This is the first time I have made a custom card, but the idea has been stuck in my head for quite a while. It is an 'epic' card, and since the devs seem to target the silence meganic anyway, this would be the time to show you. I was in doubt about making it a 5/4, but, but I guess 3/5 would be better.
What are your opinions? Also, I saw there are weekly card contests, should I enter with it?
I think "unsilencing" is quite a difficult mechanic to wrap your head around, especially if the minion is already damaged, attack/health flipped etc. Reincarnate is basically an unsilence card, so I would rather put that effect on a minion.
The competitions have themes, so you might be able to enter, if it fits :)
In my mind, it simply resets the card to how it was before the silenceminus damage taken after the silence.
I see what you are saying about reincarnate, exept most that would do is re-apply a taunt and restore the minion to full health. Unsilencing would mean your minion could ragain its silenced Blessing of Kings.
Thanks for the feedback and the information about the contests!
What kind of stats would you recommend? I thought a 4-5 would be too much for a 4-mana minion, as that is a vanilla Yeti, so I made it as big as Violet Teacher statwise.
What do you mean by multiple silence? Do you mean 1 minion been silenced twice? In this case it would be like this in my mind:
Minion -> blessing of kings -> gets silenced -> silenced minion gets blessing of kings again -> get silenced again. If now we target it with Silent Listener, it would be as if the never has never been silenced once in the game, causing it to gain +8/+8 from double Blessing of Kings.

Reincarnate also brings back deathrattle, divine shield and triggered abilities. The problem with unsilencing is that it is not intuitive. For example I would have never assumed to have it restore a spell. Furthermore it is also difficult to keep track of the non-visible effects (like a silenced Blessing of Kings) and it gets even more confusing with double silenced minions. Notice how you said "in my mind" in two posts which points at it being non-intuitive. Keep it simple...
I would suggest something like that:

Not bad but it needs a little better stats.
And how it gonna work with multiple silence?
