Come on, this is just absurd. Azorius gets the Geist, D Sphere, Leonos's Verdict, and Isperia's Revelation to name a few, then this?? U/W is getting too spoiled IMO. Not to mention 2/3 Buy A Box Promos go to the Lawmakers of Ravnica...

So Wizards has been putting the nerf bat to counterspells because Counterspell was too good.
So they reprinted it with a Silence stapled to it.
Riiiiiight....

No this will not. Force of Will is the go-to mainboard counterspell in Vintage. It's the only one typically able to keep up with the power of the format.

When I only saw the 'Buy a Box Promo' I thought certanly this must be a fake, glad I was wrong.
4/5 Stars

Casting this during your opponent's turn gives you...
1) the removal of 1 card in your opponent's hand and the removal of a potentially game changing card
2) your opponent draws mana for no gain
1&2 = counterspell
3) your opponent can't play spells for the rest of their turn unless the spell targets render silent
3 = silence
4) if render silent resolves your opponent will have a difficult time playing abilities because of the mana used to cast the countered spell.
4 = the effect of counterspell and silence complimenting each other

This card just inspired me to build a silent deck. Put 4 X Silence, 4 X Render Silent, 4XGrand Abolisher ....
With this card, you pretty much paid only 2 for counterspell like Counterspell and pay another one mana for Silence but you also save number of cards in your hand.
Very strong card.... 5/5

When you think about it, there really aren't /that/ many circumstances in which this is better than both Counterspell AND Silence. Early game you'll usually just be using this as a more expensive Counterspell. Late-game you might screw someone over by getting rid of a card from their plan (aka same as Counterspell) or you might stall a turn (aka same as Silence) but only rarely will both effects be needed.
Think of this as Silence+opponent discards 1. There are some situations where this is better (opponent has cards to play on your turn or activated abilities requiring mana but not the mana required to do them and cast something) but a lot of the time the {U}{U} will just add on an inverse cantrip, which is good but not great in terms of mana-efficiency.
tl;dr pretty niche card and I wouldn't mainboard this over Counterspell OR Silence.
