dream Catcher
Dream Catcher

When opponent discards a card, add a copy of that card to your hand.During your opponent's turn, your hand & quanta pool are protected & you cannot be silenced.Nullify opponent's sanctuary effect.Destroy top card of target player's deck.3



NB Silence has already been buffed in oetg, it can target creatures in order to prevent their active for a turn
