I really hope this does not become a thing, why would blizzard do this, even tho it is super unlikely, imagine this awakening by turn 6-7, no fun at all
There are plenty of big removals in the deck. This is drawn out, delayed card that constantly forebodes that there is a big minion sitting there waiting, thereby making you keep the big removal. If you don't have it, there's a big minion with no way to get rid of it.
It's also a counter to Razakus Priest.
you can't silence him until he awakens
You didn't even spell "Silence" correctly.
1-Dormant minions don't count as minions, hence it won't work.
2-That's spelled "silence", you great thinker you.
Darkness speaks to me... But seriously, what would happen with dirty rat?
It will start dormant and you won't be able to awake him because there isn't any candles in the opponent deck.
They get a dormant minion forever because the battlecry gives you the activator spells
can it be silenced?
if you don't know yet: When its dormant its like Nether Portal which cannot be targeted or removed by any possible way. but once its woken, its like regular 20/20 minion which would mean if you silence, you would remove from it possible buffs like attack/hp buffs, but it will not go back to being dormant.

You can't silence dormant cards
How does this work with Evolve and Devolve? Can it be further d/evolved once it's summoned, or does it immediately go dormant, with no way to awaken it, and cannot be interacted with again? If that's the case, getting it from one of those, or another random effect, seriously sucks, because you just have one less minion space to work with.
so in worst case scenario when shaman uses evolve for full deck of 3 mana costing minions, he will have full deck of dormant darknesses. and best case scenario is when you use devolve to 5 mana minions and they turn into dormant minions that cannot be removed? so devolve buff and evolve nerf slightly with this.
How is this works? Is it aweiens only when all candles drawn?
If you combo this with Murmuring Elemental then you can shuffle 6 candles into the opponent's deck and they only need to draw 3 to summon him.
I don't care how good this is, I will run this just to mess with highlander priest.
You... take candle?
