Hearthstone Tip of the Day: What does Silence Mean?

Prima’s daily Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft tips series continues. Yesterday, we talked about using Battlecry, and now it’s time to let you know about Silence. It’s a great way to combat minions using Taunt, giving you a nice advantage on the battlefield.

Silence is a negative keyword usually imparted as part of another creature’s battlecry. A minion that has been silenced loses all of its special abilities, including those imparted by spells and not part of the minion’s normal text.  

One simple use of silence is to use it on minions with taunt. This will remove the taunt ability, and allow you to attack any target you want (assuming the opponent doesn’t have more than one taunt creature).
