Buff Silence

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


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