Interesting tidbit I just noticed... when Asvedon, the Grandshield is in hand... it will tell you what spell will be copied by it - EVEN IF THAT SPELL IS A SECRET.
Not a huge deal in most instances, I would guess... however, in the case I discovered it, the secret happened to be Objection!, so I was able to play around a counter I technically shouldn't have known about for board position and the win.

They don't want control warrior to be a successful archetype anymore. It's been literally years since any useful tools printed for control warrior. It's all pirates and go face asap now.

Dean "OTK is fun" Ayala is gone? Color me hopeful for future balance and design choices.

There is no mention of "state" or "meta" in my original post for a reason. You, and I guess everyone downvoting me missed my point completely. The cards I've mentioned offer an excessive amount power, that's a fact. It doesn't matter if Cariel as you say could, potentially get countered by one card, it's still fundamentally too powerful.
Ultimately, Idk what rank you're playing at but in my experience, the cards I've mentioned make the experience of playing HS worse. Why?
1. For the person playing Paladin, the experience is so tailored and dumb down that even when you win it's actually not satisfying. It just feels too cheesy. Very similar feeling to og Pirate Warrior Quest.
2. Players playing against are in for an experience that feels generally overwhelming after the opponent will play one cheesy card after the other, ultimately creating the feeling of a BS, dumb down deck.

I'm a bit surprised no one is talking about Paladin. This class has BS card after BS card, it's comical at this point. Radar Detector Bubblebot Alliance Bannerman Lightforged Cariel ,etc. Bonkers amounts of cheese..

Rockara at 5 armour, might as well delete the card.

It doesn't really matter what we think their philosophy is though, does it? That can be subjective.
What actually is (factually, objectively) their philosophy regarding Silence, can be found somewhere written should you want to investigate, and/or why not share with all of us.

So, you want to debate the fact that they (HS Team) openly communicated their design philosophy regarding cards with Silence? I'm not sure there is an argument here at all. It's not even about if I like the card or not, which I never actually stated.
Please, don't ask me for "proof". In case you're not aware of what me and other members of the community are referring to, I'd recommend you doing some quick research on the topic.

What exactly are you trying to debate here, bud?

Why do they keep backtracking on their own decisions? First was Charge, now Silence 😒 Are they trying to create a problem so they can "fix" it later? This is very confusing, they should come out and say what changed in their philosophy because right now it seems they don't know what they're doing. Their design right now literally contradicts their established philosophy.
