It's been known that the Dragon's Maze Buy-a-Box promo is called Render Silent for months, since the sales solitication announcement for the set was first sent out. But today, one MTGSalvation Rumor Mill user claims to have found the card itself hidden among a package of Friday Night Magic promo cards. Here's the text of the card that JackAtlas claims to have found:
Render Silent WUU
Instant (Rare)
Counter target spell. Its controller can't cast spells this turn.
"We have confiscated your spells as evidence. Once we conclude our investigation, you may petition to have them returned."
The story given for the blurriness of the picture involves the card being given to another player, so there was only a short time available to take the photo. In any case, the art is new and the card formatting appears to be correct, which puts it within reason of being real.
This is a powerhouse counterspell if it is indeed real; it looks like the final nail in the coffin of storm decks as well as effective insurance against combat tricks if used precombat and generally useful against burn and other archetypes that sling a lot of cheap spells. At converted mana cost three, it'd see heavy play in many a control deck.
As of 11 AM EST, a much clearer image of Render Silent has been found, proving it to be real!
